The Terran Coalition of Man (QUAKE), not to be confused with the Global Defense Force (GDF) which operates on Earth, is the branch of Earth’s combined military that acts as an expeditionary force in the counter-invasions of Stroggos in retaliation for the Strogg attack on Earth.



History

Presumably its origins lie in the Global Defense Force or GDF, the main body of Earth’s defending armies that repelled the Strogg invasion. However, the TCM is much better equipped, with two planetary assault ships and drop pods used to invade the Strogg homeworld. It is unclear how the TCM was formed but it may have been created as a response to the Strogg invasion, and its assault ships and much of its weapons may have been developed using captured Strogg technology from the invasion. The GDF, while possibly defunct, lies within the command sphere of the TCM.

The TCM possesses high technology enough to go toe-to-toe with the Strogg military on the aliens’ own soil. This is coupled with elite training to make the marines exceptionally effective against the Strogg and anythings else that comes their way..

Manifesto

Talk shit, get hit.

Charter

The TCM have an odd way of troop-level organization. All soldiers are organized into Squads, each named after animals with their own insignia. Despite the name, Squads seem to work more like platoons, or companies with warrant officers as primary officers and sergeants as squad leaders. Despite being infantry, Squads seem to have members in all forms of military with multiple squads having soldiers who operate equipment on the USS Hannibal.

The number of personnel in a Squad seems to be schizophrenic, ranging from Rhino Squad, with nine members, to Raven Squad, with sixty three. It is most likely that Squads have their own specific occupation; Rhino Squad being a small and elite special operations force and Raven Squad being a larger, more contemporary military force.

Military specialists come in two forms; combat medics and technicians.
