I have tried to keep it simple.
naval infantry = sailors fighting on land
coastal infantry = troops that have been trained for amphibious warfare
In Finland we havy many types of troops for amphibious operations for Archiplego sea. Coastal jaegers for commando style operations, coastal infantry for amphibious warfare, combat divers for recon and raids, coastguardsmen for guerilla type activity. And we also have coastal artillery. Coastal artillery also train infantry to protect gunnery units. Both army and navy have units for archipelago warfare and navy reservist could end up in the army unit or vice versa... And of course coastal jaegers have their own combat divers for recon. Problem is that most of the players don't understand the diffrence between the units! KISS.
