US Marines

The United States Marine Corps is a mentioned only organization.

Background
The Marine Corps would be responsible for protecting Navy facilities, especially black sites such as Sugar Grove in Appalachia, the Mount Desert Island Naval Facility at Mount Desert Island, and the Turtledove Detention Camp in Point Lookout. The Marines were also responsible for rounding up civilians for internment in accordance with Executive Order 99066, but due to a shortage of manpower, the USMC would hand these contracts to private military contractors. The Marines also participated in war games with other military assets, such as Taggerdy's Thunder. Despite their veteran status, certain Marines would be left with poor jobs upon returning from service, such as bagging groceries. The Marines' Hymn, plays on Enclave Radio.

Appearances
The United States Marine Corps is mentioned in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, its add-on Honest Hearts, Fallout 4, its add-on Far Harbor, Fallout 76, and its update One Wasteland For All.

Behind the scenes
Hank Madigan: "Was. Not sure that really applies anymore." Melody Larkin: "Cause you quit the Brotherhood." Hank Madigan: "Our interests no longer aligned." Maria Chavez: "And why is that, exactly? Brotherhood's been a good ally to us. Taking you on could be seen as an act of bad faith." Hank Madigan: "Taggerdy's Brotherhood was a fine organization. Maxson's Brotherhood's only cares about locking away every bit of technology they can get their hands on. I was a fire fighter before the war. It's my opinion that looking after the people of Appalachia should be top priority. From what I've heard, Responders do too." Maria Chavez: "I'm guessing Paladin Taggerdy didn't recruit a fire fighter because she liked how you looked in fatigues. What were you before your civilian life?" Hank Madigan: "Marine Recon." Melody Larkin: "No shit." Maria Chavez: "And why would the Responders need a Marine-turned-Brotherhood defector in their midst?" Hank Madigan: "Because I guarantee you don't have someone like me. I find things. People. Supplies. Solutions. And I'm good at it. You guys have a lot of mouths to feed and a lot of people to keep safe. I can help you do both. All I ask is regular rations and my own bunk." Melody Larkin: "And how do we know you ain't just sellin' us a bill of goods?" Hank Madigan: "I'm willing to prove it. Gimme a job. I'll show you what I can do." Melody Larkin: "How would you feel about getting back into a fire suit?" (Maria Chavez, Hank Madigan and Melody Larkin's dialogue)
