Star Fleet Marine Corps (2208)

The Starfleet Marine Corps (SFMC) is a direct descendent of the United Earth's Military Assault Commandos (MACO), as well as the naval infantry of the other UFP founding members that participated in the Romulan War. The SFMC consolidated upon the UFP Starfleet's founding from available ground forces into several expeditionary forces, each led by a Lieutenant General. These expeditionary forces are deployed into major combat areas and are comprised of the number of divisions determined to be appropriate for that combat area. Starfleet Support Operations maintains transports to deliver Marines to combat areas and assault ships to deliver them to combat areas. The SFMC also has a special operations force, called Rapid Reaction Teams (RRT), each comprised of 12 Marines. These will usually be deployed on sector command ships, in order to be quickly available for small-scale incidents. Additionally, Starfleet will sometimes set aside ships-of-the-line (such as frigates, destroyers and light cruisers) dedicated to providing full and rapid support to Rapid Reaction Company, to provide a quick response solution.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps is the only Marine with the rank of General, while the Assistant Commandant holds the rank of Lieutenant General.
