'''Space Marines''' are [[infantry]] specially trained to fight in both normal and zero-gravity environments.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 341</ref>  While most ships have their own Marine contingents, the largest of these was for many years unheard-of.  Working in secrecy for decades on [[WarShip]]s that were unknown to the entire [[Inner Sphere]], the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] WarShip Fleet Marines developed many skills in close quarter combat for fighting aboard space vessels.  These skills came in handy during the [[Jihad]], as many fleet battles often degenerated into boarding actions.<ref name=TR85>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 204</ref>
