The 12 coolest and best jobs in the Marine Corps (according to Marines)
When most people think of Marines they picture an infantry Marine holding a rifle, but the Marine Corps has a whole lot more to offer than just infantry jobs.
With more than 180 military occupational specialties, the Marine Corps offers everything from aviation to intelligence to special operations.
With so many jobs to choose from, potential recruits can be overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Getting advice from former Marines on the coolest or best jobs in the Marines can be difficult or even misleading because the terms “best” and “cool” are highly subjective.
The list below will cover a wide range of cool jobs in different fields within the Marine Corps ― brought to you by the Marine veterans of MarineApproved.com.

Combat Engineer (1371)
What they do: The easier question to answer is, “What don’t they do?”
Combat engineers often are considered jacks-of-all-trades, but specializing in explosives utilization and recovery as well as construction and destruction of structures.
Engineers are problem-solvers, but don’t let society’s depiction of a nerd with a calculator and pocket protector fool you. Combat engineers often are fighting on the front lines with infantry counterparts.
A busy day in the life of a combat engineer might include building a bunker, making and placing breaching charges, clearing an enemy house, sweeping for improvised explosive devices, designing and implementing defense in depth (creating multiple layers of obstacles to protect a base/fighting position) and building bridges.
Combat engineers often will attend advanced schools, such as Sapper School, which teach advanced tactics used in special operations forces units, making them highly trained warriors.
How to become one: This job is not for the faint of heart. Named one of the world’s toughest schools by the Marine Corps, combat engineers must be intellectually and physically able to adapt to any battlefield challenge.
Becoming a combat engineer is pretty straightforward.
First, you must score high enough on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, to meet the minimum requirements. You must have decent math skills as well as show mechanical aptitude. If you want to be sure you are focusing on the right areas to succeed on the ASVAB, talk to a recruiter and let them know you want to be a 1371.
As long as your ASVAB is high enough, a recruiter should put you in a combat engineer slot. You will then go to boot camp, Marine Combat Training and finally engineer school.
Job outlook after the military: Engineers have one of the best job outlooks once phasing back into civilian life. Being trained in so many multifaceted areas opens the door for jobs in a wide range of fields: construction, FBI bomb squad, weapon manufacturing/testing, just to name a few.
When coupling combat engineer experience with a college degree in an engineering field, you can frame yourself in a position to be highly sought after.
In any case, the government and government contractors often offer the best job opportunities.
The Corps says it only has 150 sergeants and below holding the coveted 0317 scout sniper job field. (Cpl. April L. Price/Marine Corps)
Scout Sniper (0317)
What they do: Marine scout snipers are renowned as some of the best snipers in the world due to their extensive training in observation, fieldcraft and long-range precision shooting.
Marine snipers are the eyes and ears of the battalion commander. They often are the first to be sent in behind enemy lines to scout enemy encampments, movements, weapons systems, route selections, etc. They then pass this intel back their command to be implemented into the battle plan.
Although scout snipers are best known for the ability to engage targets while remaining nearly invisible, this is actually only about 10 percent of the job. That said, scout snipers do get an unparalleled amount of trigger time.
How to become one: First, you need to be an 03XX, meaning you have to join the infantry. Then, whenever the scout sniper platoon is low on people, they will hold a “tryout,” known as a “screener” or “indoc,” which you can volunteer for.
It’s usually two weeks of hell that the volunteers, known as slugs (Slow Lazy Untrained Grunts), are put through. After the screener, if the senior scout snipers believe you are one of the top infantry marines above your peers, you’ll be selected and graduate to become a PIG (Professionally instructed gunman).
Normally, after one deployment with the sniper platoon, or about a year of intense training, the senior scout snipers may notice you have potential to do great as a sniper, and you might get sent to scout sniper school where you might become a HOG (hunter of gunmen). I say might because there’s about a 33 percent chance of passing scout sniper school, even after all of the previous selections and rigorous training.
Job outlook after the military: There are many great job opportunities for scout snipers. Marine snipers get secret security clearances which aid in getting government jobs. Scout snipers are rare and the training opportunities in the Corps can relate well to civilian life.
The intelligence field, tactical environments, weapons training, are all good opportunities that a scout sniper’s skill set may transfer to.

Dog Handler (5812)
What they do: You and your furry battle buddy will be tasked with a large assortment of missions across the globe but in all reality, most of these tasks will include something to do with the detection of munitions, explosive devices or illegal narcotics. Many of our brave servicemen and women have been saved by a military working dog alerting the squad to the presence of IEDs.
Of course, there may be other roles you and your canine may assume such as the detection of living humans in destroyed buildings, aiding in the clearance and security of a suspected room or space, or using your canine as a weapon of self-defense against an assailant.
How to become one: You might be surprised to find out that this position is among some of the most competitive and difficult to get (not including special operations forces roles). Positions are limited and even if you meet all of the requirements, you may be beat out by others that exceed your scores. Dog handlers are chosen by their display of leadership and ability to make extremely fast but accurate decisions in stressful environments.
If you think you’re a fine specimen of exemplary Marine behavior and performance and you choose the route of the 5812 you’ll need to attend and perform exceptionally well in the military working dog basic handler courses you’ll be enduring at the Army’s Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Selection is rigorous so it’s best to far exceed physical requirements and to study up before heading out for the course. Of course, you cannot have allergies to dogs and you must have an immune system capable of fighting off zoonotic infections associated with canines.
Job outlook after the military: The obvious path here would be to take on a federal or local law enforcement role as a canine handler. Many of the police we see today handling a canine for law enforcement purposes or those working in TSA to detect bomb threats were once handlers in the military. The military is arguably one of the best training opportunities for this path and as such, many of the most respected and high performing dog handlers on the civilian side got their start as a 5812.
You can also become part of the future of this program by becoming a trainer. Not all dog handler trainers are active-duty Marines and oftentimes the government may contract out talented but retired dog handlers to return and help train both dogs and dog handlers. This applies to law enforcement and even private dog training businesses as well.

Rifleman (0311)
What they do: There is a saying in the Marines that every Marine is a rifleman, and while it is true that every Marine does have basic infantry skills, not every Marine is an infantry rifleman.
Infantry riflemen are highly trained in infantry skills including combat marksmanship, patrolling, land navigation, the use of grenades and shoulder-fired rockets, etc.
The title “infantry rifleman” is one of the most respected in the Corps, and you could make the argument that every other job exists to support them. Without a doubt, Marine rifleman are the foundation of the Marine Corps. They have a tough job and the scope of their mission can include everything from engaging enemies in close quarters combat situations to delivering humanitarian aid.
Marine riflemen know they have a tough job and they take a lot of pride in that, as they should.
They have a proud tradition of being at the forefront of so many important battles and volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way for their country.
How to become one: To become a Marine rifleman you must sign a 0311 or 03XX contract. With an 0311 contract, your path to becoming a rifleman is set. If you sign a 03XX contract, it is not guaranteed that you will become a rifleman, but you will most likely have the option to select rifleman as your primary MOS at the School of Infantry. With an 03XX contract, you’ll likely also have the option to choose between other infantry jobs as well including machine gunner, mortar Marine, and tow missile gunner.
Job outlook after the military: Although there is a joke among infantry Marines that the only skill they have that transfers to the civilian world is how to live without a home, Marine riflemen actually learn a lot of skills that are desirable to future employers.
Marine riflemen are given a large amount of responsibility and often are responsible for tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear.
They also work well in teams and learn outstanding leadership skills while in the Corps. Marine riflemen learn how to take initiative, overcome any obstacle, and deal with stress in a high paced environment.
Having Marine Corps infantry on a resume can look good to employers, especially those in law enforcement and defense. Many riflemen also opt to go to college after serving their time in the Corps.

