Marine Country

On all United Stars Navy Capital Ships, there is a detachment of Union Marines. Operationally, while on board, most of them fall under the command of the Security Officer. The commander of the detachment is normally second or third in command of the security detail, and in overall command of those participating in an Orbital Assault.

In most ships there is a certain amount of segregation by service and the area assigned for housing and training of the Marine Contingent is called Marine Country.
