The Mississippi Marine Brigade was a Union Army amphibious unit which included the United States Ram Fleet and operated from November 1862 to August 1864 during the American Civil War. The brigade was established to act swiftly against Confederate forces operating near the Mississippi River and its tributaries. The brigade was commanded by Brigadier General Alfred W. Ellet and operated in coordination with the Mississippi River Squadron during the Union brown-water navy battle against the Confederate River Defense Fleet and land based forces. The brigade was independent of the Union Army and Navy and reported directly to the Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton. Despite the name, it was never part of the United States Marine Corps.

  • La Brigade des Marines du Mississippi est une unité militaire de l'armée de l'Union lors de la guerre de Sécession. Organisée au début de l'année 1863, elle devait permettre de combattre les raids sudistes dans la vallée du Mississippi. Cette brigade se composait de plusieurs compagnies d'infanterie, d'une compagnie de cavalerie et d'une batterie d'artillerie montée. Elle dépendait de l'Armée de Terre et non de la Marine, mais agissait d'une manière très indépendante. Elle était transportée sur des navires, en particulier ceux qui étaient sous le commandement du brigadier-général dont la flotte des navires-béliers des États-Unis. (fr)