Recon Marine (0321)
What they do: Recon Marines are highly trained infantry Marines capable of operating independently behind enemy lines. They are tasked with the assignment of providing commanders with information on their area of operation.
Recon Marines gather intelligence and paint a picture of what the battlefield looks like.
They conduct land reconnaissance, amphibious reconnaissance, boat operations and small unit raids. Once someone qualifies as a recon Marine they likely will have the opportunity to attend many other advanced schools including Marine scout sniper training, Army airborne school, Army pathfinder course and many other others.
How to become one: Your best chance at becoming a recon Marine is to enlist in the Marine Corps with a UZ contract. With this contract, you are guaranteed at least a shot at becoming a recon Marine. There are also some physical and mental requirements including a GT score of 105 or higher on the ASVAB, no moral waivers, no drug waivers, no colorblindness, and eyesight that is correctable to 20/20.
After completion of boot camp and SOI, Marines with a UZ contract will attend the Basic Reconnaissance Course and if they complete the course they will be assigned the primary MOS of 0321. If at any point in the process a Marine fails to meet the standards to become a recon Marine, their UZ contract is modified to UH, which is essentially a basic infantry contract.
Marines who attend SOI may get the chance to volunteer for a recon screener, and if higher up deems them fit, they may get a chance at attending becoming a recon Marine.
Job outlook after the military: Employers are always looking for dedicated employees that can think on their feet, and recon Marines certainly fit that bill. Along with leaving the military with many advanced technical skills, recon Marines also get a secret clearance that is enticing to many potential employers.
Robots are already part of the everyday function of the military. The Department of Defense’s new roadmap sketches out a future where the drones are ubiquitous. (Devin Nichols, Marine Corps)
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (2336)
What they do: This is one job that your parents certainly won’t be happy if you choose, but is extremely important and respected within the Corps.
An explosive ordnance disposal, or EOD, specialist will respond, analyze and neutralize threats caused by explosive devices, chemical threats, biological weapons and radioactive pollutants.
This will require the mastery and use of many different pieces of advanced technology such as the bomb diffusing and environmental testing robot called Mini-Andros. Chemicals and technologies that are being used as weapons are constantly adapting and being updated, meaning an EOD Marine must continue to learn and be aware of new technologies in their space.
A successful EOD Marine will spend a majority of their time training and adapting more so than cutting the right wire at the last second. This MOS is not for the faint of heart and this is easily one of the most stressful jobs in the Corps. It takes a special kind of person to choose EOD, but we’re all thankful for them!
How to become one: The path to becoming a 2336 EOD Marine is a rather long one compared to most jobs. Applying to EOD must take place only after serving in the Marines until you have achieved the rank of a corporal.
Once you’ve attained the rank of an E-4, you will be screened in a face-to-face interview by a senior EOD official.
Once deemed capable and worthy of the EOD program, a Marine must achieve top tier physical fitness scores as well as top tier ASVAB scoring. Just having decent scores may qualify you but becoming an EOD can be competitive with many Marines falling short despite meeting the minimum physical and Intellectual requirements.
Once your transfer into EOD is accepted you are immediately removed from your unit and re-tasked into a live EOD unit where you will take on a sort of internship role under senior EOD members. This will be your life until a spot becomes open in the 143 day Naval School for Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Even after passing EOD schooling, you will be subject to annual testing and screening to ensure your skills are not only maintained but sharpened and relevant from studying and further EOD related education.
Job outlook after the military: Just like the Marines need disposal of explosive or toxic ordinances, the FBI and many law enforcement agencies also need similar skills and experiences.
Those that retire from the Marine Corps as an EOD specialist often tend to end up in some facet of law enforcement or first response where they continue to sharpen and use their skills to ensure the safety of their teammates.
Outside of the obvious government contracting work where EODs are in high demand, there are actually private companies that specialize in the removal of dangerous substances and/or explosives. These companies are called Unexploded Ordnance management firms and often tend to pay experienced EODs very handsomely as they send you around the world to secure dangerous locations.
A new caliber machine gun under partnered development with both Special Operations Command and the Marine Corps is set to replace the existing M240 machine gun platform for infantry units and, in some cases, the vehicle and aircraft-mounted .50 caliber machine gun. (Pfc. Nathaniel Q. Hamilton/Marine Corps)
Machine Gunner (0331)
What they do: Machine gunners are maybe the proudest MOS within the infantry.
It’s hard to find a former Marine machine gunner that does have the numbers 0331 tattooed down their triceps or across their chest. Machine gunners are highly trained at operating and employing medium and heavy machine guns along with their supporting vehicles. They provide direct fire in support of rifle platoons and companies. While patrolling on foot, machine gunners carry a 7.62 M240 machine gun and while mounted often fire a MK-19 automatic grenade launcher or .50-caliber machine gun.
How to become one: First, you have to sign a 03XX contract, also referred to as an open infantry contract.
After basic training, you’ll be sent to the School of Infantry. During the first half of SOI, everyone learns rifleman skills, but at the halfway point there is what is called “the split.” If you have a GT score of at least 80 on your ASVAB and the combat instructors think you have what it takes to become a machine gunner, you’ll likely get a shot. If you’re a big guy that’s capable of carrying a lot of weight, you’re more likely to be selected as a machine gunner.
If you’re a squared away Marine and stand out in terms of physical fitness, the machine gun combat instructors will likely ask you if you’re interested in becoming a machine gunner.
Job outlook after the military: Machine gunners are known for being mentally tough and being willing to carry more than their share of the weight. This transfers well into the civilian world and the values instilled into them while in the Corps is often more than enough to separate them from other candidates applying for the same position. Many machine gunners choose to attend college after leaving the Corps.
Special Operations Capabilities Specialists assigned to 3rd Marine Raider Support Battalion, Marine Forces Special Operations Command, conduct frontal assault training on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Jan 28. (Sgt. Jonathon Wiederhold/Marine Corps)
Marine Raiders (0372)
What they do: We’ve already talked about recon Marines, but what many people don’t know is that there is another elite unit within the Marine Corps known as Marine Raiders.
Marine Raiders serve under Marine Special Operations Command, or MARSOC, and are USSOCOM’S newest special operations forces unit with a proud history going all the way back to World War II. Marine Raiders have a similar skill set as recon Marines, but an entirely different mission. Recon Marines are tasked with battlespace shaping in support of a Marine Expeditionary Force, while Marine Raiders are tasked with supporting the government’s internal security, counterterrorism operations, counter-drug operations, counterinsurgency operations, direct action missions, and more.
How to become one: Marine Raiders look for skill sets from across the Marine Corps, so they select candidates from a wide range of MOSes, but most are infantry Marines. So, if you want to become a Marine Raider, your best shot is to join the Marines with an infantry contract and stay in great shape and out of trouble. Once enlisted Marines make it to the rank of corporal and officers make it to the rank of first lieutenant they may get a chance to attend a screener course to see if they have what the Marine Raiders are looking for.
Job outlook after the military: Employers in the civilian sector are often eager to hire former special forces operators because they know they’re hiring someone who is squared away and willing to take the initiative. Marine Raiders volunteer for some of the most dangerous and physically demanding jobs in the military.
Pfc. Jeffrey Cabrera, a rifleman with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, participates in Infantry Integration with Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Operations (CI-HUMINT) (TACEX 19.2) at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, March 21, 2019. (Lance Cpl. Alexa Hernandez/Marine Corps)
Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Specialist (0211)
What they do: Counterintelligence is a role that is constantly advancing and morphing into what’s necessary as technology, warfare and our political climate changes. For the Marines, a counterintelligence specialist focuses on organizing efforts from many intelligence assets that may be outside of the Marine Corps as well as obtaining and piecing together vital information for investigative and national defense purposes.
Just a few examples of situations you’d be focusing on is treason, espionage, terrorism, fraud and political unrest. The HUMINT aspect really focuses on the extraction of information from humans of interest. This would include organizing and managing data sources, contacts, lines of communication and anticipation of movement and action regarding activity that would be of interest to national defense. Often, a human intelligence specialist is tasked with obtaining and providing vital information that other military or governmental operations may depend on. Plan on being deployed to remote areas of the world for unspecified amounts of time!
How to become one: This particular role is very precarious as it’s requirements shift and evolve very rapidly. There are two “categories” of requirements. First, the basic requirements to get your foot in the door.
Once you choose this MOS, you’d have to laterally transfer from another MOS after turning 21 years old, obtaining a 110 GT or higher, having a minimum of 36 months left of active duty, obtain and maintain a top-secret security clearance eligibility, and achieving the rank of corporal or sergeant.
Once you meet these requirements and have requested a lateral move you will then face multiple interviews and screenings conducted by the board of CI/HUMINT. If your screening goes well you will then be subject to a very extensive polygraph (lie detector test). After passing screening and security protocols you will then be subject to the Defense Language Aptitude Battery testing where you will undergo linguistic training and eventually take the Defense Language Proficiency Test with a score of 2/2 or higher.
After all of that, you have one hoop left to jump before entering (0211) which is the MAGTF CI/HUMINT training course and Nelson-Denney examination offered at the Navy Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center (NMITC) out of Dam Neck, Virginia.
The second set of requirements is that you are constantly studying and learning about various organizations, people of interest, threats and various other facets of your position. This position requires a lot of hands-on personal communication with contacts that you must attain a viable and professional relationship with.
As new threats emerge such as organized terrorist groups, you must adapt and conform to new information quickly to remain relevant to the operation. A lot of your time is going to include studying, learning, and memorizing new information that generally tends to change rapidly.
Job outlook after the military: As the skills you learn and the experiences you endure during your time as a (0211) will vary greatly, the likelihood of you becoming at least bilingual is very high. During your training, you will likely choose or be tasked to become fluent in another language and as such, your fluency in another language alone may be enough to land you a job across many different sectors of industry. A good example of a job you could take is an interpreter.
If linguistics isn’t your cup of tea, no worries, as your training has given you many other skills that make you valuable to law enforcement, security and private military entities. A very popular avenue after the Marine Corps for an 0211 is to move on into an analyst role for the federal government.
Agencies that seem to benefit from the skills you would acquire during your stint as an 0211 are the Department of Homeland Security, CIA, FBI and the NSA.
There are many avenues you could choose to take after leaving the Marine Corps but so long as you maintain your security clearances, you could earn far above the median wage for an American with many retired 0211 Marines operating in the private or even federal sectors earning six-figure incomes.

