Arstotzkan Marine Corps
The Arstotzkan Marine Corps was one of the youngest branches of the People's Armed Forces of the Arstotzkan Union, then known as the Arstotzkan Union Defense Forces. It is also one of the only branches not to be shutdown in 2020 and when it was established only the National Army was the only other branch. The Marine Corps had shown themselves to be a highly valued asset to the Arstotzkan Union Defense Forces after their use in the Arstotzkan - Confederate War and the subsequent re-unification operation in April 2021.

History
On 6 November 2020, the Arstotzkan Marine Corps was established by First President Ethan Brinkman as a fourth branch of the AUDF, however at that time there was only the National Army as the sole branch. This came after the Military Expenditure Reduction Initiative in 2020.
In 2020, the Marine Corps were announced to be the sole branch responsible for Operation: Foreign Destruction and were also beneficial in the unification of the Arstotzkan Union, for the CDG, following the conclusion of Operation: Foreign Destruction in April 2021.
On 31 October 2021, the Arstotzkan Marine Corps, along with the Arstotzkan Air Force were disbanded during what is known as the Second AUDF Reform Period. A majority of troops and resources were moved to the 2nd Fleet, Arstotzkan Naval Corps or 2nd Army Infantry Regiment, Arstotzkan Army Corps.
