[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [qb] Are the Military Assault Command Operations team the first canon evidence that Starfleet has an organization like the Marine Corps? I know that the idea of a Starfleet Marine Corps has been rejected by many on the grounds that Starfleet would not maintain a distinctly militaristic organization of dedicated soldiers, expecially those who would be intended as ground troops. Does the existence of the MACOs preclude the existence of a Starfleet Marine Corps or support it? I would speculate that with a different rank and ratings structure, the Military Assault Command Operations team is a separate service from Starfleet. Comments? Comments [/qb][/QUOTE]I think it's more a "pre-Security". After all, unless I'm mistaken, Reed and his guys are only considered tactical officers and there's no real "security" ever been identified. These guys obviously aren't StarFleet, but will eventually be absorbed into SF to form that "combined service" that Kirk mentioned several times in TOS. At least, that's my thinking. [/QB][/QUOTE]
