The Continental Marines were the amphibious infantry of the American Colonies (and later the United States) during the American Revolutionary War. The Corps was formed by the Continental Congress on November 10, 1775 and was disbanded in 1783. Their mission was multi-purpose, but their most important duty was to serve as onboard security forces, protecting the captain of a ship and his officers. During naval engagements, in addition to manning the cannons along with the crew of the ship, Marine sharpshooters were stationed in the fighting tops of a ship's masts specifically to shoot the opponent's officers, naval gunners, and helmsmen.

  • 大陸海兵隊(たいりくかいへいたい、英: Continental Marines)は、アメリカ独立戦争中の13植民地側が創設した海兵隊である。現在の合衆国海兵隊の起源とされている。1775年11月10日、大陸会議の承認によって結成され、1783年に解散した。 大陸海兵隊の任務は多目的なものであったが、最も重要なことは当時の他の国の艦船乗り組みの海兵隊と同じく、艦船の秩序を維持し、船長や士官の身を守ることであった。海上での交戦中は、狙撃手としてマストの戦闘楼に登り、敵船の士官や砲手、操舵手を狙い撃ちすることが期待された。 全体として大陸海兵隊には131人の士官と、恐らくは2,000人足らずの隊員がいた。個々の隊員は数少ない大陸海軍艦船のために流用されていたが、海兵隊の組織は1798年まで再構築されることはなかった。大陸海兵隊と現在のアメリカ海兵隊との間に長い期間が開いたものの、アメリカ海兵隊は1775年11月10日をその創立記念日にしている。 (ja)

  • Les Continental Marines étaient l'infanterie de marine des Treize colonies durant la guerre d'indépendance américaine. Ce corps fut créé par le Congrès continental le 10 novembre 1775 et fut dissous en 1783. Ses missions étaient multiples mais sa tâche principale était de servir de force de sécurité à bord des navires américains, protégeant le capitaine et ses officiers. Durant les engagements navals, les tireurs de précision étaient positionnés dans les hauts de la mâture pour abattre les officiers adverses, les canonniers et les barreurs. (fr)
  • I Continental Marines furono il corpo di fanteria di marina delle Tredici colonie prima e dei neonati Stati Uniti d'America poi, creato espressamente nel novembre 1775 per prendere parte alla guerra d'indipendenza americana. Come gran parte delle forze armate americane, il corpo fu sciolto nell'aprile 1783 dopo la cessazione delle ostilità; il moderno United States Marine Corps, creato nel 1798, si considera comunque in continuità storica con i Continental Marines e celebra come sua data di fondazione il 10 novembre 1775.
