The Royal Isselmere-Nieland Marines (RINM) is the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy's army, and as such does not operate as a separate branch of the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland Defence Forces (UKINDF) in its own right. The RINM comprise a force over a million strong, divided amongst several forces:
- The Fleet Marine Force, encompassing the RINM's embarked, base defence, and expeditionary forces;
- The Fleet Defence Force, consisting of embarked and harbour defence units;
- The Fleet Expeditionary Force, consisting of embarked expeditionary units;
- The Rapid Deployment Force, comprising heavier units capable of exploiting beachheads established by the Fleet Marine Force; and,
- The Marine Air Service, which administers the RINM's air component.
Contents
Fleet Marine Force
As noted above, the Fleet Marine Force (FMF) consists of the Fleet Defence Force and Fleet Expeditionary Force. At present, the FMF comprises over 640,000 Marines.
Fleet Defence Force
The Fleet Defence Force (FDF) consists of shipborne units assigned as security, boarding and counter-boarding, and inspection details as well as units assigned to defend the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy's bases and embassy security detachments.
Embassy detachments are typically platoon-size in strength, whereas shipborne units range from a light platoon of twenty Marines to light battalions with 453 Marines. Both embassy and shipborne units are equipped as light infantry, occasionally with some light anti-vehicle weapons as well as small arms.
Harbour defence units possess the gamut of equipment, from L117 assault rifles to L36 Lion tanks, and are easily the most recognisable members of the RINM.
At present, there are over 222,000 Marines in the shipborne contingent of the FDF.
Fleet Expeditionary Force
The Fleet Expeditionary Force (FEF) are those units assigned to expeditionary units within the RINN's Home and Expeditionary navies. Typically organised in Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) consisting of a battle group, a reinforced medium-lift helicopter squadron, and an amphibious assault squadron, the FEF's assigned role is to establish a bridgehead that can be subsequently exploited by units of the Rapid Deployment Force or of the Isselmere-Nielander Army. Other FEF contingents are listed below:
- Marine Expeditionary Squadron (MES), consisting of a reinforced RINM infantry company, launched from a Valley-class dock landing ship (LSD), consisting of approximately 350 Marines;
- Marine Expeditionary Commando (MEC), consisting of a reinforced RINM infantry battalion (i.e., a commando) and a medium-lift helicopter detachment of 4-8 aircraft, launched from an Ungforth-class landing platform dock (LPD) and a Valley-class LSD, consisting of up to 1136 Marines;
- Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), consisting of an RINM infantry battle group and a reinforced medium-lift helicopter squadron, landed by a Lord-class amphibious assault ship (LHD), with about 2892 Marines;
- Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB), typically consisting of up to three MEU with one RINM infantry regiment of three battalions and associated units, with generally about 15,000 Marines;
- Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), usually consisting of up to three MEB with one RINM infantry division and supporting units, typically consisting of up to 48,000 personnel.
Rapid Deployment Force
The Marines' Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) consists of heavier assault units such as armoured divisions that would be too difficult to transport ashore rapidly. The RDF exploits the gains made by the FMF until the arrival of the INA, should the situation demand larger forces, or operates as a holding force against enemy exploitation of bridgeheads in allied territory. The RDF's general organisational structure conforms to that of the INA.
Royal Isselmere-Nieland Marine Air Service
The RINM Air Service (RINMAS) operates fixed-wing, rotary wing (helicopters), and tilt-rotor aircraft that operate in immediate conjunction with RINM forces. RINMAS forms part of the RINN's Fleet Air Arm.
