    The document outlines the organization and roles of Star Marine forces, including expeditionary units, detachments, and transport ships.

    Star Marine expeditionary units (SMEUs) are organized into regiments containing battalions, companies, and support units for combined arms operations. Battalions and companies can also be deployed independently as space ready groups.

    Star Marine detachments (MARDETs) of varying sizes provide security and are used for boarding actions and landing missions on starships. Their size depends on the class of starship.

    arms (Infantry, Armor, Artillery) and support units (logistics).
