They fight on the ground shoulder to shoulder with their subordinates, putting Marine technology and training to use to provide real-time guidance to their platoon, company, or even battalion as to enemy action. Marine officers have a long tradition of being in front of the formation in war or peacetime, and it is a rare Lieutenant or Captain indeed who hasn't bled for his or her men. Unlike some branches of the military, the Marine officer leadership is some of the best and most innovative to be found on or off the field of battle. If a situation warrants their support, Marines can rapidly mobilize and deploy as a highly elite infantry field outfit, providing an extraordinary level of basic tactical support or field operations in advance of a combat push. The only things that differentiate one Marine from the next it is time in a combat position and specialized training for combat roles. There is no such thing as an 'Infantry' speciality- every Marine is Infantry. Marines are heavy-combat troops, first and foremost. With the formation of the Galactic Alliance, the Marine Corps' primary mission is now almost exclusively clandestine operations.Įvery Marine is called upon to be an expert not only at their assigned job- armorer, supply, administration- but at all the tasks demanded of a highly trained and well-disciplined infantry warfighter. Their mission was expanded to allow Marines to be utilized as effective operators across the galaxy. As the Alliance's military continued to downsize, it eventually became apparent that the advanced boarding and combat training Marines recieved made them ideally suited for clandestine operations in numerous other venues. Since Marine casualties in engagements were often significant, many of them became hardened soldiers very quickly.
Constantly on high-risk action, they were second only to the Alliance Starfighter Corps in terms of casualties. The marines were soon used for everything from zero-g combat and boarding operations to full ground assaults against Imperial targets.
The newly-fashioned Alliance Defense Force needed a mobile element that could be staffed aboard the vessels of the Alliance Defense Force Fleet.
As the former New Repulic grew, the defense of member worlds took higher priority than assault. It remains one of the most highly trained and specialized units, with its roots in the Alliance Special Forces. The Galactic Alliance Marine Corps became its own branch of the Alliance Defense Force after the liberation of Coruscant and the formation of a Galactic Alliance.
