Lieutenant Senior Grade Manuel Gomez was its first commandant, with then <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Junior_Grade" class="mw-redirect" title="Lieutenant Junior Grade">Lieutenant Junior Grade</a> Gregorio Lim assisting him, with six other officers (4 seconded from the Navy and two from the <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Army" title="Philippine Army">Philippine Army</a>) joining them, several of these officers being veterans of the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>. </p><p>Their hard work and training would pay off as the Marine Company conducted its first amphibious landing on April 19, 1951, in Umiray, Quezon, and took part in battle for the first time on June 4 of the same year in Nueva Ecija against communist rebels. These and other notable battles in various parts of the country, as well as overseas deployments to Korea, led to the Navy's decision to complete the 1st Marine Battalion with the raising of B Company in 1955 and the Headquarters and Service Company also in the same year, thus the marine battalion of one HQ company and two marine rifle companies, with now LCDR Lim in charge, was finally complete. (November 7, the date of the 1955 formal raising of the 1st Marine Battalion, is the official date of the Corps Birthday to this very day.) </p><p>Further marine companies and a weapons company would later be formed to augment the expansion of the force in the 1960s, and the abilities even expanded to VIP protection, and would also see the raising of its very own <a href="/wiki/Drum_and_bugle_corps_(classic)" title="Drum and bugle corps (classic)">drum and bugle corps</a>. The Marines would see themselves in action in securing the <a href="/wiki/Spratly_Islands" title="Spratly Islands">Spratly Islands</a> in 1971 and in combating Muslim separatist forces and a strong New People's Army in the following years as the force became the Philippine Marine Brigade with the formation of the 2nd and 3rd Marine Battalions, the Headquarters Service Group, the 1st Provisional Tactical Battalion which saw action in Mindanao against Islamic separatists, and the Marine Training Group, later the Philippine Marines Training Group. </p><p>To highlight these changes the force was renamed as the Philippine Marines in 1976. </p><p>As the 1980s arrived, the force expansion was accompanied by battles against both communists and armed Islamist rebels all over the country, and in 1986 even took part in the successful People Power Revolution. The latter years would also see them in action as one <i><a href="/wiki/Coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="Coup d'état">coup d'état</a></i> after another was launched against the Corazon Aquino administration, all ending in failure. It also saw Rodolfo Biazon becoming the first and only Marine Corps general to head the Armed Forces as Chief of Staff after a fruitful term as Superintendent of the Philippine Military Academy, the first and only Marine Corps general officer to occupy the office so far in PMA history.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The 1990s would see further expansion as the force, as part of the Philippine Navy, became the Philippine Marine Corps in 1995 as the force turned 45 years old. The early 2000s (decade) would see the Marine Corps once more facing not just communists and Islamic militants but also terrorist groups as well. </p><p>The Marines were also seen in action in the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Zamboanga_City" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Zamboanga City">Battle of Zamboanga City</a> in 2013 providing amphibious assault and fire-support for the <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Army" title="Philippine Army">Infantry forces</a>.
