History
Edit
In 2153, General George Casey, at the request of Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer, assigned a detachment of MACO troops, commanded by Major Joss Hayes, to the starship Enterprise for its mission into the Delphic Expanse. (ENT episode & novelization: The Expanse)
Since the Earth Starfleet was not a military organization, MACO troops were used to fulfill any military functions needed aboard Earth Starfleet vessels. It is unknown what happened to the MACO corps after the formation of the Federation.
There were MACO posts in the city of Atlanta and the Janus loop. One of their training posts was at West Point in New York. (ENT episodes: "The Xindi", "Hatchery", "The Council") In 2155, during the Earth-Romulan War, the Military Assault Command Operations were heavily involved in the ground scale engagements against the Romulans. They were known to have suffered losses at Deneva and Berengaria VII by sneak attacks from the Romulan Star Empire. Due to Starfleet's limited number of ships, there were fears on how to get MACO troopers to the front lines without adequate ship support. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
