The Starfleet Ground Forces is the branch of Starfleet concerned with ground based combat. The Ground Forces uses a similar departmental structure as Starfleet, with Command, Operations and Sciences. It also has more specialized units apart from the ordinary infantry. It has air, artillery and mechanized units to support the soldier on the ground. It also has electronic warfare units, whose role is to intercept and jam enemy transmissions (including transporters) and to make sure the Ground Forces' own signals can reach their destination.
