Organization and Duties

The Starfleet Marines assigned to the USS Avandar belong to the Charlie Company of the Starfleet Marine Corps' 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment nicknamed "Shadows". The Squad is primarily assigned to Search And Rescue, and when directed, will assist in hostage rescue, its secondary role is to beef up security on board the USS Avandar certain members of the team have been added incase Starfleet or the Federation need them on Top Secret Orders that require their skills. The Security Department is responsible for the protection of the interior of the USS Avandar and its occupants.

The Avandars marine unit is a squad of 12 men, including 1 officers and 1 team leader. Each unit will have its own flight crew who are also SFMC trained pilots. The entire unit will generally come under the command of the Chief Marine Officer and the captain of the starship it is assigned to unless it has specific orders from Starfleet Intelligence or SFMC Headquarters. However because flexibility is the watchword, units can have any number of men but the officers are generally the only ones placed in lone assignments. The NCO’s are mainly always in units.
