<P> The Eagle , Globe , and Anchor is the official emblem and insignia of the United States Marine Corps . It is commonly referred to as an EGA , although this usage is discouraged by the U.S. Marine Corps . The current emblem traces its roots in the designs and ornaments of the early Continental Marines as well as the United Kingdom 's Royal Marines . The present emblem , adopted in 1955 , differs from the emblem of 1868 only by a change in the eagle . Before that time many devices , ornaments , ribbons , and distinguishing marks followed one another as official badges of the corps . </P>
