Marineschutzkräfte: German Naval Infantry Troops

[CABAL]

German Navy Infantry Troops should not be confused as Marines like the USMC. Here they are en route to Lebanon.

What's the difference between them and Marines in terms of mission?

 

[CABAL]

The Marineschutzkrafte operate under Bundeswehr Navy Jurisdictions and are not regarded as Marines. In fact in the history of German warfare, Germany never truly had a Marine Division. Although we did had few occasions of Naval Infantry trained for Amphibious Assault, they were never truly considered as the Marines.

In terms of missions, these guys will probably spend more time on the ship rather than actual deployment on the ground.
