Marines are symbols of steel will, courage and silent sacrifice at the forefront. They not only fight at sea, but are also ready to rush into the most dangerous places - from deep water to hot sandbanks, from wild seas to remote islands. In all circumstances, they always maintain discipline, steadfastness and absolute loyalty to the Fatherland. The courage of marines in harsh training environments requires the will to overcome difficulties and the determination not to retreat in the face of danger. Their faces are soaked with water and sunburnt, deep in their eyes is a burning love for their homeland. They are ready to use their bodies as shields to protect the border, a living fortress at the forefront. Each of their footsteps is imprinted on the Fatherland's sea and sky not only with sweat but also with the faith and sacred honor of marine soldiers.
