The Syrian Marines (Arabic: فوج مغاوير البحر, romanizedFaouj Maghawir al-Bahr, lit.'Marines Regiment') was a naval infantry unit part of the Syrian Republican Guard based in the Latakia Governorate. It was a significant participant in Syrian government operations and offensives during the Syrian Civil War in 2016 and 2017.

In February 2016, the Syrian Marines participated in a Latakia offensive alongside Syrian government forces.[2]

In March 2016, a large number of Syrian Marine convoys were deployed to the Battle of Palmyra from northern Latakia.[3]

On 25 November 2016, several units of the SSNP and Syrian marines arrived to Aleppo city in participation of Operation Dawn of Victory. Most of them were redeployed from the Latakia governorate.[4]

On 23 February 2017, al-Masdar News reported that over 900 Syrian Marines had joined the Military Security Shield Forces in order to avoid being drafted into the regular army.[5]
