The **Marine Corps** is one the longest serving branches of Tactical Operation Command and is responsible for bringing in new recruits and serving as the entry level branch, taking this responsibility from the ODSTd and our mainline infantry. Their role is to be at the front of our wars and has had a long and rich history during it's service and has helped kickstart hundreds of careers within our ranks.

# **HISTORY**

**2011 - Foundation**

As the clan community began to grow so did TacCom, with the ODSTs beginning to have excess numbers and slowly causing their overall skill level to drop, at the same time our clan's leaders had been in contact with Operations Command about a merge, during the negations High Command made the decision to allow their Marine's to transition over and become the first Marine Branch of our clan and that would take this responsibility or taking in new recruits and working on making them better, with the Merger finalised; The **Marines** were founded on March 2011 on Halo Reach and established under the same banner they held in OPCOM as the **106rd Marine Corps**.

**Marine** Leadership would also transfer with **Sergeant Major UNSC A Johnson** who at the time was known as UNSC Avery John became the first Commanding Officer of the Marines. **Johnson** held a passion and strong mindset on what he wanted the marines to become and quickly began working on building up his staff, forming a staff team compromised of both TOC and OPCOM members with **DreamFXA** from TOC as his XO, **IxAmxLegend** from OPCOM as his OPSO and **UNSC Dagger** from the TOC ODSTs as his HDI and would later become the best Head Drill Instructor and future GCO Victor Canfield. During this time the Marines would heavily focus on training and bringing in new recruits that couldn't before join and with **Dagger** designing some of the earliest concepts of **Camp Sunset**. The Marines were quickly fitting in with the clan. The Marines also got close and held good relations with the ODSTs and held several infantry trainings and even some friendly competitive BTB.

**2012 - Covenant Empire Campaign**

By the end and start of 2012 the Marines stood at 15 members and would come into the new year with high hopes, however on February 12th Johnson would announce his first of many retirements and step down from Commanding Officer. While his XO **Gunnery Sergeant DreamFXA** would take up the mantle of Commander it would be short lived, he didn't offer much in terms of changes to the branch, with Johnson and Dagger both retired or moved on he appointed brand new staff along with creating the basis of the first 106th NCO Handbook. During this he would resign on June 17th after seeing someone with more potential as he too retired only 6 moneths later on June 17th, during this not much would change other then Dagger moving on to the Spartan-II Program and Dream appointing brand new staff and creating the first NCO Handbook or the basis of it.

Following his resignation the **Marines** would be handed down to the next Commanding Officer **Lieutenant Colonel Vickram Jones**. Vickram would go down as one of the marines greatest COs, upon Vickram's appointed the clan would enter the first of many wars. The Covenant Empire Campaign started on June 23rd with all hands on deck, Vickram would beginning running training excises and preparing for war, he wasn't afraid to ask for help from our more skilled members including Spartan's and ODSTs. By July 5th **Vickram** would be promoted to Second Lieutenant and becoming the first Marine Officer in the clan's history and gain a size of 32 members, over the course of the next few months, the Marines would be used and deployed to defend UNSC Strongholds and attack Covenant Fortifications besides. During this war **Vickram** would sought out one of his marines **Staff Sergeant Richard M Saz** and together would form the first generation of our **Marine Force Recon**. At the same time, **Vickram** would gain a bigger presence in the battle on both the fighting ground and the politics, he would gain a positive reputation in the community and using this helped the flow of marines, pushing the Marines into the 50 member gap. This feat and amazing work from all over his staff team along with **Vickram's** performance, skills and reputation all played major factors into not just the success of his branch but the war as well and cemented himself as one of the best and greatest Marine Leaders in history. And on October 2nd **Vickram** would be given the position of **G-OPSO** and a promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, **Vickram** would go on to secure himself and help other branches further securing a strong relation with the rest of the clan.

**2013**

While the Covenant Empire Campaign was still hot we would sadly see the end of **Vickram's** great career as he achieved everything he wanted to do, rebuild the marines, get into General Staff there wasn't anymore he could do and with a firm believe his staff team can easily sustain the branch he hosted a retirement fun customs on March 14th, he would be the second person ever to be put on the hall of fame besides **ODST D Cambridge.** Following the departure of our of best leaders the **Marines** would be led by his XO **First Lieutenant Unsc m simmons**, following his predecessor he led the **Marines** in the campaign, he was able to retrain the Marines however would grown tired and burnt out due to the stress of the entire conflict, forcing himself to step down only 22days after his promotion.

