Divisions
Vanguard Tactical Assault Corps
The first and last thing you see when the airlock opens…
The mission of the Vanguard Tactical Assault Corps (VTAC) is to capture, destroy and repel enemy ground forces and to execute any other orders deemed fit of the range of Vanguard operations. VTAC units often operate, but are not limited to, within close range of the enemy: engaging in combat from ground bases, urban environments, space stations, or the confines of boarded vessels in a range of gravitational environments.
Rangers
Operatives who specialise in utilising stealth and special tactics to track down and eliminate specific targets.
Versatile. Professional. Dependable.
Ranger Division deploys individual operatives and small teams to seek out, pursue, and eliminate targets wherever they may be. Rangers are adept combatants on land and in space, specializing in stealth, e-warfare, and special weapons and tactics to eliminate their quarry. These members often operate independently, and relish in the thrill of hunting the most dangerous game to the darkest corners of the ‘verse… you can run, but you’ll only die tired.
Vanguard Mechanized Assault Corps
For the stubborn problems
The Vanguard Mechanized Assault Corps (VMAC) provides vehicular fire support, transportation, surface-to-air , and air-to-ground strike capabilities to Marine task forces. These warriors deploy armored vehicles and aircraft to destroy enemy assets and fortifications. These units are also capable of protecting allied VTAC units from small arms fire and aerial strikes while providing enhanced mobility to the combat force.
Requirements
Organization Membership Restrictions
You may not be a member of any external mercenary or paramilitary organizations, as the potential conflict of interest is too great.
Equipment Ready
All members of the VMF will be prepared. This means maintaining , and keeping personal weaponry and uniform at the ready. During boarding actions, or if you need to eject from a damaged vessel, you must be prepared to defend yourself until you can be returned to the fleet.
