The public face of the Republic of Texas Marine Corps Fighter Attack Squadron 112, the Cowboys, has always been the fighter squadron. But the Cowboys are also a loophole in the laws that have been updated to say that Marines cannot be deputized into law enforcement anymore. The Tarrant County Sheriff deputized the entire unit during the Second Great Depression, and has never rescinded it, and grandfather clauses being what they are, the entire unit is still included in his posse. Which happened to include a large number of non-fighter pilots, air and spacecraft, and even a respectable ground combat or military police element. The exact organizational chart covering the Cowboys was suitably complex and esoteric, even before The War. It has become far more interesting since then. This is a feature, not a bug, per the wishes of both the Tarrant County Sheriff and the Cowboys.