Parachute Rigger Marines (0451)
What they do: Looking for a guaranteed way to jump out of aircraft and get your jump wings? Parachute riggers get to do just that. This is easily one of the coolest jobs in the Marine Corps, but it is often overlooked because people just assume they only repack parachutes all day every day.
In reality, parachute riggers have an extremely important job and some of the most highly trained Marines trust them with their lives.
Parachute riggers are air delivery specialists that are trained to perform parachute drop operations of both gear and personnel. Essentially, they are in charge of all the safety equipment involved in airborne and airdrop operations. They often serve as supervisors and help pick which drop and landing zones would be best. Parachute riggers support the preparation and execution of airborne operations and their job is far from lackluster.
How to become one: To become a parachute rigger you must have a GT score of 100 or higher. There are some also unique qualifications a Marine must go through before they can call themselves a parachute rigger. They first have to pass the U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test, which most Marines won’t have any trouble with. One key component of this Army Physical Fitness Test that many Marines are not used to is the timed pushups portion.
After passing this test Marines must also prove they are strong swimmers by undergoing multiple swim qualifications that include crossing deep water for 40 meters while carrying all their gear and a weapon. They will then have to simulate an abandon ship technique by undergoing multiple exercises that involve jumping into deep water from various heights carrying full gear and their weapon. They must also a buddy rescue swim using the collar tow for 25 meters with a simulated passive victim along with two packs and weapons secured to them.
After that Marines will have to complete the Basic Airborne Course BAC at the U.S. Army Infantry School in Ft. Benning, Georgia. This is a three-week course where Marines undergo the Army fitness test and get basic instruction on jumping on static line jumping from fixed-wing aircraft. The last step to becoming a parachute rigger is to attend the Parachute Riggers Course in Ft. Lee, Virginia.
Job outlook after the military: It’s no secret that not every business is looking for someone with a skill set that revolves around flinging themselves out of planes but the skills you do have are quite niche and being specialized in them has some distinct advantages.
Obviously you’ll have a wide array of skills when it comes to fixing, rigging, inspecting and maintaining parachutes alongside other equipment in the parachuting industry meaning you would be especially valuable to companies that offer parachuting lessons and recreational parachuting.
Aside from that you may find employment in air based logistics where you would be load planning and conducting general air cargo management.

Artillery (0800)
What they do: As you might have guessed, Marines in the artillery field generally use explosive ordnance to suppress, support or eliminate enemy targets.
Keep in mind that there are many roles you’ll find within the artillery field. Some Marines within the artillery field may be tasked with reporting weather and environmental information to fireteams or leadership, while others may be tasked with spotting and locating the position of enemy artillery fire or aiding in the positioning, movement and strategy to avoid enemy artillery of troops in the field.
There is a very wide array of positions and skills to learn in this sector of the Marine Corps, and while most Marines in this field won’t actually be doing the firing, they still play a vital role in the overall mission of the artillery unit.
How to become one: There are a number of MOSes within the artillery field including (0811) field artillery cannoneer, 0814 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, 0842 artillery radar operators, 0844 artillery fire control, and 0847 artillery meteorology, and more.
As there are so many unique roles, your training and path will be quite different depending on what specific MOS you hold within the artillery field. High skills in math, management, teamwork, precise communication are all vital to artillery personnel. If you want a job within the artillery field, your best bet is to speak with a recruiter about the specific MOS you’re most interested in.
Job outlook after the military: The job outlook is going to depend a lot on what MOS you held within the artillery field.
The job outlooks aren’t as direct or transferable as some fields in the Marines, but the skills you learn should benefit you in a very wide array of applications from the federal level into civilian life.

Information Assurance Technician and Cyber Warfare (0689)
What they do: Information assurance technicians originally started out with the direct purpose of ensuring the security and confidentiality of communications within military and government applications. The position has slowly morphed into more of a cybersecurity role as the threat of online and digital attacks rises with furthering technology.
A PMOS cybersecurity technician is tasked with securing all digital information and ensuring proper authentication protocols are met and consistently updated.
Your role inside this PMOS may vary as there are many facets of securing digital data, however, most cybersecurity specialists will take on a somewhat advisory role putting them into direct communication with commanding officers and advising them on what assets need further security and what new facets of cybersecurity need addressing. You may enjoy working in a fast-paced team-based environment but you also may find yourself enduring tasks that require you to problem solve, analyze and research independently.
As you advance through your training and take on a cybersecurity position, cyber warfare becomes an avenue open to you once you achieve the rank of sergeant. Cyber warfare and cyberspace command is an entire entity inside of the Marine Corps tasked with ensuring the protection of U.S. information and digital assets from attack, compromise, and intrusion from enemy forces. Cyber warfare is very selective and very competitive to gain a position inside of but very rewarding both financially and by building skills you can use in the private sector.
How to become one: First and foremost you must begin your path as a Marine in the following MOS: network specialist (0656), data specialist (0651) or data chief (0659).
After obtaining the rank of sergeant, you’ll partake in the Information Assurance Managers Course and the Cyber Security Chiefs Course, and the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School in 29 Palms, California. Although the Marine Corps will train you sufficiently to do your job, cyberspace is a constantly changing environment that may merit retraining or new training tactics that you need to remain up to date with.
After graduating from the aforementioned training courses you will be required to have at minimum two years remaining on your active duty contract and you must possess a GT score of 110 or better.
Of course, you couldn’t handle and maintain the military’s confidential data and its security without high levels of security clearances. First, you must be eligible for sensitive compartmented information and then you must acquire and remain eligible for a top secret security clearance.
Job outlook after the military: Becoming a Marine Corps cyber security technician is arguably one of the best routes into a high paying and highly rewarding public or private sector career path. A study found that the outlook of public and private sector data security positions is projected to grow by over 30 percent in the next few years which is a projection that far exceeds job growth from most other sectors. There are projected to be many open jobs for those of you with the skills and training of a Cyber Security Technician and as more companies look to online communications and cloud-based information storage, your role is projected to remain relevant and in demand for many years to come.
The median pay for cyber/data security technician is estimated to be in the ballpark of $90,000 yearly, putting cybersecurity technician as one of the most valuable pieces of training and skill sets to be garnered from the Marine Corps and then translated into the civilian world. Taking on a data management role could garner up to an average of $120,000 yearly.

