The U.S. Marine Corps in 2000
Every Marine a rifleman.
The U.S. Marine Corps of the year 2000 is but a mere shadow of its near legendary pre-war self. Although most current Marine officers and NCOs are members of the veteran "Old Breed"- pre-war volunteers or stateside-trained, early war draftees- many of them began the war as REMFs, working crucial but largely non-combat jobs "in the rear with the gear", or serving in the now nearly non-existent Marine aviation units. Over one third of all other junior enlisted Marine infantry are beached seamen (or, less commonly, grounded airmen), hastily trained in Europe and injected into Marine combat units as late-war replacements. Despite its weakened state, the Marine Corps of 2000 somehow manages to maintain its espirit-de-corps and continues to be a formidable fighting force.
