[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] If we're asking that: would Starfleet have an air force as well? I don't think there is an "army" that is called such. I would imagine, rather, that a 24th Century Marine Corps could provide all the services that today's Marine Corps/Army does. An example? ================= On Planet XYZ, a colony has been taken over by a dictator, who has begun a plan of genocide (we'll say its a colony of black/whites and white/blacks). The Federation Council decided to intervene, and a small strike force of Force Recon Marines (two or three hundred) arrives under cover of sensor-cloaking technologies. They quickly overthrow the dictator, taking him into custody, and destroying or routing most of the forces loyal to him. Danger still exists. There are still vast numbers of XYZ troops willing to enforce the dictator's orders, and the Starfleet Marines are insufficient to stop them at their present numbers. Troop ships carrying the Marines' Regular forces arrives, and unloads several thousand Marines, who quickly begin the following missions: peacekeeping show of force disbanding XYZ troops establishing free elections et all et all Make sense? Sort of like today, when we send in the Marines first to hit 'em hard, then send in the Army to finish up the job and do primary peacekeeping [/QB][/QUOTE]