What Marine Engineers and Naval Architects Do
About this section
Marine engineers and naval architects may work directly on ships.
Marine engineers and naval architects design, build, and maintain ships, from aircraft carriers to submarines and from sailboats to tankers.
Marine engineers are also known as marine design engineers or marine mechanical engineers and are responsible for the internal systems of a ship, such as the propulsion, electrical, refrigeration, and steering systems. Naval architects are responsible for the ship design, including the form, structure, and stability of hulls.
Duties
Marine engineers typically do the following:
- Prepare system layouts and detailed drawings and schematics
- Inspect marine equipment and machinery, and draw up work requests and job specifications
- Conduct environmental, operational, or performance tests on marine machinery and equipment
- Design and oversee the testing, installation, and repair of marine equipment
- Investigate and test machinery and equipment to ensure compliance with standards
- Coordinate activities with regulatory bodies to ensure that repairs and alterations are done safely and at minimal cost
- Prepare technical reports for use by engineers, managers, or sales personnel
- Prepare cost estimates, contract specifications, and design and construction schedules
- Maintain contact with contractors to make sure that the work is being done correctly, on schedule, and within budget
Naval architects typically do the following:
- Study design proposals and specifications to establish basic characteristics of a ship, such as its size, weight, and speed
- Develop sectional and waterline curves of the ship’s hull to establish the center of gravity, the ideal hull form, and data on buoyancy and stability
- Design entire ship hulls and superstructures, following safety and regulatory standards
- Design the complete layout of ships’ interiors, including spaces for machinery and auxiliary equipment, passenger compartments, cargo space, ladder wells, and elevators
- Confer with marine engineers to design the layout of boiler room equipment, heating and ventilation systems, refrigeration equipment, electrical distribution systems, safety systems, steering systems, and propulsion machinery
- Lead teams from a variety of specialties to oversee building and testing prototypes
- Evaluate how ships perform during trials, both in the dock and at sea, and change designs as needed to make sure that national and international standards are met
Marine engineers and naval architects apply knowledge from a range of engineering fields to the entire water vehicles’ design and production processes.
Marine engineers also design and maintain offshore oil rigs and may work on alternative energy projects, such as wind turbines located offshore and tidal power.
Marine engineers and naval architects who work for ship and boat building firms design large ships, such as passenger ships and cargo ships, as well as small craft, such as inflatable boats and rowboats. Those who work in the federal government may design or test the designs of ships or systems for the Army, Navy, or Coast Guard.
Marine engineers should not be confused with ship engineers, who operate or supervise the operation of the machinery on a ship. For more information on ship engineers, see the profile on water transportation workers.
Marine engineers and naval architects design and oversee testing, installation, and repair of marine apparatus and equipment.
Marine engineers and naval architects held about 7,600 jobs in 2021.
The largest employers of marine engineers and naval architects were as follows:
| Professional, scientific, and technical services | 36% |
| Federal government, excluding postal service | 16 |
| Water transportation | 5 |
Marine engineers and naval architects typically work in offices, where they have access to computer software and other tools necessary for analyzing projects and designing solutions. Sometimes, they must go to sea to test or maintain the ships that they have designed or built.
Marine engineers and naval architects who work on power generation projects, such as offshore wind turbines and tidal power, work along the coast—both offshore and on land. They also sometimes work on oil rigs, where they oversee the repair or maintenance of systems that they may have designed.
Naval architects often lead teams to create feasible designs, and they must effectively use the skills that each person brings to the design process.
Work Schedules
Most marine engineers and naval architects work full time and some work more than 40 hours per week. Marine engineers who work at sea will work a schedule tied to the operations of their particular ship. Those who work onshore will have somewhat more regular work schedules. Naval architects, and marine engineers who are engaged primarily in design, are much more likely to work a regular schedule in an office or at a shipyard.
How to Become a Marine Engineer or Naval Architect About this section
Marine engineers and naval architects must give clear instructions and explain complex concepts when leading projects.
Marine engineers and naval architects typically need a bachelor’s degree in marine engineering and naval architecture, respectively, or a related field, such as engineering.
Some marine engineering and naval architecture programs are offered at state maritime academies.
Education
High school students interested in becoming a marine engineer or naval architect should take classes in math, such as algebra, trigonometry, and calculus; and science, such as chemistry and physics. If available, drafting courses may be helpful for aspiring naval architects.
College students interested in this occupation typically pursue a degree in an engineering field. Programs in marine engineering and naval architecture usually include courses in computer-aided design, fluid mechanics, ship hull strength, and mechanics of materials. Most programs also include time at sea, during which students gain hands-on experience on a vessel.
Some marine engineering and naval architecture programs are offered at state maritime academies. Students studying at the maritime academies spend time at sea, usually during the summer, to gain onboard operating experience.
For more information about state maritime academies, visit the Maritime Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Employers may prefer to hire candidates who graduate from a program accredited by a professional association such as ABET.
Important Qualities
Communication skills. Marine engineers and naval architects must give clear instructions and explain complex concepts when leading projects.
Ingenuity. Marine engineers and naval architects must use operations analysis to create a design to perform the ship’s functions. They then employ critical-thinking skills to anticipate and correct any deficiencies before the ship is built or set to sea.
Interpersonal skills. Marine engineers and naval architects meet with clients to analyze their needs for ship systems. Engineers must discuss progress with clients to keep redesign options open before the project is too far along.
Math skills. Marine engineers and naval architects use the principles of calculus, trigonometry, and other advanced topics in math for analysis, design, and troubleshooting in their work.
Problem-solving skills. Marine engineers must design several systems that work well together in ships. Naval architects and marine engineers are expected to solve problems for their clients. They must draw on their knowledge and experience to make effective decisions.
Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations
Along with earning a bachelor’s degree, students at states’ maritime academies take exams for licensure from the U.S. Coast Guard.
Another type of engineering license is the Professional Engineering (PE) license, which allows for higher levels of leadership and independence and can be acquired later in one’s career. Licensed engineers are called professional engineers (PEs). A PE can oversee the work of other engineers, sign off on projects, and provide services directly to the public.
State licensure generally requires
- A degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program
- A passing score on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
- Relevant work experience, typically at least 4 years
- A passing score on the Professional Engineering (PE) exam
The initial FE exam can be taken after earning a bachelor’s degree. Engineers who pass this exam are commonly called engineers in training (EITs) or engineer interns (EIs). After meeting work experience requirements, EITs and EIs can take the second exam, called the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE).
Other experience
Employers also value practical experience, so cooperative education programs and internships, which provide college credit or structured job experience, can be helpful in getting a job in this occupation.
Advancement
Beginning marine engineers usually work under the supervision of experienced engineers.
In larger companies, new engineers also may receive formal training in classrooms or seminars. As beginning engineers gain knowledge and experience, they move on to more difficult projects, on which they have greater independence to develop designs, solve problems, and make decisions.
Eventually, marine engineers may advance to become technical specialists or to supervise a team of engineers and technicians. Some may even become engineering managers or move into other managerial positions or sales work. In sales, an engineering background enables them to discuss technical aspects of certain kinds of engineering projects. Such knowledge is also useful in assisting clients in project planning, installation, and use. For more information, see the profiles on architectural and engineering managers and sales managers.

Naval engineers: why a new regiment was formed in the Pacific | Articles
The Ministry of Defense formed a naval engineer regiment in the Pacific Ocean. According to Izvestia’s sources in the military department, the new unit has already received all the necessary equipment for arranging a berth anywhere on the coast. If necessary, this part will create temporary bases for ships or ensure the actions of the Marine Corps. Marine engineers will be able to quickly deploy entire naval bases both in the Far East and, if necessary, away from their native shores, experts say.
From the time of the USSR
The tasks of a separate marine engineering regiment, which appeared as part of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet), include the rapid equipment of berths and infrastructure for servicing ships, Izvestia’s sources in the military department specified. Naval military engineers will be able to operate at any point – for example, during expeditionary operations or landings. In the future, it is planned to form several more similar units, the interlocutors of the editorial office said.
At the beginning of any large-scale hostilities, naval bases are the first to be attacked by the enemy – in such a situation, it is important to quickly disperse ships, submarines and ships in bays, military expert Dmitry Boltenkov told Izvestia.

“Marine engineers will have to equip such places with all the infrastructure necessary for ships,” he explained. – First of all, build berths. And besides, to provide the ships with electricity, steam and water from the shore, to build storage facilities for ammunition, buildings for the recreation of personnel. If necessary, it is necessary to lay roads along which it would be possible to bring everything necessary to the ships: from ammunition to food.
The new engineering regiment will most likely be responsible for creating such infrastructure in Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, the expert suggested.
— The region is sparsely populated — there are enough places where even the largest ships of the Pacific Fleet can be hidden, — he noted.
Such engineering formations already existed in the Navy during the Soviet era, and several Far Eastern bays were prepared for the relocation of fleet forces in the event of an aggravation of the international situation, recalled Dmitry Boltenkov.
From Defense to Emergencies
The new regiment will seriously expand the capabilities of Pacific Fleet engineers. Now the Pacific Fleet has the 186th Separate Naval Engineering Battalion. It is based in the village of Razdolnoye, Primorsky Krai. Its soldiers and officers are trained to interact with the marines. The personnel of the unit is responsible for demining or mining sections of the coast, buildings and technical structures during landings or defensive operations.

