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. The GIM never surpassed the planning stage however, though a MRK officer, Lieutenant (French: ''Lieutenant de vaisseau'') Uon Chum was later sent to French-ruled Algeria in November 1958 to attend the ‘Commando’ course at the French marine commandos’ ''Centre Sirocco'' School (French: ''École des Fusiliers-Marins'') near Algiers. The MRK naval infantry branch was officially established in 1960 but initial progress was slow – it was not until 1965 that a marine rifle company (French: ''Compagnie de Fusiliers-Marins'' or CFM for short) was raised with a strength of just 150 Marines trained and led by Lt. Chum, subsequently enlarged to 200 men by 1969.〔Sutsakhan, ''The Khmer Republic at War and the Final Collapse'' (1980), p. 35.〕 They were never used in their intended amphibious role, being assigned primarily with guarding the MRK headquarters and main naval facilities at Chrui Chhangwar close to Phnom Penh.〔Conboy, ''FANK: A History of the Cambodian Armed Forces, 1970-1975'' (2011), p. 255.〕 Late that same year, the 200-strong CFM was amalgamated with 1,014 ex-Royal Khmer Army troops recently transferred to the MRK to form the nucleus of two new marine rifle battalions (French: ''Bataillons de Fusiliers-Marins'' – BFM). Raised for static defence and designated respectively 1st BFM and 2nd BFM, each battalion had an authorized strength of 607 men. Two further battalions – 3rd BFM and 4th BFM – were in the process of being formed by the time of the change of government in March 1970.
