INFANTERÍA DE MARINA CETME OPERATOR T-Shirt

The Spanish Marines (Spanish: Infantería de Marina; lit, Naval infantry) is a corps within the Armada (as it is called the Spanish Navy in Spanish language) responsible for providing amphibious warfare from the sea utilising naval platforms and resources. It is fully integrated into the Armada structure. The Corps was formed in 1537 by Charles I of Spain (also known as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor), making it the oldest marine corps in existence in the world, drawing from the Compañías Viejas del Mar de Nápoles. The CETME Model L was a downsized variant of the CETME system, chambered for the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge. It was adopted by the Spanish Army and Marines in 1984 and was in service until it was replaced by the Heckler and Koch G36 rifle in 1999.
