Martian Marine Corps

The Martian Marine Corps (MMC), also referred to as the Martian Marines, is a branch of the United Republics of Mars Navy responsible for conducting expeditionary and space-borne operations with the United Republics of Mars Navy as well as the Army and Air Force.

The Marine Corps has been a component of the URM Navy since 30 June 2352, working closely with naval forces. The MMC operates installations on land and aboard space-going amphibious warfare ships around the solar system. Additionally, several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily Marine Fighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the assualt carriers.

Capabilities
The Marine Corps fulfills a critical military role as an amphibious warfare force. It is capable of asymmetric warfare with conventional, irregular, and hybrid forces.

The close integration of disparate Marine units stems from an organizational culture centered on the infantry. Every other Marine capability exists to support the infantry. Unlike some militaries, the Corps owing to a lack of manpower, are comprised mainly of assualt drones commanded from a ship, following orders from field Marines.

The MMC capable of launching independent assualts, being similar in size to five standard Martian Army Divisions, though they are able to requisition drones from other service branches should the need arise.
