United States Marine Corps/Modern Warfare

The United States Marine Corps is the maritime land force service branch of the United States of America Armed Forces featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered.
==Biography==
===Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered===
The modern United States Marine Corps 1st Force Reconnaissance Company is portrayed in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
It appears that all non-Russian helicopters in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare are operated by the United States, particularly the USMC. A good example is during the 1996 mission to assassinate Imran Zakhaev, when Lt. Price and Captain MacMillan are extracted, by a Marine Corps CH-46 Sea Knight, with Marines in black battle dress uniforms and balaclavas providing covering fire for the extraction. In "Crew Expendable" athe UH-60 Blackhawk and Sea Knight that drops off and rescues the SAS commandos, respectively, are crewed by pilots with American accents.
During the Invasion of an unnamed Middle Eastern nation in 2011, the player takes the role of Paul Jackson, a Sergeant in 1st Force Recon and part of a Marine Task-Force assigned to General Shepherd and tasked with the capture of Khaled Al-Asad, who took over the nation in a violent coup. During the USMC's aerial calvary assault, their troops are using UH-60 Blackhawks, AV-8B Harrier IIs, Ch-46 Sea Knights, and AH-1W Cobras. In the third day of the invasion, Al-Asad detonated a nuclear device in his capital city. This killed 30,000 Marines who were in the city at the time.
Later, Marines joined the British Special Air Service in a joint operation to retake a launch control facility from Russian Ultranationalists and prevented ICBMs from striking the United States' Eastern Seaboard. Their escape was compromised, and in the ensuing chaos, it is unknown if any of the Marines involved in the raid survived.
====Multiplayer Maps====
The USMC are a playable faction in Multiplayer, fighting against the OpFor. Griggs serves as the announcer in all game modes in the original game, while an unknown Marine serves as the announcer in game modes exclusive to the remaster.

===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2===
The Marines are not a playable faction, though they are seen at the end of "The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday" as the chopper flies away. They secure the SAM sites, hostages and "mop up" what Task Force 141 had left behind. During the level "Of Their Own Accord", numerous Marine CH-46 Sea Knights are seen throughout the level supporting the battle and extracting wounded. Through the radio chatter, it can also be heard that Marines dispatched AV-8B Harriers and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets. Same radio conversations also imply that Marines were providing intel gathering, fire support and CASEVAC rolls in the Battle for Washington DC. A Sea Knight appears at the extraction zone at the end of Cliffhanger. AV-8B Harriers and AH-1W Super Cobras can be seen and called in as a killstreak rewards in multiplayer.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized===
Marines are a playable faction in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized both in campaign mode and multiplayer.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3===
The United States Marine Corps appears as a friendly faction in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The 2nd Marine Regiment makes a cameo in "Black Tuesday" where they are seen near Queens. They are seen helping Team Metal in rescuing the Vice President of the United States in the mission "Goalpost", providing armored and aerial support.

==Trivia==
*In the earliest stages of the development of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the Marines used the same HUD icon in multiplayer as the Americans in Call of Duty 2.
*The USMC multiplayer faction icon can be found in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 files. This proves that USMC were originally going to be a playable faction, as the icon is different from the icon used in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
