The Republic of Texas Marine Corps has been an odd organization since the beginning of the Republic. Part light infantry. Part mobile infantry. Part naval infantry. Part diplomatic guard. Some are lawmen. Some fight in air and space. All wear powered battle armor. Every Marine is a rifleman. They consider themselves the premiere Texas ground, air, and space combatants. The Space Force and the Army disagree with them. The Navy laughs in capital missiles. But it is undeniable that there is a certain mythos to being a Texas Marine that is larger than life. They have much in common with the Texas Rangers in that. They are relatively few in number compared to the other services, but their deeds are the stuff of legends. And wherever the Texas military goes in any numbers, you can expect at least some Texas Marines to be part of that force. Sometimes they are the entirety of the force.
