*Actively Recruiting New Members*
History of the United States Marine Corps During the Civil War:
Formed on November 10th, 1775, the Marine Corps has been a driving force for the United States Military, spending most of it's early service on blockade guard duty, shore guard duty, maintaining the United States Navy's port security, and landings and security in foreign and domestic territory where the United States had interest. During the civil war, the United States Marine Corps did much of the same, with one of it's most memorable moments being the assault and capture of New Orleans from the Confederate States of America. During the First Battle of Bull Run, there was a Marine detachment of 348 men that helped protect a battery of Union Artillery. The Marines were credited with brave action throughout the battle but ultimately were forced to retreat, along with the rest of the Union Army. Marines were instrumental in the success of the Anaconda Plan, which was a plan to split the Confederate States of America in half in order to starve them of supplies. During this time, Marines were mainly used to man guns and provide fire support aboard ironclads and other ships while assaulting Confederate positions in harbors and on rivers. During the battle of Drewry's Bluff, Corporal John F. Mackie was aboard a U.S. Navy ship, when guns were knocked out of action and multiple casualties were sustained. During the heavy gunfire from the shores, Cpl. Mackie reinstated the gun into an active state, and aided wounded men, all while returning fire to the Confederate forces. For this, he was the first Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Towards the end of the war, the Marines and U.S. Navy were instrumental in the attack on the last active port for the Confederacy, located near Fort Fisher. Although this was just a diversion for the Union Army, it was still a valiant action of the Marines, with constant waves of men being thrown at the Confederacy, which was instrumental in it's capture. The Confederacy then surrendered at the Appomatox Court House three months later.

We strive to be a serious regiment on the battlefield, but a fun, close-knit community outside of that as well. We are open to recruits from any region and any age.

We Look forward to seeing everyone on the field of battle. Semper Fidelis!
About the Leader:
Hello there, I'm SirBeef. My real name is Aaron, and I'm currently a Corporal enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, stationed in Camp Pendleton, California. I'm an 0627 Satellite Communications Operator, and I've been a part of the community ever since the game originally came out in the late 2000's. I'm committed to having fun in this community, and getting to know everyone. On my off time, I like going to the gym (a lot) and for the most part I'm at work if I'm not partaking in the community. I hope to see everyone around when this game eventually comes out and I wish everyone the best of luck! -SirBeef
