Equivalent to a full bird Colonel in the US Army.
actually a better question would be what is the marine cores equivalent to the army rangers. the rangers are considered more highly trained and more elite soldiers than the marines (although a marine will tell you other wise). And the marines equivalent would be MARSOC which stands for Marine Special Operations Command.
Estuaries are the most productive of all marine ecosystems.
Apples and oranges. The US Army Rangers and Marine Corps Recon are two very distinct groups with very distinct missions. They cannot be equally compared.
Commander is a rank exclusive to the Navy. It is the equivalent of an Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel (O5). A Navy Captain is equivalent to an Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Colonel (O6), whereas a Captain in the Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps is O3. A Navy Captain outranks a Commander, but a Commander outranks an Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps Captain.
Marine climates are influenced by proximity to large bodies of water, resulting in milder and more stable temperatures throughout the year compared to continental climates. Continental climates experience greater temperature variations between seasons due to their distance from moderating ocean influences. Additionally, marine climates often have higher humidity levels and more consistent precipitation patterns compared to continental climates.
The phrase "Marine" is commonly used as a salt water term; but technically refers to anything living in, on, around, or having anything to do with a body of water.
There isn't one. The Army could compose something similar if need be, but there aren't any regular standing units equivalent to a MEU.
