It is interesting to note that the Marines' oath is to the United Federation of Planets and not to Starfleet, although they bear the name.

It's not unheard of for Marines to do Bridge duty, however, they have a semi-Bridge in their facility named the CIC. This hub of sorts acts as their Control Room for deployment of equipment and troops, managing their duty rosters and maintaining contact with their platoon at all times during Away Missions. The CIC Controllers work closely with the Bridge Officers to coorindate resuce operations and on base militar presence when required. | It's not unheard of for Marines to do Bridge duty, however, they have a semi-Bridge in their facility named the CIC.
