Starfleet Marine Corps

The Starfleet Marine Corps, or simply the Starfleet Marines, were the military forces of the Federation's Starfleet. Unlike the rest of Starfleet's service personnel, who used a naval ranking structure, the Marines used a rank structure based on equivalents of Earth infantry-based militaries, such as the MACOs. One early branch of the SFMC was the Starfleet Ground Attack Marines of the 2160s, a force that was considered inactive by the 24th century.

History
During the Four Years War (c. 2250s), Starfleet Marines landed on Laxala, and constructed plasteel huts for their bases. Marines were regularly sent to Ing in the late 23rd century to mount to flush-out anti-Federation Orion rebels, launch counter-offensives and destroy their bases of operation, but with limited success.
