The 3rd Marine Artillery Regiment (French: 3e Régiment d'Artillerie de Marine, 3e RAMa) is the heir to the 3rd Marine Artillery Regiment created in Rochefort by Napoleon Bonaparte's consular decree of May 13, 1803, the 3rd Colonial Artillery Regiment, then the 3rd Marine Artillery Regiment. The 3e RAMa has been present in either a constituted corps or isolated unit since 1803, on almost all the battlefields in which France has been engaged. The regiment was founded in a third operational phase in 1943.
On May 10, 1940, the 3rd Colonial Infantry Divisionary Regiment was part of the 3rd Colonial Infantry Division.
The 3rd Colonial Division included the 1st Colonial Infantry Regiment 1er RIC, 21st Colonial Infantry Regiment 21e RIC, 23rd Colonial Infantry Regiment (French: , 23e R.I.C), the 3rd Colonial Artillery Regiment 3e RAC, 203rd Colonial Artillery Regiment 203e RAC. The 3rd Colonial Infantry Divion disappeared.
Reconstituted progressively from individuals rallying to général de Gaulle since August 1940, the regiment participated to operations of column Leclerc, then integrated the 2nd Armored Division of général Leclerc.
