==== Marine fusiliers ====
From 1 August 2022, in order to eliminate the [[Coastal defence and fortification|coastal and port defense]] gap and perform other functions assigned to the [[marines]], the Naval Forces Port and Coastal Defense Service was established and partially formed by merging the [[Bomb disposal|Explosive Ordnance Disposal]] (EOD) Divers Team and the Naval Forces Logistics Service Security Company into one structure, which includes two infantry ([[fusilier]]) companies. In the process of forming the unit's traditions, the soldiers serving in the unit began to be called marine [[fusilier]]s ([[Marines|marine infantry]]), and the service itself is unofficially called the Fusilier Battalion.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-18 |title=Kuršių neriją gins fuzilieriai |url=https://ve.lt/gyvenimas/kursiu-nerija-gins-fuzilieriai |access-date=2025-03-13 |website=ve.lt |language=lt}}</ref>

In April 2025, the Navy announced that the marine unit would be officially renamed the General Kazimieras Nestoras Sapiega Fusiliers Battalion and would continue the traditions of the 7th Fusiliers Regiment.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Facebook |url=https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1108003074702145&set=a.630409705794820 |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=www.facebook.com}}</ref>