In peacetime, soldiers and officers of the battalion are engaged in energy and water supply. During floods on the Amur River, they provided the local population with clean drinking water. The battalion also took part in a military-historical expedition to the island of Matua in the Kuril chain. During the expedition, they explored more than 100 fortifications.
The military engineers of the battalion participated more than once in the elimination of the consequences of typhoons in the territory of the region, worked in Primorye, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk Territory in detecting explosive objects. In Primorsky Krai alone, several hundred shells, mines or bombs from the Great Patriotic War are found every year.
Off distant shores
The marine engineers of the new regiment will also be indispensable for peacekeeping missions far from Russian shores. They will have to equip the parking places for ships – first of all, build berths. In this case, special attention should be paid to the ground infrastructure. For example, far from their permanent home bases, it is important for seafarers to provide a good rest on land – to equip canteens, sports facilities and leisure facilities.
In the course of amphibious operations, marine engineers will also have to deal with the clearance of terrain, buildings and structures. And if necessary, by laying mines and erecting fortifications on the captured bridgeheads.

The work of naval engineers must ensure rapid advance during an attack or, if the situation develops according to an unfavorable scenario, the stability of the defense of the landing forces. Such support is especially important for the marines, with whom naval engineers often operate in the same battle formations, said Dmitry Boltenkov.
It is known that to solve such a wide range of tasks, the most diverse equipment is already in service with engineering units – powerful mobile power plants, mobile filter stations, cranes, mine sweeps, excavators, drilling rigs and earthmoving machines, as well as tugboats and diving equipment .
Also, the newest special vehicle for the demining group (SAGR) based on the UAZ-2363 pickup truck was handed over to the Pacific. The car has an armored body-capsule, and inside the luggage compartment there are containers for transporting explosives, racks for explosive items and much more.
Information from Izvestia
In the Navy of the USSR, and then in Russia, marine engineers worked closely with detachments of floating moorings. The personnel of such formations assembled moorings from separate pontoons, which are connected to each other and the shore by special bridges – any cargo can be delivered to the ships through them. Also, communications were laid in the pontoons, through which electricity, drinking and domestic water, and even steam could be supplied to ships and ships.
As a rule, floating berths were used in remote regions of the country – on the Kola Peninsula or Kamchatka. In the event of the outbreak of hostilities, it was supposed to create temporary bases from them, where ships, ships and submarines were to be located and conduct combat operations secretly for the enemy. In peacetime, the berths were effectively used to create and supply various infrastructure facilities in the difficult conditions of the Arctic.
In 2009, such units of the Navy were disbanded, but the experience was not forgotten. One detachment was recently recreated in the Northern Fleet. It is armed with berths of project 16181, which provide full-fledged basing of ships and vessels with a displacement of up to 25 thousand tons. For comparison: the surface displacement of the newest multi-purpose submarine of project 885 Yasen is 8600 tons, the strategic missile carrier of project 955 Borey is about 15 thousand tons, and the project 22350 frigate – less than 5.5 thousand tons. Military engineers will bring all the necessary communications to it and establish coastal infrastructure.
On Navy Day, a marine sapper talks about his service during the second Chechen campaign | Stories
Ilya Batalov – Marine. During the second Chechen campaign, he served in Dagestan.
On the eve of Navy Day, Ilya spoke about the years of service.
Ilya was born in Serov in December 1984. Studied at school number 15. In 2000, after graduating from the 9th grade, he entered school No. 62, where he studied as an assistant locomotive driver. In 2003, after graduating from a technical school, he was drafted into the armed forces – he left the army on December 12, 2003.
The first six months of the service were held in the training unit, which was located in Volzhsky, near Volgograd. There, Ilya received his first military specialty – a UR-77 driver.
– “UR” – demining installation. “77” – model 1977. This installation makes passages of a certain width and depth in minefields – so that equipment can pass, – explains Ilya Batalov .
After training, Ilya was sent to Dagestan, to Kaspiysk, where the 77th Separate Guards Marine Corps Brigade was located. There they spent the remaining year and a half of service.
– When the letter arrived from the North Caucasus, the reaction was probably at home – with parents, relatives. And I didn’t have any reaction to the place of service, , the man notes.
In Kaspiysk, Ilya was assigned to an engineer-landing company. In total, the brigade had about one and a half dozen different units.
– In the company I met fellow countrymen from the Sverdlovsk region, with whom we were together at the assembly point in Yegorshino. They were guys from all over the area. There were three in our company. The brigade was large – 3.5 thousand people, constantly collided with fellow countrymen in the canteen, on the line. It was nice that there were a lot of countrymen, – says Ilya.
Second specialty – sapper
Already in Kaspiysk, Ilya received a second military specialty – a sapper.
– Worked as a driver for some time. Initially attached to the demining installation. He received a second military profession – a sapper. He served in the barrier platoon, – Ilya recalls. – The brigade I got into was formed in 1999, when the Second Chechen campaign began and militants from the highlands of Chechnya went to Dagestan. A brigade was hastily formed, equipment was brought from all over the country – both from the east and from the north. The brigade was fighting. From 1999 to the autumn of 2004, she fought. She started on the territory of Dagestan, and when the militants were driven back, she continued in the Chechen Republic.
The task of the airborne engineering company, in which Ilya served, was to neutralize the laid mines. The unit performed this task both during the participation of the brigade in hostilities, and when it returned to the place of deployment.
– Early in the morning, when the brigade was still sleeping, an engineering reconnaissance was assigned. There were two directions for its implementation. We had scouts with us. Sappers, mine detectors, we had four mine-detecting dogs in our unit – three Labradors and a shepherd dog. They checked the roads for the presence of abandoned “surprises”, because the region was still quite restless at that time. It was a daily job, – recalls Ilya Batalov .
In films telling about the war, one can often observe scenes when a sapper is busy clearing mines from a live projectile. In real life, most often, the discovered mines were controlled undermined.
– They were always destroyed on the spot, at least if the mine was not in a residential area, – notes Ilya. – Tried not to risk anyone’s life. It was easier to install a saber on a mine and blow it up. Unfortunately, there were some dead, but it was not with me, a little earlier. The guys died on the territory of the Chechen Republic, during mine clearance. There were booby traps. They cleared the main shell, and there were more under it … Therefore, it is better to detonate the shell on the spot so as not to fall into a trap.
“The fighter must get used to the shots”
In addition to daily work, exercises were held in the brigade. They tried to bring them as close as possible to the conditions of real hostilities.
– There were often great exercises. Both brigade and company. We fired not only at targets during firing, but also during the practice of some tactical actions. We were given blank cartridges. A fighter must get used to shots, explosions, so that later he does not get lost when a real situation arises, – says Ilya Batalov .
The 77th Separate Guards Marine Brigade had air cushion landing ships. There were three types of them – large, medium and small landing ships.
– Large landing ship – “Dzheyran”, medium – “Kalmar”. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name of the small one, – says Ilya, talking about the teachings. – First there was loading on the ship, not only infantry, but also equipment was loaded. The large landing craft included two tanks, or four units of lighter armored vehicles. After that, the landing ship goes to sea for a certain distance. After that, the Jeyran comes ashore, the air quickly leaves the pillow, the ramp descends (platform for lifting and lowering equipment – approx. “Globus”), first comes the equipment, then the infantry. After disembarking, the airbag is refilled with air and the ship leaves. Such landings were quite frequent.
During the landings, the command tried to bring the conditions closer to combat, they even simulated shelling.
– From time to time, guided mines were placed at the landing site in advance – they are safe, they only raise the ground. This was again done so that the soldier would get used to combat conditions. These mines were controlled from a distance. The man who was sitting at the button, watched the landing, saw where the infantry was and undermined the charges – says Ilya. – This service was memorable because no one was lying on the beds.
“We felt like universal soldiers”
In addition to the daily work performed by the airborne engineering company, as well as exercises, Ilya Batalov remembered physical training.
– Thanks to our officers, some of them are still serving, we probably felt like universal soldiers – we constantly ran, jumped, fired, underwent physical, fire, combat training. We felt that we can do everything, – Ilya smiles. – Our officer always said: “Our reconnaissance battalion and airborne engineering company will always be the best.” We were always offended when we ran for exercises or a march. Because the main part of the brigade ran light, and our company is always in body armor, with machine guns. This is how endurance is developed.
More than fifteen years have passed since the demobilization. But Ilya Batalov still remembers exercises. If you want to feel like a marine, at least in part, try it again.
– Officers were constantly present at the exercises. Charges were quite tough. First cross – 3 kilometers. Then they walked a certain distance in single file. After – “carrying the wounded.” The circle of the parade ground was 300 meters. You take a comrade, throw it on yourself, and run the circle in this way, then change. Then hand-to-hand training, push-ups. After that, they ran from the parade ground to the sports town, there were pull-ups, abs. Then they walked a certain distance in the “crocodile” position – they got up at point-blank range, bent their arms, and walked in this position. And in the end – a hundred meters. There have always been such exercises, – says Ilya Batalov .
“We are still in touch”
During his service with local residents, according to Ilya, he did not have much contact. On the other hand, relations with local residents from among the colleagues of the Serovite were excellent.
– Somehow I didn’t have to deal with civilian local residents, only if in shops, at the post office or telegraph. There were no cell phones before. Until the very demobilization, and I quit in 2005, we wrote and waited for letters. Phones then only began to appear. If we talk about local contractors and conscripts, then we had excellent relations with them, – Ilya recalls smiling.
Ilya still communicates with many colleagues. With the advent of instant messengers, this has become quite simple. Ilya was the initiator of the creation of a chat of colleagues in WhatsApp.
– Regardless of whether Orthodox or Muslim, we still communicate. We congratulate each other on the holidays – we are with Muslims, they are with Orthodox. We constantly communicate, – admits Ilya Batalov . – The last time I went on vacation by train, this was before the pandemic, across the country. The conductor says: “Why are you met at almost every station?” At stations where there were long stops of 20, 30, 40 minutes, I was met by colleagues. And it’s very nice. And now, in the same Kaspiysk, they are waiting for a visit. We were going last year, but the pandemic intervened.
Ilya says that he had no desire to stay to serve under the contract. At least immediately after military service.
– There was no desire to stay under the contract then – two years have passed, you need to go home: they are waiting at home, there are more prospects at home. But time has passed. And sometimes nostalgia hits. The thought flashes – maybe it would be better to stay? You don’t know how things would have turned out…
Family, work, “Sea Brotherhood”
Ilya retired from the army in the fall of 2005 – he took a vacation with subsequent dismissal. I was home on November 2nd.
After resting for a month and a half, after the New Year holidays, he got a job in his own specialty. And to this day he continues to work in this profession, but already as a freight driver.
In 2008 he met his future wife – Ulyana . In 2010, the first child was born – son Artem . In 2016, a daughter was born – Sofia .
Ilya Batalov is actively involved in social work, being the chairman of the Serov Association of Navy Veterans. His family actively supports him in this work.
– I want to say a big thank you to my wife, she supports me in all our activities. Since 2015 we have “Marine Brotherhood”. We gather together on the Day of the submarine fleet, and on the Day of the Navy, the Day of the Marine Corps. We are engaged in patriotic education – we go to schools, courtyard clubs, – tells Ilya Batalov . – The younger generation is our future. From childhood I was taught to respect people, respect adults. Plus, when we come to children, we try to talk about historical events. People should not forget their history, they should know about the exploits of our guys. There are guys like that in Serov too. Makarov Vitaliy Ivanovich Served on the landing ship Zubr. And when the Chechen war began, together with his comrades, he volunteered to be recruited into the marines. Unfortunately, he died. We will definitely tell about such guys so that they know at least about our fellow countrymen. Children also go with me with pleasure to meetings with schoolchildren. My daughter recently started walking, he is still small, and my son is already 11 years old. He is always with me at events. I think it’s good for him too.
Navy Day is celebrated in Russia annually, on the last Sunday of July. In 2021, the holiday fell on July 25th. Ilya Batalov , Chairman of the Serov Association of Veterans of the Navy, congratulates all those involved on the holiday:
– In the Serov city district, over 600 people who served in the Navy – submariners, sailors of surface ships, naval aviation, marines and land units of the Navy. All of them are directly related to the navy. Navy Day is our common holiday. Congratulations to everyone, regardless of age. I wish you optimism so that vivid memories and impressions from the service remain for many years to come. Of course, good health and well-being in families.