On the 5th April the **Marines** were passed down to **Master Sergeant UNSC K Coady** who while was trained under some of the best and had shown promising qualities as a leader he just couldn't cut it and would slowly and slowly cause internal damage to the branch, slow decisions, lack of presence on the frontlines and halted the war drills which also brought down **Marine** morale and skill and finally held no responsibility's over the actions of his NCOs who were causing more problems and issues across the entire clan. At last on the 1st July High Command took action and removed **Coady** from his position as Commanding Officer along with the demotion of several NCOs and staff, the **Marines** were now slowly collapsing and required a lot to be fixed, however a Sergeant stepped forward within the **Marines** and asked High Command for a chance to lead, a person who's been around since the start and was well known by a majority of the clan's members and leaders, **Sergeant Major Jason D Price**. While his reputation wasn't as clean there wasn't a lot of options, with this Jason did his best and made a some small progress however due to his young age and the state of the branch, the **Marines** needed someone who could do the job and after a discussion with Jason he's decided to step down till he could get more mature and with no one else in the branch to do the job, High Command took emergency action and brought in **Victor-101** former Marine HDI. **Victor** got to work and quickly starting mending the torns and threads of the entire branch, a lot of the old documents and training styles would be removed and updated to the branches new needs along with his own touch and the branch would receive it's official second rebranding; Marking the end of the 106th and welcoming in the **405th Infantry Division**. He would go on to make strides and finally in August he would find the perfect replacement.

**Captain Chips M Dubbo** would carry the spirit and passion of how a Marine CO should act, and would become one of the branches legends alongside Vickram. **Chips** brought so much more to the **Marines**, he introduced the first version of a company-wide structure with squads, fireteams and platoon with plenty of staff positions and ways for enlisted to show themselves. This system is still inplace today with some changes and has been adopted by most of the entire UNSC Community.

**2014**

The clan would enter celebrations on January 6th as the Covenant Empire Campaign would come to a slow and abrupt end following the clan's decision to enter hibernation. **Chips** along with many others would be awarded medals for their actions and after ensuring a peaceful transition from wartime to standard time before going over to assist the ODSTs after wanting a new place of scenery. Taking his place would be **Major Oscar G009,** Oscar wouldn't make huge changes to Chips perfect formula however would assist and contribute heavily to the construction of Enjin page and forms, this and sustaining a steady flow of numbers, he would carry on his service till July 11th after transferring to the Spartan-III Supersolders for valiant service as a Marine CO. **First Sergeant Ralph 1O3 Sll** would step in and become the next Commanding Officer, Ralph again wouldn't make any huge changes and would try to focus more on keeping the flow of new recruits, however due to poor miss management of his Instructor Team he'd give up and resign in September following a massive walkout of DIs.

At last the **Marines** would begin to take a change for the better with **First Lieutenant Nathan Callahan**. Now unlike most of the former CO's; Callahan was the MFR Head before his appointment, and now as the Commanding Officer would make the choice to carefully and slowly transition the **Marines** and help them stand up and fight on parr with the ODSTS and few select Spartans. He utilized his MFR Team and all of them started hosting drills and trainings. This would be a more educational time for the branch but with Staff, MFR and DIs working together to help out soon enough the branch would slowly boost it's overall skill and after a month or two the branch was now operating much better then what it once was. At the same time leadership in high places would happen and Victor-101 now Canfield was GCO and **Nathan** proved to be the right choice to handle the **Marines** but the ultimate test would arrive as after a few hostile interactions and toxicity, TacCom under the new leadership of **Victor Canfield** would declare war and begin the **Naval Command Campaign.** The war would only last for 3 months as our **Marines** would tear their forces apart and show just how far **Callahan's** **Marines** went and the war would end in their humiliating defeat. After this we'd enter a few more wars in this time and the **Marines** would once again show just how far they went and helped secured the victory over several clans.

