| - Comprised of infantry, armor, and atmospheric aircraft, the Marine Corps is constituted of highly mobile strike forces, which at the strategic level of warfare, provide the Terran Dominion Joint Forces Command the ability to invade hostile defended worlds. Logistically incapable of sustaining prolonged autonomous combat operations, the Marines are organized and equipped to initially breach hostile planetary defenses and enable the landing of follow-on forces. Whereas the Marines are doctrinally organized for offensive operations, its counterparts, the Terran Dominion Army and the Colonial Militia, are organized for the defense of Dominion worlds against external attack. Nevertheless, during the interbellum, given the paucity of target worlds to invade, the Marines were often repurposed for security operations and counterterrorism operations, bereft of any offensive operations to partake in.