MOSCOW, December 1, – RIA Novosti, Andrey Stanavov. The lightning-fast capture of an island occupied by the enemy, the capture of a mined and thorny coastline, or the defeat of a naval base – these non-trivial tasks are often only possible for marines to quickly and efficiently solve. On Friday, the Marine Corps units of the Russian Pacific Fleet began large-scale training with shooting at the firing ranges of Primorye and Kamchatka. About a thousand servicemen and one and a half hundred pieces of equipment have already been deployed there. About how exactly this branch of coastal troops operates in a real battle with the enemy – in the material of RIA Novosti.
November 27, 2017, 08:00
“Black Death”: the most striking operations of the Russian Marines
Covertly approach, disembark quickly and hold out until the main forces approach. Here are, perhaps, three basic principles of the strategy of the Marines. Failure at any of the stages is fraught with the failure of the entire operation. Over the 300 years of its existence, the Russian marines have undergone many reforms. Today, these units are among the most trained and combat-ready not only in the Navy, but also in the Russian Armed Forces as a whole.

former commander of the air assault battalion of marines, Hero of Russia Colonel Viktor Vdovkin. — This has happened more than once, including in the 1960s and 1990s. Marines have always been considered offensive troops. They regularly meet with a potential enemy on the borders , fight in hot spots. At the same time, according to statistics, there are minimal losses in the Marine Corps when compared with other branches of the military. ”

The main secret of the high combat effectiveness of the Marines is a clear coordination of work. Roughly speaking, this is a compact and well-armed “army in the army”, capable of instantly turning around on the first command and inflicting a crushing defeat even on significantly superior enemy forces. In fact, these are the only troops in the Russian Armed Forces capable of landing both from the sea and from the air.

“The Marine Corps is beautiful because diverse forces are united under one command, into a single fist,” Vdovkin told RIA Novosti, who happened to command a marine unit during the first Chechen campaign. – She has everything of her own – tanks, artillery, scouts, paratroopers, infantry that lands from the sea. Brigade commanders work out the full interaction of all forces and means during exercises, they know how to quickly control fire artillery, tanks and assault groups”.
Water strike
Since the Great Patriotic War, the tactics of the Marines have changed markedly. With the advent of multi-channel communication and command and control systems, high-speed amphibious combat armored vehicles and new types of weapons, they have learned to act even more rapidly and in a coordinated manner, and the power of strikes has increased significantly.
When conducting an amphibious naval operation, as a rule, combat swimmers of amphibious engineering companies are the first to land, who clear the bottom, coastal waters and the landing strip from barbed wire and other dangerous obstacles, lay corridors in minefields. Then the coast is massively “worked out” by naval artillery and naval bomber aircraft. Strikes by cruise missiles are inflicted on previously reconnoitered firing points.

Artillery preparations are immediately followed by airborne assault units and reconnaissance troops being sent into the zone of the second echelon of enemy defense. They are a kind of analogue of the Airborne Forces in the Marine Corps. The main task of these fighters is to quickly cut off the rear communications of the enemy from the front line, “crush” the positions of artillerymen and rocketeers, destroy command posts and headquarters, thereby leaving the enemy’s front line without control and communications. To achieve an even greater effect of surprise, an assault “parachuteless” method of landing is practiced – from helicopters flying at a height of two meters. The next and final stage of the operation is the landing of the main forces of the amphibious assault from approaching ships, which are concentrated in a “strike fist”, break through the enemy’s first defense lines, expand the bridgehead and securely entrench.

The Marine Corps is armed with new and modernized military equipment, including amphibious infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-3) and landing (BMD-4), armored personnel carriers BTR-82A. It is expected that in the future the infantrymen will be armed with a new generation of Boomerang armored personnel carriers, which develop a speed of 12 kilometers per hour on water.

Expert: Large landing ship “Pyotr Morgunov” will significantly strengthen the capabilities of the Russian NavyThe large landing ship “Pyotr Morgunov” will be launched in the summer. Military expert Dmitry Litovkin, on the air of Sputnik radio, noted the role of Project 11711 ships in supporting expeditionary missions.
Large and small landing ships, including the Zubr hovercraft, are used to deliver personnel and equipment to the landing zone. This week, tests of a new-generation landing ship, the Ivan Gren large landing ship of project 11711, began in the Baltic, which provides the so-called non-contact unloading of troops and equipment onto an unequipped coast using pontoons. The ship can carry up to 300 marines, 36 armored personnel carriers or 13 tanks. An amphibious transport helicopter is based on board. The second BDK of this project “Pyotr Morgunov” is being completed.
Obviously, in the context of the rapidly changing global geopolitical situation, the Russian Ministry of Defense pays special attention to the rearmament of marine units. It is possible that in the future it is the Marines who will become the basis of powerful airmobile formations protecting the interests of the country in the most difficult strategic regions, including the Arctic.