**2015**

Going into 2015, the **Marines** under **Nathan's** leadership carried on dominating any clan that tried to oppose them and the entire branch had reached a state of skill and parr on other branches levels, with this and the constant fighting, it would get repetitive for **Nate** and eventually would choose to hang up his coat and resign on April 11th.

Taking his place would be arguably one of the worst Commanding Officer's in history; **Major Jack Dessen** who self promoted himself to (O4) Major and in turn ruined a lot of things set in place by **Nathan**, the skill bridge between **Marines** and **ODSTS** slowly started drifting apart, structure was left behind and would begin to isolate the **Marines**, causing social situations between the branches to arise and with **Jacks** gaslighting would eventually cause an uproar and tensions broke so began the civil war of Tactical Command.

The civil war would last for several months, with fighting on discord and in-game and with no action from the Spartan's the **Marines** were left on their own to fight, numbers began dropping and after 2 months of in fighting and after warnings about possibly shutting down the **Marines** entirely and re-opening the Army, several **Marine NCOs** and their OPSO held a vote of no-confidence and passed it to High Command who finally took action and on May 2nd **Jack** was demoted and discharged for his actions.

In the end, the relation between the **Marines** had been torn and with the ODSTS opting to pull out any and all support towards their rebuilding and with the **Spartans** dealing with the external warfront the **Marines** were practically left on their own to rebuild from the ground up. In the end the only remnant of **Marine Staff** and the person who held the vote and pushed and pleaded to High Command, a person would who in turn rise to become the best Commanding Officer in **Marine** history; **Major General UNSC E Lomax** later known as **Jessica Halstead**.

**Lomax** didn't waste anytime and went straight to work, her first mission was to bring back some sort of relation with the other branches and bring them back into the fold. Holding meetings with **ODST** Commanding Officer **ODST T Miles** and later **Daniel Teller**. Both offered their support and slowly began helping, her next major challenge would be the transitional period where TOC was moving from it's Halo Reach and Halo 4 Operations and now moving everything to Halo 5, unlike previous transitions this went off rather smoothly and 2 weeks into the launch of Halo 5 the **Marines** where the first fully move and beginning setting up home. It wouldn't be long till TacCom entered it's next biggest war; the **SAS Gaming Clan Campaign**, the war was mostly fought on the intelligence and espionage side but **Lomax** found methods to help in the war, by setting up several open lobbies and patrols to track down and engage enemy forces. She'd slowly start bringing structure again to the clan starting with fireteams then squads and finally restoring the company system, along with adding new MOSs and sub-groups including the **Marine Military Police** whose jobs were to defend **Marine** lobbies during trainings and other events to avoid enemy forces taking us by surprise.

Thanks to her brilliance and careful planning all **Marine** lobbies were able to defend from all sorts of attacks and counter plays and soon enough the **Marines** were once again back up to standards, relations with the ODSTs had been fixed and slowly and surely everything came full circle. To finish things off and truely show the **Marines** were entering a new state caused a massive rebrand. And so the 405th came to a close and in it's place would be the **12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Battalion**, and this is still the callsign we use till this day.

**2016**

Starting off the year, the **Marines** would reach high numbers, stability from all over and hold a big reputation in the clan, for her contributions she earned huge respect from Victor Canfield himself and when he went on LOA for 3 months, she was chosen to take up the role of Chief of Staff and acted as the GCO till his return, during this time she locked down strategy and plans to win the war and by the time Victor came back the war was looking very clearly in our favour and the morale was on an all time high.

But she showed how valuable as a leader she could be and the decision was made to promote her to the position of **(O8) Major General**. The highest rank and position reached in the clan for the longest time, she was also offered **G-XO** however she only wanted to focus on her own branch and COS when Victor couldn't. She would show herself to be the most important CO in history and no matter what she'll go down in history.

**2017**

Entering this year we would hear the news that **Jessica** got into her dream uni that could lead to her dream job and with this had to make the difficult choice to announce her resignation and finalised everything and a retirement ceremony was held on January 14th. During her ceremony she would be the first non raid member to get the Medal of Honour for her contributions in the war and carrying the clan during 3 months and was able to maintain the momentum and morale and the first person to receive the brand new Recognition of Service Award, along of course with her hall of fame placement. She earned and achieved so much and was the longest serving CO in **Marine** history, her actions and character will never be forgotten.

