Cambodian Marine Corps
The Cambodian Marine Corps or Corps de Fusiliers-Marins Khmères (CFMK) in French, were the naval infantry branch of the Khmer National Navy (French: Marine National Khmère – MNK) during the 1970-75 Cambodian Civil War. == History == The origins of the Cambodian Marines can be traced back to December 1955, when the Royal Khmer Navy (French: Marine Royale Khmère – MRK) Fleet Command began drawing plans to raise a Naval Infantry Group (French: Groupement d'Infanterie de Marine – GIM) consisting of two marine commando companies totalling 200 men, envisaged to be used on amphibious operations.
