Amphibious Corps (Arab Union)

The Amphibious Corps (Arabic: الفيلق البرمائي al-faylaq al-barmā’ī) is one of four operational corps of the Arab Navy. The Amphibious Corps is analogous to the marines of other naval forces. The Amphibious Corps is thus a force of highly trained light infantry fighters who are both enlisted and commissioned members of the Arab Navy.

Their responsibility is to project infantry power on land by way of the sea; to this end, Amphibious Corps troops are transported by the navy and muster just off the target's coast in staging ships, reaching their target either by sea in dedicated amphibious assault vehicles or by air via Naval Air Corps helicopters; specialised covert forces are inserted underwater via submarine.

Like all corps of the Arab Navy, Amphibious Corps members, including infantry and other land-based fighters, use the navy's own ranking system which differs from that of the Arab Air Force or Arab Army.
