When was the Marine Corps recreated as a separate service?

The Marine Corps was recreated as a separate service in 1798. After its formation in 1775, the Marine Corps experienced various changes in its status and organizational structure, including periods of being disbanded and reestablished. In 1798, the Marine Corps was officially reestablished as a distinct branch of the United States military, separate from the Navy and Army, which allowed it to develop its own unique identity and operational focus. This reestablishment was a significant moment in the history of the Marine Corps, positioning it to fulfill specific roles such as amphibious operations and shipboard security, which have continued to define its role in the U.S. military structure to this day.
