USCM or United States Colonial Marines, directed and deployed by the Interstellar Commerce Commission, or ICC, are some of the toughest fighting men and women in the known universe.
The ICC's Marines are armed with state of the art weaponry and training.
History
The United States Colonial Marine Corps (USCM), commonly known as the Colonial Marines, is the successor to the United States Marine Corps and is the United Americas' primary "force-in-readiness", who are at all times ready for immediate deployment without any additional reinforcement, training or provisioning. They specialize in force projection, being able to operate independently in environments far from home for extended periods thanks to their technological prowess and sizeable space fleet at their disposal.
The Colonial Marines, along with the United States Army, are part of the United Americas Allied Command. The primary duties of the Colonial Marine Corps are to maintain security for all United Americas signatories and at all extraterrestrial colonies that fall under United States of America's control, and serve as the vanguard of any major combat operation. They have fought on more than two dozen worlds, including Tientsin (8 Eta Bootis A III), Helene 215, Linna 349, BG-386, LV-1201, LV-742, and the infamous Acheron LV-426.
Weapons
Though trained to fight with just about any weapon, civilian, military, or otherwise, the USCM standard issue weapons are as follows

ICC Marines drop into interplanetary combat zones using the UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship.
With a total crew complement of 60 and the ability to carry small vehicles such as APCs and other combat craft, the Cheyenne is more than just a transport ship.
The Cheyenne is also capable of carrying a full armament of missiles and other formidable weaponry.
Current Mission
Currently the ICC has deployed marines to the Bunda Survey cluster with orders to remove, with extreme prejudice, any hostile military forces from the moon Hydra 3. Reports indicate a base of mercenaries, likely the 22nd Rangers, a bitter rival of the USCM and the ICC.