Before she resigned she trained up and mentored her XO **Lieutenant Colonel Samuel H Tarkov** was ready and helped push the **Marines** and led the branch into the final hours of the war resulting in a win for TOC. **Samuel** had so many plans and ideas for the branch and was the best suitable replacement, he had the brains and confidence to handle everything however due to unexpected personal irl issues he was given no choice but to step down in April 12th, leaving his ideas to be forgotten.

Coming back for round 2, **Second Lieutenant Jason D Price** was given the ropes again and while he wouldn't do anything major in terms of changes, he offered stability and helped train up a staff team and NCO team and step away to focus on school on May 5th. **Second Lieutenant Sean Roffus** stepped in to take over however would only last till June 8th due to feeling incompetent and not really feeling able to do anything compared to former COs.

Offering a more stable and suitable replacement; **First Lieutenant UNSC McKnight** who is one of the longest serving enlisted marines at the time took over the ship, **McKnight** would help push in a more suitable lifestyle and starting working on revamping and polishing training maps and while not as skilled as **Marines** under **Nathan** or **Jessica**. He was able to at least assemble a semi-confident raiding branch and along with his calm and nice demeanour he was able to form strong connections with the other branches.

**2018**

Going into the new year, the **Marines** were once again on parr with their fellow clan mates but all that was about to change. With Sentinel on the rise and starting to plague UNSC Clans, and causing significant harm to some of the UNSCs strongest clans like Naval Command. This of course was not going to sit well with the TacCom and by February 11th High Command would announce a full frontal assault on the **Sentinel Insurgency.** At the start **McKnight** was fully onboard with leading the **Marines**. And tried to follow the wartime steps put in place during the SAS war with the Military Police.

However it would quickly prove that Sentinel even with security measures in place they were far too skilled and a few of our lobbies would be infiltrated and overun. This and an overwhelming member loss with people deserting or feeling TOC wasn't up to parr, **McKnight** would request to step down to XO due to not feeling like he was the correct fit.

With this, it was important more then ever to find a suitable person who could the lead the clan's mainline infantry against Sentinel. Unlike other wars it was clear that TOC could not falter and fall in this war so after ALOT of talking from all over the clan and out of the shadows came a **Marine** who had shown the possibility of being the right person for the job, who was the only NCO who could hold down his platoon and defend their lobbies and got the support of his platoon and other **Spartans**.

It was decided that **Major Sarge M Golfer** would take up the mantle; **Sarge** after only a few minutes in power would already shift the entire clan atmosphere, he would get to work, getting help from high skilled **ODSTs** and **Spartans** to help out with security, stopping Sentinel's breaking into our lobbies AND brought branch relations to the closest it's ever been. He would go on to enforce strict rules and push his branch into a war state, every **Marine** was given tons of training on protocols and BTB and while they weren't up to parr with **Nathan**s **Marines** they still able to hold their own against Sentinel. And for the first time in a long time had the **Marines** felt like one big family, with the branch being so small due to the loss of numbers it was easier to become friends with everyone being a close nit unit this helped teamwork and engagements were much harder for either side to win.

As the war carried on and **Victor** stepping down as GCO, **Sarge** would be seen as the clan's **Wartime Leader** and would be the key person to handle anything war related, around the middle of the war, UNSC Clans would begin to form bonds and alliances to combat Sentinel's wraith, the two big ones were the Sol Union (**PersCom, Navcom, Agera, Fleetcom, and Infinity Operations**) and the Boston Tea Party, TOC would join the Sol Union however would quickly leave following lack of proper leadership and coordination from everyone, leaving TacCom to once again fight Sentinel head on.

In November Sentinel would officially announce a ceasefire and end most conflicts, deciding it had beaten up the UNSC Community enough with the final score being 17 wins, 5 ties and 12 losses. While in the end it would end in a ceasefire, TOC still take on the fact they defended the UNSC Community and the only clan that held a positive KD against them. And thanks to **Sarge's** actions the clan and **Marines** were able to make huge strides and get on top.

