| - The Starfleet Marine Corps (or SFMC) is the ground forces combat branch of the Federation Starfleet.
- The Starfleet Marine Corps (SFMC) is a modern descendant of naval infantry, based upon marines and army infantry of many Federation member planets. As with the Starfighter Corps and Starfleet Intelligence, the SFMC is an autonomous branch of the Starfleet Operating Forces, falling under the jurisdiction of the Starfleet Commander-in-Chief, but not under the auspices of Starfleet itself. The Commanding officer of the SFMC is the Force Marshall, a rank equivalent to Fleet Admiral.
- During the Four Years War (c. 2250s), Starfleet Marines landed on Laxala, and constructed plasteel huts for their bases. Marines were regularly sent to Ing in the late 23rd century to mount to flush-out anti-Federation Orion rebels, launch counter-offensives and destroy their bases of operation, but with limited success. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Common Knowledge) In that film, the SFMC was not spoken of in dialogue, however the Operation Retrieve command briefing did feature them. This marks the only canonical mention of the SFMC.

| - The Starfleet Marine Corps (SFMC) is a modern descendant of naval infantry, based upon marines and army infantry of many Federation member planets. As with the Starfighter Corps and Starfleet Intelligence, the SFMC is an autonomous branch of the Starfleet Operating Forces, falling under the jurisdiction of the Starfleet Commander-in-Chief, but not under the auspices of Starfleet itself. The Commanding officer of the SFMC is the Force Marshall, a rank equivalent to Fleet Admiral. The primary role of the Marines within the fleet is to maintain a well armed offensive & defensive force for rapid deployment anywhere within Federation and outlying space. Marine detachments are stationed aboard starships and bases where they assist the crew in battles, board enemy ships and conduct planetary actions as well as assist in the protection of starports and bases. They also serve as a landing force; securing an area for transporter or shuttle landing. Unlike security, Marines do not walk a patrol, investigate crime or administer the brig and, unlike tactical, Marines do not operate the ship's weaponry. As a result of their mixed land and space role, Marine forces are mainly specialized in amphibious (figuratively 'of two worlds') assaults using infantry, armour, artillery, air/spacecraft, and watercraft. They train for many combat scenarios including hostage recovery, rescue of Federation citizens caught in the midst of civil war as well as full ground based combat.

(FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Common Knowledge) In 2293, the SFMC was slated to take part in Operation Retrieve. They would have landed teams on Rura Penthe and participated in a direct assault on the Klingon prison complex on that planet. (TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) In that film, the SFMC was not spoken of in dialogue, however the Operation Retrieve command briefing did feature them. This marks the only canonical mention of the SFMC.
