The duty post of Marine is a tough one to define. It's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness, in that '''Starfleet Marines''' are not entirely seen as a canon branch of Starfleet.  Therefore, there are no set "rules" for what a Marine should be simmed as. However, simmers and players alike have defined their own meaning through this on how to SIM a good Marine on board a Starfleet vessel.  
The duty post of Marine is a tough one to define. While there have been mentions of "ground forces" in DS9 and the appearance of Colonel West in ''The Undiscovered Country'', Starfleet Marines themselves have never been explicitly mentioned in the Trek series and movies. A possible precursor to the Starfleet Marines exists with the [http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Military_Assault_Command_Operations MACOs] introduced on ''Star Trek: Enterprise'', but still, there are no set rules for what a Starfleet Marine should be simmed as. Thus, simmers and fans alike have since worked on defining how to SIM a good Marine aboard a Starfleet vessel.
