Because everyone knows the USMC is better then the US Army lol... Just a compilation of sketches. Lav-27 will be in the comic, as a LAV-7 police variant.

Seriously though, the USMC is one of the best fighting forces in RS; or, at least the most mobile. The USMC infantry are based around the M8A2 rifle, a highly modified XM8. It fires a 6.8x43mm round, which mixes the accuracy and range of the 5.56x45 with the stopping power of the 7.62x51. The M8A2 also features a picatinny rail system which the XM8 lacked. Still, for the most part, the standard red dot reflex sight found on the G36 and XM8 are still used. (Squad leaders and Fire Team leaders usually have some form of 4x optic instead) The M8A2 comes in a heavy barrel sniper version, which is not used by the USMC and another heavy barrel Squad automatic version which is to replace the M27 Automatic Rifle (the venerable M249 and M240 Bravo are still in service as of 2050, highly upgraded of course). The M320's on the M8A2 are connected to the Headgear Subsystem (FFW).

The Headgear subsystem was originally found on NA War era Marines and Army soldiers. The exact same system was employed on WW3 era Marines and Army soldiers. It works very much like the AWE system used by Canadian soldiers, giving soldiers increased situational awareness, a 180 degree view, while a map also gives soldiers 360 degree view and a constantly updated view of all known friendlies and enemies as well as zones marked for artillery, air strikes and orbital strikes.

The Scorpion Ceramic is also very much like the Canadian COFW, but the American system better protects the lower stomach and groin area. The large piece around the ribcage gives full protection from fragmentation artillery and grenades as well as small arms fire. The lower section is not quite as strong, but it is very effective against small arms fire and is usually good against grenades at a decent distance. Scorpion Ceramic is modular similar to COFW, but not to the same degree. When fully armoured, it is also heavier then COFW.

When is this uniform, soldiers are also fully protected against nuclear/biological attacks, meaning the soldiers don't have to rush into bio warfare suits. Of course, armour doesn't need to worry about bio attacks...

The tank pictured here is th American M12A1 Westmoreland. It replaced the M2A4 MacArthur, a problematic design from the 2020's. The Westmoreland features a Cold Fusion reactor, being on the of the first tanks to run solely on the new type of energy. It is capable of 60mp/h a fairly large jump from the Abrams (40) and MacArthur (35). From an armour standpoint, the Westmoreland is essentially unchanged from the tank it replaced. It features depleted uranium, then ceramic, and then liquid reactive steel plates. It also features the same gun as the MacArthur, a 155mm smoothbore canon. In Korea during WW3, Westmoreland's effectively replaced field artillery and howitzers for the USMC. Just one more thing adding to the Americans superior mobility.

Adding to this are the Lav-27 (immediately below the Westmoreland), the USMC's main APC, and the M6A2 Lopez, the Army's IVF. The Lav-27 is essentially the same as the Canadian LAV-7, but without the liquid reactive steel plates, those being replaced by older and lighter ERA. The Canadian Lav-7 uses a 27 mm Mauser while the Lav-27 uses a GAU-9 30mm. Similar to the LAV-7, both come standard with SLAT armor (the bars rapping around the tank).

The M6A2 Lopez, named after a Unit 731 sniper and Medal of Honor recipitant from the NA War, is an APC based of the Israeli Namer IFV. The M6A2 is the same design, but different, lighter, more modern, materials. This makes it much better for an expeditionary force, or for fighting in bad terrain. Unlike the M2 Bradley it replaced, the M6A2 can be used in amphibious landings, using the same system as the Sheridan tank, the only other American tank or APC (aside from the AAV-7A1) capable of safely crossing large bodies of water without modifications. Of course, calling the M6A2 simply an APC is almost insulting. These can also be used as tank busters, launching MBGM-79 (modified AGM-98 missiles) missiles. These can be fired from 10 km and accurately hit a target, giving it 6 km over the standard 4 km engagement range of most MBT's. It's main gun, a 30mm (the same as the one the Lav-27) is also extremely effective against tanks as well as any other targets.

Well, Semper Fi!
