(U.S.C.M) that are the primary human force in the FWM Army. Originally a simple part of the army known as the Green Corp, it quickly expanded and became part of the Colonial Marines.

The Colonial Marines duties are to maintain and secure all of the FWM's territories, all the fictional land and insuring it does fall to other threats, although they are often secondary in most situations due to the Synthetic Troopers, they are key in much search and rescue formats.

Mission

The Colonial Marines were formed for the FWM's standards due to the ever rapid growth for human forces. Although often brushed aside by the Riot Bots and seen as pointless do the Riot Bots not costing lives, the marines prove to be able to fluently move and take down hostiles, adapting very well with any kind of environment.
