Belgian Marine Infantry
Moto "Courage to The Last"
The Marine Infantry Division (DIVMAR) will be relaunched in 2021. The Marine Infantry has a long tradition within the Navy and also within its reserve. For decades, the security and defense of the Marine installations, together with the provision of the necessary platoons for the Military Defense of the Territory (MVG), have been among the main tasks of the Marine Infantry.
Today there are new challenges, especially within the maritime domain. Hence, the DIVMAR will once again focus on the military security and defense of the Navy's maritime installations and ships.
In addition, she will also be deployed on new, important tasks in support of our operational capacity. In particular, the DIVMAR will also provide support during the military training of personnel and provide armed support to the expeditionary Harbor Protection module and the boarding capacity of our Navy.
Young, sporty profiles with a sense of responsibility and a sense of initiative are sought. Our people have a sense of action and adventure, can handle weapons responsibly and like to work within a strong Corps spirit in which operating in small, close-knit teams is at the core of the Division. The coveted “black beret” is the externalization of this.
