Jason 27 Posted June 7 My theory Colonel West part agency that response for at least protect Earth embassies. Fact we had Corporal Askwith on Earth embassy. Fact Colonel West one answer the questions to President trying convince the Federation President asking him to approve of operation retrieve and wearing Admiral uniform. Also suggestion agency he part did more just protect United Federation of planet embassy otherwise why would he not be call general West instead Colonel West.

Khas 12,157 Posted June 7 It's possible that Colonel West actually represents the Starfleet Marine Corps - which just normally wasn't focused on otherwise. May have even been disbanded after Star Trek VI, but before TNG, due to the Federation believing that it was no longer necessary. A decision that the Dominion War would make them deeply regret.

Jason 27 Posted June 7 No Starfleet Marine core in cannon. However taking Corporal Askwith into account at minimal Colonel West agency work for would be like the Marine Security Guard even possible that it much militarize verse of Starfleet even taking MACO into account would been do other jobs then combat.
