These men and women are the backbone of the U.S. Military in the Lingshan Islands, deployed in support of the Raptor Team operation in progress. They begin an all out offensive against the KPA, clearing the way for Nomad to the Mountain and assisting Pyscho in his field operations, and finally assisting both in their defense against the Alien invasion. They are lead locally by Major Strickland, and overall by Admiral Morrison.
History
The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. The Marines played a minor role in World War 1 and became important in the Second World War in the Pacific. The Marines were awarded many Medal of honors for their services in World war 2 and the Vietnam War. They have most recently been deployed in the Lingshan islands alongside the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army Delta Force.

Assault
The Marines first appear in the level Assault, deploying via VTOL under Lieuntenant Bradley. Their primary landing zone under Korean artillery fire, so the marines deploy in a defensive position on a ridge, assisting Nomad by eliminating Koreans who venture to close to the ridge where they are deployed, as well as Korean LTVs that travel the road below (this can be an effective way to save ammo by luring Koreans unto the entrenched marines position.) Nomad can also stock up on SCAR ammo from marine corpses. After Nomad eliminates the AAA guns, the Marines deploy Armor led by Strickland.
Onslaught
In Onslaught, USMC tanks assault the KPA throughout the island, and Marine infantry deploy at the harbor and train station from VTOLs.

Appearance
Marines appear similiar to real life Marines, wearing camouflage fatigues (a cross inbetween multicam and a digital MARPAT/ACU Uniform) with velcro shoulders, MOLLE capable body armor (also a cross inbetween the Modular Tactical Vest and an Improved Outer Tactical Vest), and, boots, knee guards, and some variants wear neck guards and shoulder pads, and most wear a helmet (which is a cross inbetween a CVC helmet, and a Delta Force Protec Special). Almost all Marines carry SCARs, but a few in the later levels carry Gauss Rifles and LAWs.
All variants of US Marine reporting to Nomad.
Gameplay
Marines will typically beat Koreans squads in game, but will lose to higher up enemies such as Korean Nanosuits or Special Operations troop, and while can they beat Alien troopers and scouts, they will rollover when facing a hunter. Marines use the same AI set as Koreans do (I.E. Flanker, Camper, etc.) Marines are also seen operating LTVs, ASVs, in VTOLs, and Tanks.
