After the significant draw down of ship numbers in the navy there are several barracks and ports full of Russian Marines who have no more use at sea.
The Tsar wishes to collect these men into a Regiment of Morskaya Pekhota numbering 1,000 men. They will keep their equipment of a naval pattern muskets, cutlass and hand Grenades. But from now on they will train as elite storm troops, best utilised in urban warfare and the capture of entrenched positions.
The Tsar has set aside a princely sum of 10,000 Ducats for the formation of this unit.
