The United States maintains diplomatic personnel at different locations, at Embassies located around the world, and the people that provide security for these Embassy locations are the United States Marine Corps. If you have ever viewed an embassy function on television, you have likely viewed the members of the Marine Corps providing their ever present silent security, both at the gates and throughout the Embassy facility.
Where there is a United States State Department Official or Dignitary present, you can be sure that there is a Marine Corps Detachment present to provide protection and security. The United States Marine Corps has a proud tradition, and a code of honor that each and every US Marine is taught and knows by heart.
