USMC

The **United States Marine Corps** are a faction in BlastGen. They appear as the main friendly faction in the first game while operatives in the USMC make up some of the soldiers who are a part of the COS faction in BlastGen: Zero Ops II, and also appear as both a friendly and supporting faction in BlastGen: Modern Combat.

## BlastGen

### Campaign

The player plays as Cpl. Miller of the USMC for the entirety of the Campaign except in Takedown, where the player plays as Harris instead. The player is first introduced to the protagonist in the tutorial mission Training Montage, where the player is taught by Major Johnson basic training until the USMC camp is targeted in a terrorist attack, forcing the Marines to repel the terrorist forces and retreat. For the entirety of the war against the terrorists, Miller's team was under the command of a USMC general whose name is remained undisclosed until the team supposedly went rogue, forcing Miller to be reassigned to another team. At some point, Miller's team was sent to Washington D.C. to divert an uprising led by a USMC defector. After the events of the game, it is heavily implied that Miller's team was dissolved to prevent any information leakage.

### Multiplayer

The USMC serves as the only playable friendly faction in the game. They face the Hell's Redeemers on American maps and European maps and the Spetsnaz on Russian maps. No matter what map is being played on, the USMC models will always the desert camouflage uniform; this was remedied in the remastered version so that depending on the map, the USMC would sport a different camouflage. The USMC faction was the main faction that went through the most changes in the remastered version, gaining entirely new models that were recycled from the Campaign. The battlechatter remains largely unchanged except it sounds much more clear.

Some of the American strike team members, such as Riflemen, are generally USMC soldiers, though some have the chance of being Navy SEALs.

## Trivia

* The USMC was a planned faction in BlastGen: Zero Ops, but were replaced by Delta force at some point. The uniforms of the USMC from BlastGen were reused for some of the Delta Force soldiers in Zero Ops but with different patches.
* The announcer for the USMC in BlastGen is Sgt. Hill from the Campaign.
* It was widely considered that the USMC made up most of the COS operators in the Campaign, evident by some of the soldiers in the Campaign having USMC style patches. However, this was denied by Travis, who said that the COS "borrow some features from other real life military forces, but are an entirely original concept."
