"What authority does POTUS have specifically over the Marines?" - #14 "Focus on the power of POTUS as it relates to the Marines." - #17 "Can the NG work in coordination w/ the marines? Do conditions need to be satisfied to authorize?" - #22
Code Federal Regulations - Title 32 National Defense - PART 631 - Subpart C: Off-Installation Operations (Military Patrols and Investigative Activities) and Policy These regulations deal with the military and how they assist with law enforcement. Some might say, BuT PosSe CoMiTatUs! Sure, let's look at 18 U.S. Code § 1385 - Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus. It's true that POTUS cannot use the Army or Air Force as posse comitatus without Congressional authorization.
HOWEVER, these restrictions do not apply to the usage of the Navy, and thus not to the usage of the Marines. Have a look at the Marine Corps Policy from the above CFR for details on how the Marines may be used "To assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies within the limits imposed by higher authority and the Posse Comitatus Act," they remain "under the command of their Marine superiors when accompanying civilian police" and they "may come to the aid of civilian police in order to prevent the commission of a felony or injury to a civilian police officer." POTUS can use the Marines to help all non-military police forces to arrest traitors and insurrectionists and doesn't need any permission from Congress.
Yes, the Marines can work in coordination with the NG, and it's possible the NG has already been activated per the Insurrection Act. The conditions have been absolutely been met to justify POTUS using the NG and armed forces to enforce Federal authority. Granted, POTUS does not need any permission from Congress to use any regular military forces for defense against insurrection and rebellion. But those forces cannot be used to make arrests unless authorized by Congress. However, the Marines can make arrests under the authority of POTUS, without being barred by the Posse Comitatus Act. Arrests are the important aspect of this whole thing. Could regular civilian police make such a massive amount of arrests on their own? Are they reliable? Marines seem to be the better option, at least as support.
"What former President used the military to save the republic and what occurred exactly?" - #22
Washington used the military to put down the Whiskey Rebellion, but the more obvious answer would be Lincoln. Without his willingness to use the military to preserve the Union, the Republic may well have been forever sundered as a result of the Rebellion in 1860-1865. What happened? Rogue state officials (governors) and federal officials (Congressmen, judges etc) engaged in organized, mass insurrection and rebellion under illegitimate state "governments" to disregard the authority of the federal government. Sounds a bit similar to what occurred with the recent "elections" in certain states....
The Germans gave us that name!
Why? How did that come about?
Something about fighting harder and being more tenacious than the hounds of hell, if I recall.
I didn't know that the marines fought in the European theatre? I thought they fought the Japanese during WWII.
They were deployed in WW1 in large numbers.

Tuefel Hunden. Kicking ass and taking names at the battle of Belleau Wood in WW I.

One possible source. In WW1 the US marine attacked the germans so ferociously and against such withering defensive fire only to overwhelm with sheer grit, they were dubbed the "Hound of Hell" or "Devil Dogs." The battle is completely well documented as was the response of naming Marines Devil Dogs.
Its being revised by globalist cunts because the idea of heroic national soldiers doing inspiring things is counter to their pathetic ideals that all nations and militaries are evil, and that somehow a fascist banker cabal is the solution to the fake-history they revise as they see fit.
And a fun song about the very topic.

Also very honorable mention from the East is the "Attack of the Dead Men." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_of_the_Dead_Men
There roughly 100 heavily chlorine gassed and dying Russian soldiers, literally coughing up their melted lungs, charged 14 Divisions of Germans and repelled them before falling down dead from the gas. Legend has it the Germans were so absolutely sure the gas had killed or incapacitated every Russian in agonizing suffering, they legit believed the Russians had risen from the dead as vengeful spirits to kill them, and fled in such disorganized terror they killed hundreds of their own. Their sacrifice permitted all the remaining, less wounded Russian Soldiers to retreat from the besieged fortress, destroying it in the process out of pure spite.
Which ALSO has a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AFdwoyNT24
IMO Americans and Russians should be allies. Its why the Globalists fear Trump playing nice with Putin, NOTHING, not even hell itsself could ever stop an American-Russian alliance.
Teuflehunden...German for devil dogs, for the way the Marines fought at Bellow Woods. (drilled into us in boot camp customs & traditions class)
Apologies for misspelling.
Teufel Hunden!
