  • The Marine Raiders are special operations forces originally established by the United States Marine Corps during World War II to conduct amphibious light infantry warfare. "Edson's" Raiders of 1st Marine Raider Battalion and "Carlson's" Raiders of 2nd Marine Raider Battalion are said to have been the first United States special operations forces to form and see combat during World War II. Despite the original intent for Raiders to serve in a special operations capacity, most combat operations saw the Raiders employed as conventional infantry. This, combined with the resentment within the rest of the Marine Corps that the Raiders were an "elite force within an elite force", led to the original Raider units being disbanded. Four Raider battalions served operationally but all were disbanded on 8 January 1944, when the Marine Corps made the doctrinal decision that the Raiders had outlived their original mission. The changing nature of the war in the Pacific, with many large-scale amphibious assaults to come against well-defended islands, negated the requirements for small light units that could strike deep into enemy territory. On 1 February 1944, the 1st Raider Regiment was redesignated the 4th Marine Regiment, thus assuming the lineage of the regiment that had garrisoned Shanghai in the interwar years and fought gallantly on Bataan and Corregidor. The 1st, 3rd, and 4th Raider Battalions became respectively the 1st, 3rd, and 2nd Battalions of the 4th Marines. The 2nd Raider Battalion filled out the regimental weapons company. Personnel in the Raider Training Center transferred to the newly formed 5th Marine Division. Leavened with new men, the 4th Marines went on to earn additional distinctions in the assaults on Guam and Okinawa. At the close of the war, the regiment joined the occupation forces in Japan and participated in the release from POW compounds of the remaining members of the old 4th Marines. In 2014, the Marine Special Operations Regiment, serving under the United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), was renamed the Marine Raider Regiment. This change was implemented as homage to the World War II Raiders. Marine special operators of the Marine Raider Regiment are once again called "Marine Raiders". (en)
  • Les Marine Raiders formaient une branche d'infanterie légère de l'United States Marine Corps, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, hautement entraînée et spécialisée à mener des opérations derrière les lignes ennemies, particulièrement à bord de canots pneumatiques. Ils sont généralement considérés comme étant les premières forces spéciales des États-Unis. Ils formèrent d'abord un bataillon créé en février 1942, puis dès mars 1943 un régiment qui fut finalement dissout en février 1944. Le recrutement s'opérait par le biais de Marines volontaires et triés sur le volet. (fr)
  • I Marine Raiders sono forze per operazioni speciali originariamente istituite dall'United States Marine Corps durante il periodo della seconda guerra mondiale per condurre assalti di fanteria leggera anfibia, e ripristinate nel 2006. (it)
  • Os Marine Raiders foram uma força de elite do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos Estados Unidos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Foi criada como uma unidade especial de infantaria leve para guerra anfíbia, usando especialmente barcos infláveis e operavam atrás das linhas inimigas. Os Raiders de "Edson" eram o 1º Batalhão enquanto os Raiders de "Carlson" eram o 2º Batalhão. Contudo, apesar da intenção inicial de usar os Raiders apenas para operações especiais, a maioria de suas missões foram servir como infantaria convencional. Isso, combinado com o ressentimento do resto do corpo de fuzileiros navais a respeito dos Raiders serem "uma força de elite dentro de uma força de elite", levou ao eventual abandono do experimento. No total, quatro batalhões Raiders serviram na Segunda Guerra, mas foram todos dispensados em 8 de janeiro de 1944 após o comando dos fuzileiros acreditar que os Raiders haviam vivido além do necessário. A mudança da natureza da Guerra do Pacífico, com muitos maciços desembarques anfíbios contra praias bem defendidas, negou a necessidade de mandar uma unidade leve bem atrás das linhas do inimigo. Em 1 de fevereiro de 1944, o 1º Batalhão Raider foi fundido com o 4º Regimento convencional de fuzileiros. O 1º, 3º e 4º Batalhão Raider eventualmente se tornaram o 1º, 3º e 2º batalhões do 4º Regimento de fuzileiros. O pessoal do campo de treinamento dos Raiders foram transferidos para a 5ª Divisão de fuzileiros. Com o fim da guerra, eles participaram da ocupação do Japão. Em 2014, o Marine Special Operations Regiment ("Regimento de Operações Especiais de Fuzileiros"), servindo sob o Comando de Forças especiais dos Fuzileiros (MARSOC), foi renomeado Marine Raider Regiment.
