It's just another bug hunt, right?

The United States Colonial Marine Corps (USCMC) or USCM, commonly known as the Colonial Marines, is the successor to the United States Marine Corps and their "force-in-readiness", who are at all times ready to operate in environments far from home.

The Colonial Marines, along with the United States Army, are part of the United Americas Allied Command. The primary duties of the Colonial Marines are to maintain security on all United Americas signatories and colonies, and serve as the vanguard of any major combat operation. They have fought on more than two dozen worlds, including Tientsin (8 Eta Bootis A III), Helene 215, Linna 349, BG-386, LV-1201, LV-742, and the infamous Acheron LV-426.

-Mission-

The USCM is the major striking element of the United Americas Allied Command, and is the nation's only major means of forcibly entering a hostile area from space. Its ability to project power on distant worlds makes it an essential element to the nation's security, and as such its versatility and responsiveness are key in times of crisis.


-Organization-

The Corps is roughly split between the supporting establishment and operating forces. The former includes recruitment, training, research and development, administrative and logistical duties, while the latter performs combat operations. Approximately 58 percent of Marines are in the operating forces.

The operating forces is divided into four combat divisions, four aerospace wings, and their required support groups, along with a fifth division and aerospace wing as reserves.

-History-

The National Security Act of 2101 established the Colonial Marines and its structure. At its peak in 2165 during the Tientsin campaign, the USCM numbered over 240,000 Marines; by 2179 that number had dropped to 165,000, with a further 50,000 in reserve.

-Uniform-

The Multi-Cam Combat Fatigue Uniform. Commonly Refereed to as Utilities, or Cammies by the Marines who wear them, this three piece uniform consists of (from head to toe):
Multi-Cam Cover, or hat with Eagle, Globe, and Anchor affixed in the front above the bill
Multi-Cam Blouse with reflective nametapes above the left and right breast pockets
Multi-Cam trousers with six pockets
This uniform is one of two fatigues, or work uniforms worn by Colonial Marines. This uniform is worn during combat maneuvers or field time, or on deployments where combat is supposed to be imminent. Several identifying patches and badges can be worn on this uniform depending on rank, location and Standard Operating Procedure of the Marines assigned command.
