Welcome!

The Branch is open to all serving, former Royal Marines and their families and other British Armed Forces. Membership is open to all who have served with the Royal Marines.

Purpose:

• To maintain and promote espirit de corps and comradeship;
• To keep ourselves in touch with one another and the activities of the Corps;
• To support Service charities which benefit Marines, their families and dependants;
• Promote active participation of former members of the USMC in the Quantico Branch activities. Members of the United States Marine Corps League and United States Marine Corps Association are invited to apply for Associate Membership of the Royal Marines Association.

History:

The Royal Marines Association was originally formed in 1946 to foster the strong sense of comradeship, which spans every rank of the Royal Marines from Cadet to retired General. The Association, therefore, provides the backbone of the ‘cradle to the grave’ membership of the Corps Family. Every serving Marine and Reservist is automatically a member through the Corps subscription and many retired Royal Marines join one of the 89 branches located in the United Kingdom or overseas. Today the Association is some 14,000 strong.