**2019**

Going into more peaceful times it was hard for **Sarge** to adapt, with no wars or conflicts everything he had set in stone had to be cracked opened, with this **Sarge** wouldn't back down and with help from his XO **McKnight** would do his best to operate in a friendly manner, not much happened for the **Marines** during this year, there was a moment in time where **Sarge** left temporarily to lead the Navy however would come back to support the **Marines** and would earn his Major rank for all he did.

And finally in November; **Sarge** would resign after believing his time had come and peacetime just wasn't for him and he'd return to lead us into battle.

**2020**

Going into the year, there would be some stability issues with no one in staff at the time that would properly take over the branch, High Command had to call in emergency aid. And at the same time would begin a year long operation that would cement the future of the **Marines**. First **ODST CO - Second Lieutenant Mike Xavier** would be brought in at first to hold the mantle of CO and help set everything up and while he would be temporary his actions helped set everything in motion and upon his later retirement from ODST CO the **Marines** would hold a ceremony to thank him for his efforts.

In the next phase on February 18th, the branch would be handed over to **Second Lieutenant UnshippedBoat** who had a fairly good understanding of what the branch needed and would focus on building on new training manuals and at the same time

After completing the successful transition he would step down in April and allowed the third and final piece of the puzzle and a person who would go on to become one of the best leaders in history; **Captain Malcolm Murphy**, for a short time he would go on to rename the **Marines** into the **2nd Battalion** however after some backlash and feedback returned it to it's former name. Afterwards he would go on to jumpstart MFR and MEF bringing in a whole new atmosphere of skill and out growing **Marines**, brought in and trained some of the best staff and NCOs in history who would go on to lead this branch for the long run and would go on to secure the **Marines**.

In August there would be a clan wide election for the new General Commanding Officer. **Malcolm** like many others stepped forward and in the end the vote would come down to himself and the SIII CO **Holly G003**. **Malcolm** would win the election and become the next GCO of TacCom, this of course required him to step down from Commander of the **Marines** and with his XO **Jack L Smith** retiring there would be no one else to bring in but his HDI **First Lieutenant Samuel Emerson.** Emerson was a fantastic HDI and changed the DI Program forever and lead the **Marines** in the war with Covenant Empire to a close in on the 9th September, ending the longest running war in history. But as a CO was pushed into the position and felt out of touched and not interested, he ended up going rogue and poaching half the branch to join NSW in November.

With this betrayal, it left the **Marines** in a pretty bad spot, with the only member of staff left, Company Commander **Second Lieutenant Amber Palmer** who by all accounts had been a fantastic CC and excellent with troop management and everyone in the **Marines** really did look up to her so she decided to try however with no HIGHCOM or other leadership choices she felt she couldn't hold it and had to step down after witnessing some political debate in HIGHCOM which should not have occurred.

**2021**

Due to the lack of staff or proper leadership to take it's place due to the uncomfortable position it was left in, High Command made the choice for a short time to merge the leadership of both the **Marines** and **ODSTS** with having **Captain Michael Crespo**, **Sergeant Major Quinn Wells**, **First Sergeant John L Sands,** **Gunnery Sergeant Victor Canfield** as CO > XO > OPSO > HDI respectably. Over the course of January the **ODSTS** would slowly help fix gaps in the ranks and train up a new staff team and would slowly fiddle out and on the 24th of January the **ODSTS** would fully leave ship and leaving in place for the third time in a row; **First Lieutenant Jason D Price** has taken the the role, after transferring from his position as Spartan-III OPSO, he made the decision to join only to help out at first however with the only other person suitable for CO still needing time to adjust to how High Command works, **Jason** agreed to opt in. And while **Jason** worked his ass off to prove himself, once again the **Marines** needed secure and proper leadership and **Jason** once again while was a good CO he just wasn't the right person and the decision to send him back to his SIII OPSO position on April 2nd.

Given the state and the branches slow decline from all angels, High Command and **Marine Staff** knew they couldn't just throw the next in line into the position it had to be thought out; while **Amber** was going to be the next CO she needed someone first to properly mentor and train her, and with onyl a handful of COs who were still active, in contact with and ready to come out of retirement and after much talking to old Commanding Officer's and they found someone who could offer exactly what they needed; and enter his second run at it, **First Lieutenant Sarge M Golfer**.

