 * This certification is intended for Operational Support personnel (Operations and Engineering officers) as well as junior Command personnel who wish to be authorized to bear sidearms and serve as adjunct Security personnel on Away Missions. By definition, active/unrestricted duty Security Section officers hold this certification for as long as they maintain their billet in good standing.
+=== Marine .V. Security ===
+The duty assignments of Security Officers and Marine Corps Officers are very similar in nature; however there is a distinct difference between their operational authorities. Therefore, a very strict separation of power has arisen, and Security Officers and Marine Officers follow this separation strictly.
+While Marines are stationed aboard starships, operational authority and control rests with the Chief of Security of that starship. The marines are to supplement the security force on a starship in the event of a boarding or other hostile action that takes place on board that ship. Duties such as guarding sensitive areas or security patrols are general examples of this. Final authority for Security on a Starfleet vessel rests in the hands of the Chief of Security who then reports to the Captain or Executive officer.
+However, on away missions, as well as any hostile boarding actions, when there is a Marine presence, the Marine Commander will then take responsibility for the safety and well being of the crew assigned. Security may assist as necessary; however the Marine Commander has the authority and jurisdiction. This situation also applies to marine land units where Fleet security officers are assigned, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.
