[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]Snay is it possible that there is a Department of Starfleet Military Assault Command that is the Federation equivalent of the marines? Or would the name Military Assualt Command not appear in the name of the service? Like Millitary Airlift Command is part of the US Air Force?[/QUOTE]Oh, I agree with you that there is a Federation army of some sort, most likely in the form of a Marine Corps, but I believe that it would be organized under Starfleet, in the same way that the USMC and the USN are organized in the Dept. of the Navy. My confusion stems from why this "Maco" might be a seperate entity from the Starfleet: certainly at this stage -- even if you go for Gene's "no military" beliefs -- it seems most likely that "Starfleet" has descended from some sort of NATO/UN military force, and so the probabilities of a seperate land-based fighting force seems implausible. I'm tired. If you don't understand what I tried to say, I'll try to say it again tomorrow :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
