Created by Congress on 4 August 1790 at the request of Alexander Hamilton as the “Revenue Marine,” it is the oldest continuous seagoing service of the United States.

By the 1860s the service was known as the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service. The modern Coast Guard was formed from the merger of the Revenue Cutter
Service and the U.S. Life-Saving Service on January 28, 1915 and has been involved in every war from 1790 up to the
Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan.

Little information is available concerning the flags carried initially by the Marines. However, some sources state that the Grand Union Flag was carried ashore during a landing on New Providence Island, 3 March 1776. For almost 150 years the Corps carried a wide array of flags into battle. Corps Order No. 4, dated April 18, 1925, designated the official colors of the Marine Corps to be gold and scarlet. These colors were not reflected in the official Marine Corps flag until January 18
1939, as a new design incorporating the required colors was approved, which was very close in appearance to today’s
Marine Corps flag.
