Marine Corps
A military body in the regular service of the United States, but identified with the Navy. Wilkes v Dinsman (US) 7 How 89, 124, 12 L Ed 618, 634. While the Marine Corps partakes more of a military body than a naval one and is sometimes loosely referred to as the third branch or element of the military establishment, it is a branch of the navy designed to perform military services. United States v Dunn, 120 US 249, 30 L Ed 667, 7 S Ct 507.
