Terran Militia
"Always Ready, Always Vigilant"
Tasked as the reserve component to the Marine Corps, the Militia serves as a lightly outfitted and trained branch to boost numbers in times of war. The militia can also be seen as a place for “part time” members to be held, or members who do not have much time to commit to active duty requirements (1 event a week). An application process is required to gain entry into the Militia, with background checks and personality tests being standard. A potential recruit must meet certain criteria regarding their personal values and activity on Halo if they expect to be granted admission into the training process. Once admitted, a recruit will begin the selection and training program at the fabled "Eagles Nest", a Terran underground network of military fortifications built during the Commonwealth era. |
Marine Corps
"Wherever You Need Us, Whenever You Need Us"
The Terran Federation Marine Corps is the primary branch of the Federation Military, and is responsible for directly applying the full potential of combat power wherever it is needed. The Marine Corps provides for the defense of colonial assets both in and out of atmosphere, as well as Federation naval vessels as they navigate Federation space. Throughout Terran history the Marine Corps has developed a headstrong attitude of "wherever you need us, whenever you need us", and is founded on the principles of Loyalty, Duty, and Courage. Most Marines are trained to operate a variety of small arms, especially the MA40 Assault Rifle and the BR75 Service Rifle. The Corps also incorporates several especially trained vehicle units for both ground and air operations, in order to efficiently transport Marines and effectively engage hostile units. An application process is required to gain entry into the corps, with background checks and personality tests being standard. A potential recruit must meet certain criteria regarding their personal values and activity on Halo if they expect to be granted admission into the training process. Once admitted, a recruit will begin the selection and training program at the fabled "Eagles Nest", a Terran underground network of military fortifications built during the Commonwealth era. |
Federation Guard
"Protect and Serve"
The Federation Guard are the traditional unit of highly trained, professional, and well equipped personal security of the Chancellor and Federation government at the Terran Capitol. The Federation Guard uniform of dark red symbolize the sacrifice they make in both time and blood in their service of the government. During the CF-NRI conflict, the Federation Guard fought in the first attack in the Battle of Armis, fighting under the command of Chancellor Shadow at the time. The guard was one of the only groups that remained loyal to the Chancellor during the collapse of the Colonial Federation, and was even willing to execute the disloyal and plotting governors under the Chancellor's orders. Only members with an outstanding record of upholding the values of the Federation, especially honor, and duty may have the privilege of serving in the guard. |