Marines will get new ships // Nezavisimaya Gazeta

Universal landing ships will significantly increase the mobility of units of constant combat readiness. Photo from www.mil.ru
This year, during the Main Naval Parade, for the first time, special honors will be given to black berets. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, said, “it is planned to pass a group of ships with the banners of the famous marines, who heroically defended and liberated Leningrad, Sevastopol and Novorossiysk during the war years.” Since 2017, when the first Main Naval Parade was held in St. Petersburg, boats with banners of ship and submarine brigades and divisions that distinguished themselves in battles have traditionally passed along the Neva. The Marine Corps was represented only by a ground exposition of modern weapons and military equipment.
Also last week, it became known that the Ministry of Defense had already begun to develop an organizational and staffing structure for the crews of Project 23900 universal landing ships. The latter are often called Russian Mistrals.
We dance from the ship
The construction of landing ships is taking place against the background of the reform of units and formations of the Marine Corps. In recent years, new units have been formed in brigades and regiments of the marine corps, and re-equipment with modern models of weapons and military equipment is underway.
Until recently, the main workhorses of the Marines were the large landing ships of Project 775. Therefore, the organizational and staffing structure of the units and formations of the Marine Corps was largely tailored precisely to the characteristics and capabilities of these BDKs.
But now the fleet of Russian landing ships is changing radically. In particular, the first landing ship “Ivan Gren” has already entered the fleet. It was built according to project 11711. The second in this series, the Pyotr Morgunov large landing craft is currently being tested. It is possible that he will take part in the current Main Naval Parade.
In the spring of last year, two more landing ships were laid down. But they will already be completed according to the updated project. According to the head of the United Shipbuilding Corporation Alexei Rakhmanov, the total displacement of the ships will be increased to 8,000 tons, and the design of the superstructures of the ships will also change.
Helicopters, boats and tanks
Now the Russian Navy has five brigades and one regiment. There is one connection each in the Northern, Black Sea and Baltic fleets. But in the Pacific Ocean, two brigades of marines (ObrMP) are deployed at once. One regiment of black berets belongs to the Caspian military flotilla. Also in Temryuk, a separate 382nd marine battalion is deployed, which is subordinate to the 810th MP brigade. But this military unit has a special status – sometimes it is called peacekeeping.
The reform of units and formations of the Marine Corps began in 2017. Then, as an experiment, the 40th Marine Corps (based in Kamchatka) included a tank company on T-80BV combat vehicles. As Rear Admiral Sergey Lipilin, commander of the troops and forces in the north-east of Russia, said, “T-80BV tanks were delivered to the marine brigade to increase firepower.”
In September 2019, the second Pacific Brigade, the 155th Marine Corps, also received tanks. She was also given T-80BV tanks. As stated in the Ministry of Defense, “the vehicles arrived in Vladivostok by rail in accordance with the plan for re-equipping units of the coastal troops of the Navy with modern models of military equipment.”
Also, reconnaissance and airborne battalions, electronic warfare companies, as well as separate companies of airborne assault vehicles were formed in all marine brigades.
In the future, each brigade will have one air assault battalion, two or three battalions of marines. Strengthens the command of the Navy and reconnaissance marines. Separate reconnaissance and airborne battalions are already being formed in regiments and brigades. Each reconnaissance battalion is two ordinary reconnaissance, as well as one reconnaissance and airborne (sometimes referred to in documents as a “special purpose company”) company.
True, the formation of new units and subunits is still proceeding unevenly. So, in June of this year, the commander of the troops and forces in the northeast, Rear Admiral Alexander Yuldashev, in his interview, said that “an electronic warfare company has been formed in the marine corps brigade, and the acquisition of a company of landing craft is being completed.” But the tank company, according to the commander, has not yet become a battalion.
Unfortunately, the situation with the tanks of the black berets is still quite tense. For example, at present, there are already tank battalions in the 61st (Northern Fleet) and 155th (Pacific Fleet) brigades of the Marine Corps. At the same time, the 810th (Black Sea Fleet) and 336th brigades (Baltic Fleet) have not yet received their armor. Most likely, the Baltic and Black Sea marines will receive not the “reactive” T-80BV, but the simpler T-72B3 / B3M.
Engineer-Diving Special Forces
Another interesting unit in the Marine Brigade was the company of landing craft. Despite their rather prosaic name, these units are among the most important in modern units and formations of the Marine Corps. Sometimes they are jokingly called “engineering diving special forces.”
The company consists of several platoons of airborne assault vehicles equipped with PTS amphibious transporters, as well as a special diving detachment. More recently, landing boat detachments have also appeared in the companies. The task of the PTS crews is to deliver personnel, cargo, as well as non-floating equipment (cars, engineering vehicles, etc.) to the shore under fire.
Company landing boats must, under enemy fire, throw forward detachments of marines ashore before disembarking. And also to evacuate the wounded from armored vehicles knocked out afloat. But the divers of the company face the most difficult task. They carry out reconnaissance of sections of the coast in advance – even before the landing, study the hydrological and hydrographic conditions.
Troopers strike from beyond the horizon
The current organizational and staffing structure allows the formation of separate tactical groups based on marine battalions. The latter is reinforced by artillery batteries, a detachment of landing craft, as well as air defense systems and anti-tank systems.
Since last year, such BTGs of the Marine Corps have been actively participating in the exercises. According to the Russian military department, in September 2019, “two battalion tactical groups of the marines of the Caspian flotilla marched to the area of the Dalniy combined-arms training ground in Dagestan in order to conduct bilateral battalion tactical exercises.”
Formally, the tactical and technical characteristics of the latest UDC have not yet been disclosed. According to known data, it can carry up to a thousand black berets and up to 75 pieces of equipment. The air group of the “Russian Mistral” is theoretically defined as 20 Ka-29 helicopters, Ka-52K and Ka-27.
It turns out that one UDC can take on board and ensure the landing of one battalion tactical group of marines. At the same time, the landing ship’s air group makes it possible to land in full force and support a battalion air assault company at a time.
Unlike the Project 23900 UDC, large landing ships of the Ivan Grenn type cannot boast of such a spaciousness. On board they can accommodate no more than 300 marines and about 40 units of various equipment (armored personnel carriers, cars, self-propelled gun mounts, air defense systems).
But even in this case, the new organizational-staff organization of the Marine Corps brigades makes it possible to find the optimal solution. A company tactical group is being formed on the basis of a marine battalion. It consists of a company of marines, anti-tank units, one or two air assault platoons, as well as an artillery fire platoon.
The actions of RTU are already being actively practiced by black berets. In February of this year, according to the Ministry of Defense, in the Caspian Sea, “military personnel as part of a company tactical group made a march in a combined way on cars and armored vehicles from a point of permanent deployment to areas of concentration. During the exercise, the military personnel of the Marine Regiment will have to capture the command post of a mock enemy, provide antiamphibious defense of a section of the sea coast, and also perform a ship-to-shore landing using BTR-82M armored personnel carriers.
It was smooth on paper
Meanwhile, there are also serious problems that have yet to be solved. The main one is the lack of full-fledged landing craft in the Russian Navy that could be placed in the dock chambers of Project 23900 ships. This imposes serious restrictions on the capabilities of black berets.
It is worth recalling that universal landing ships are designed for over-the-horizon landings. UDC are located at a distance of tens of kilometers from the coast, and the Marines land using helicopters, as well as heavy amphibious armored personnel carriers and landing craft.
It is little known that when concluding a contract for the purchase of Mistrals, the Russian side was also considering the purchase of French L-CAT water-cutting landing craft. The parties did not officially announce the sale of L-CAT. But in 2015, by the time the ship was handed over to Russia, the manufacturing company Socarenam managed to build and test two new boats.
So far, the Russian Navy has only Project 1170 Chamois landing craft. But their release was discontinued in 2010. And during the test, it became known that, due to the design features of the Chamois, they cannot be located in the docking chambers of universal landing ships.
No less difficult is the situation with armored personnel carriers for over-the-horizon landings. The capabilities of the main combat vehicle of the Marine Corps, the armored personnel carrier BTR-82, do not allow swimming a distance of tens of kilometers, especially in difficult weather conditions.
Since 2012, several times there have been reports of the start of work on some promising combat vehicle for the marines. In terms of dimensions, it was supposed to be comparable to the American AAVP-7 amphibious armored personnel carriers. At the beginning of this year, regular work began on the creation of a new promising family of combat vehicles for the Marine Corps. It is planned that it will include an armored personnel carrier, a transport vehicle, a vehicle and a fire support system.
In the case of “Ivn Gren” new equipment is not required. The characteristics of the ship allow you to come close to the shore. This means that it will be possible to land on conventional BTR-82s.
Perspectives and weapons
So, how will the marines operate with the advent of new ships? Project 1171 BDKs are best suited for the classic Russian marines’ actions – landings from the sea on the flanks to support the offensive / defense of land groups. In this case, battalions and companies of marines will be landed from ships, and their counterparts from air assault battalions and companies will operate from land airfields.
In this case, the Marine Corps brigade will be able to effectively land and defeat the enemy. Firstly, due to the presence of reconnaissance and airborne companies, the command will be able to advance behind enemy lines in the landing areas of the reconnaissance group. Scouts will be able to effectively direct strikes by aviation, artillery and Caliber, Bal, Yakhont or Iskander missiles. In turn, the divers of the landing craft companies will conduct reconnaissance of the coast, eliminate obstacles and mines.
Secondly, the air assault battalion, as well as the air assault companies of the marine battalions, will be able to effectively isolate the landing sites and prevent enemy reinforcements from approaching. Thirdly, the T-72B3/B3M and T-80BVM tank battalions will seriously increase the firepower of the black berets right at the moment of landing.
Also, the marines will be able to act independently, carrying out raid operations on the coast of the enemy. To do this, they can place landing boats from the landing craft company on board the BDK. The raiders will be supported from the air by helicopters deployed aboard the landing ship. In this case, there is no need to capture sections of the coast – it is enough to inflict a lightning strike on the headquarters, air defense positions, warehouses, and then quickly leave.
But the commissioning of project 23900 universal landing ships will require additional reorganization of brigades and regiments of the Marine Corps. We can offer such an option – one of the brigade / regimental battalions of the marines will be completely re-equipped with promising heavy combat vehicles. This military unit will work only from the board of promising UDCs. Also, part of the artillery units, air defense units, communications and electronic warfare units will undergo rearmament.