Now **Sarge** would be reinstated as CO under strict guidelines but with these guidelines was able to keep the branch operational and afloat for Amber Palmer to take over in July. And finally on July 6th **Colonel Amber Palmer** was ready took over the helm of the **Marines**. Now **Amber** is by all standards a modern day **Jesscia**, she changed the game entirely and brought the **Marines** to major strides, she got the branch to 164+ members and was able to have 6 platoons, 2 companies and for the first time in a long time had non-staff officers in the ranks along with getting Colonel and becoming the 2nd highest ranking officer in **Marine** history while also achieving the new position of Field Commander.

Her leadership was long and tested, with many people trying to undermine her ability and she showed them all. She was considered one of the power players in HIGHCOM for not stepping down and putting up a fight in with the ODSTs and agreeing with the II's when the over the ODST coup of 2021 hit. Throughout 2021 the Marines only got better and better until the new years.

**2022**

With **Amber** at the helm we would see a major switch in the marines, upon May however Amber would move into Chief of Staff of the **Marines**, deciding she had run her course and would rather sit back again and enjoy her time. In her place he XO **Colonel Troy J Murphy** stepped in and attempted to wrangle in and hold himself to how **Amber** ran the ship. However this is where issues would arise; where Officer's weren't treated or trained to be officers and onyl those with **Troy's** and **Amber**s friend group were getting high end spots, while this wasn't a big issue it was a made a big issue where the NCO's having enough held a vote and removed all of staff from their positions.

This person who held the vote and got thrown into the shoes of CO were **Lieutenant Colonel Jessica Halstead,** now with her experience and history she was clearly the right choice and pushed the **Marines**, keeping it's high 120+ member gap and retrained 5 fully functional platoons and a very confident staff team, this and relations with the **ODSTs** would be at an all time high, she was clearly coming back to her roorts.

She would follow and support **Kyle Matthews**' vote to remove MARSOC, NAVCOM and other branches claiming there isn't enough space for so many branches and it would one day tear the clan a hole. By all accounts she had done nothing wrong and the **Marines** were growing but with how she obtained her position and the feeling of backstabbing from people all over her reputation had been tainted and in August she would step down and transfer to Naval Command feeling like while she could keep the branch stable the slanders were not going to be helpful and the **Marines** especially need someone who isn't as confrontational and in drama.

Leaving in charge of the **Marines**. Was her XO **Major Jonathan Ghost**, who had always been opposing her actions and keeping her in check and attempted to mend relations as much as he could, he was a stern and cunning leader and had a way with people to get what he wanted and brought in a unique style of leading.

However as the year went on and by Christmas the entire clan had started to drift into a state of inactivity from all over including the **Marines**.

**2023**

Going into 2023 the **Marines** lost over 60 members including their CO **Jonathan Ghost** who gave up and didn't feel like mending the branch as "it wasn't what I signed up for". With the urgency of the Marines once again missing it's leader and a Marine Staff unable nor suited to up take the position. Newly elected GCO Tom Galliard made it clear the **Marines** will not falter under his watch and brought straight away began to work with people to help keep the branch operational. First he brought in people to take temporary staff spots. At first **Victor Canfield** was appointed however had to go over to the Office of Naval Intelligence to help them out. Once temporary staff kept filling in and out, it was clear the Marines in order to properly sustain themselves would need a more permanent member at the helm. There were many options on who should, some that were considered were **Victor Canfield**, **Isaac Madison, Sarge M Golfer** but in the end there was only one clear option. ODST Company Commander **First Sergeant Amber Palmer** was brought into question and while at first she declined the position she would come to terms and agree on set conditions that are only know between her and G-Staff.

Amber Palmer would transfer to the Marines on the 22nd January and for the last 6 months has gasped the Marines into submission. Her reign has once again seen the explosive rise in member count and NCO Officers. Countless former Marines during her period of COship also made a return and even Isaac Madison made the choice to transfer and take over as XO for the marines. She currently has over 130 Marines and on the 5th of July 2023 was promoted to First Lieutenant, a slow yet reassuring stance that she is well on her way to achieve Colonel once more.

On the 15th June 2023 the Marines would see a massive influx of around 30-40 members following the end of TBF and the TBFxTOC Merger, once again bringing the Marines to full strength. Pushing the numbers above 100+
