History
A Marine company of 150 Marines was deployed on the USS Swiftfire-A at the beginning of the Dominion War. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "Deployment") The company had an unusual command structure with a Colonel in charge and Majors commanding platoons. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "Section 214C")
Prior to her service on the USS Swiftfire-A Rachel Daley, at that time a captain, was in command of a Marine company in the Mobile Response Force. That company saw action against the Dominion on several worlds, outposts and starbases in the opening months of the war. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "Section 214C")