The training of military personnel is closely connected with the development of the Soviet Armed Forces in the prewar years. The outbreak of the Great Patriotic War required a radical restructuring of the system of training command personnel in military schools. New programs were introduced, designed to train commanders of a certain profile. They provided for a significant reduction in the number of subjects and an increase in the working day to 10-12 hours for cadets, which made it possible to drastically reduce the duration of training.
By order of the Commander of the Far Eastern Front dated December 16, 1941, refresher courses for infantry commanders were created at the school to train company commanders and platoon commanders with a two-month training period.
In 1956, the school switched to training with a single profile – the training of rifle platoon commanders.
From the 1968 – 1969 academic year, in accordance with the decision of the government and the order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR, the school changes the profile of training command personnel: starting from the first year, it began training officers with a higher engineering education. Upon graduation, graduates receive an all-Union diploma – an engineer for the operation of wheeled and tracked vehicles.
Since 1994, the school has been training officers on educational programs of higher professional education in the specialty: “Multipurpose tracked and wheeled vehicles”, qualification “Engineer” with a training period of 5 years.
Since 2002, the school has been training cadets in the specialty “Personnel Management”, qualification “Manager” in military specializations – “Use of motorized rifle units”, “Use of marine units”, “Use of motorized rifle units (mountain)” with a training period of 4 years . Graduates are awarded the military rank – “lieutenant”. They are appointed to primary officer positions in the Ground Forces and other branches of the Armed Forces.
Since 2010, the school has been recruiting and training citizens under a program with secondary vocational education with secondary military special training in the following specialties:
- military – “Use of motorized rifle (tank) units”;
- civil – “Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles.” Qualification of the specialist – “Technician”.
Training of foreign military specialists is carried out in the following specialties:
“Use of motorized rifle units”, “Use of tank units”, “Use of military intelligence units”.
From September 1, 2012, the school switched to training in HPE programs for the 3rd generation of GEF.
As part of the program for the professional retraining of servicemen dismissed from military service throughout the Far East region, the school carried out 51 graduations in full-time and part-time education in the specialties “personnel management” in 2009-2018 for more than 6,000 people.
The school trains military personnel for the national armies. Cadets and students from more than 40 countries were trained in higher professional education programs and course programs for specialists.
Over the past five years, the teaching staff of the school has completed 7 components of complex research work of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, more than 60 research works – on their own initiative, received 14 patents for inventions, 5 certificates of state registration of computer programs, 253 rationalization proposals were registered, 34 monographs, 9 textbooks and more than 350 teaching aids were published. The school employs 11 doctors of science, more than 150 candidates of science and associate professors.
The command and teaching staff constantly takes part in the exercises “WEST”, “EAST”, the joint Russian-Mongolian anti-terrorist exercises “SELENGA”, the Russian-Chinese exercises “PEACE MISSION”, the Russian-Indian exercises “INDRA”.
From 1940 to 2018, the school produced 107 graduations (more than 27,000 officers were trained). More than one hundred and twenty graduates of the school have become prominent military leaders with military ranks from major general to army general.
Currently, the school trains officers with higher professional education and ensigns under the program of secondary vocational education. The main military specialty is “The use of motorized rifle units.” Graduates – motorized riflemen, due to their high military professional training, fortitude, ability to act confidently in any climatic conditions, are in demand not only in the Ground Forces, but also in other types and branches of the military;
Specialization “Application of Marine Corps Units”. Marines perform military service in units and formations (units) of the Marine Corps, conscientiously fulfill their military duty and currently form the backbone of the command staff of the Marine Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. They repeatedly participated in long-distance sea voyages around Europe, to the shores of South Korea, and ensured the safety of maritime navigation in the Gulf of Aden.
Today DVOKU is a military educational institution in Russia, which trains cadets in the specializations “Use of motorized rifle units (mountain)” in order to recruit mountain brigades with officers with special training. Future officers undergo mountaineering training in the camps “Bezengi”, “Dzhantugan”, “Ullu-tau”, “Terskol”, in the Eastern Sayan and the “Daryal” training ground. We visited with a friendly visit the mountainous parts of India, the mining schools of Germany and Switzerland. More than 200 “Alpinist of Russia” badges, more than 350 sportsmen and mountain training instructors have been trained.
Since 2013, the school staff has begun training officers in the specialization “Use of motorized rifle units (arctic)”. Working groups for the preparation of the Arctic units participated in exercises in the formations of the Northern Fleet, studied the conditions of service and life in the Arctic on Kotelny Island and in the village of Tiksi.
Thanks to the close-knit team of the management and command and teaching staff of the school, future officers master modern military scientific knowledge, skills and abilities that they need to successfully complete their service, win international military and sports competitions, olympiads, competitions, and exercises.
DVOKU is highly respected by residents of the Amur Region and other regions of the Far Eastern Federal District, who are confident that the school staff will always come to the rescue, as happened during the liquidation of the consequences of the flood in the Amur Region in 2013, as well as in the implementation of state and special tasks in January-February 2019, where within a month a group of military personnel from the school transported more than 250 tons of explosives on snowmobiles during the aftermath of a landslide on the Bureya River and, not by chance, the number of applicants wishing to become cadets of our school annually in several times exceeds the possibilities of an educational institution in terms of their recruitment. The competition for admission to the college for higher education in 2016, 2017, 2018 ranged from 3 to 8 people per place.
Over the past three years, teams from the school team have successfully performed during the All-Army competitions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the International Army Games – in six out of 22 areas. biathlon”, “Military intelligence”, “Elbrus ring”. The DVOKU teams, following the results of the All-Army competitions, became part of the national teams of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and took first places, beating in a fair fight a total of more than 15 countries of the world, winning the main cups in three competitions of the International Army Games – “Seaborne Assault”, “Suvorov Onslaught” and “Sniper Line”.
In May 2018, on the basis of the DVOKU training ground, the All-Army competitions – 2018 in field training among motorized rifle and tank units “Suvorov Onslaught” and “Tank Biathlon” were held, as a result of which, all the crews who competed from the DVOKU on the BMP-2 were selected in the composition of the national team of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at ARMY-2018, where they also showed their high professional level.
This year, FEOKU has nominated teams to participate in 7 competitions “ArMI-2019”. These are the Suvorov Onslaught, Tank Biathlon, Naval Assault, Excellent Master of Military Intelligence, Elbrus Ring, Sniper Frontier and Falconry.
So, in the competitions of the International Army Games that ended in May – “Suvorov Onslaught” and “Sniper Frontier”, cadets of the Far Eastern Higher Educational Institution won an unconditional victory. At the competitions, cadets get a unique experience, which they bring to their native school.
The command of the school closely cooperates on issues of mobilization work with the government of the region, patriotic education – with state authorities and local governments of the Amur region and the city of Blagoveshchensk, with public organizations, including the newly formed All-Russian public movement “UNARMIA”.
The quality of the educational process is evidenced by the fact that in 2013, at the end of the academic year, the school team took 1st place among the universities of the Ground Forces and has been holding a leading position for the past five years.
