Aerospace Forces
The UCR Aerospace Forces is the primary naval warfare branch of the UCR military, tasked with defending UCR territories against aggressive actions, providing security for merchant shipping, supporting relief operations and project the UCR's power abroad. Additionally, the Aerospace Forces also transport Marine Expeditionary Forces to locations where they are needed.
Citadel Charter 2576 - 2584
In the aftermath of the UCR - UEG War in 2576, the UCR along with Exon, UEG, and Cineris government signed the Citadel charter which put forth several clauses and regulations on future galactic wars, one of which was limiting the size of each of the signatories' navies to 1,000 combatant ships. In accordance to the charter the UCR Aerospace Force retired the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th fleets, and started the rapid decommissioning of several older classes of vessels in favor of newer generation stealth combatants.

Marine Corp
A Marine in IPA Mk.I utilizing the suit's built in thruster pack to decent from high altitude. The Marine is also equipped with a shoulder mounted missile box.
The UCR Marine Corp (UCRMC) is the primary service branch of the UCR military responsible for conducting groundside operations, ranging from expeditionary and opposed orbital assault landings, often utilizing it's own infantry, armor, artillery, aerial, and special operations assets. The UCRMC maintains a close relation with the Aerospace Forces, relying on spaceborne ships for transportation to hot zones, and in turn provides additional security for those ships and other installations.
The Wells Mark.5 Hardsuit is utilized by the UCRMC as an alternative to the IPA for areas where full fledged powered armor units are not required.
Starting in the 2580s, the UCRMC began adopting powered armor units for doctrines concerning the nature of future conflicts.
Systems Patrol and Customs Agency
The Systems Patrol and Customs Agency (SPCA) is a relatively new branch of the UCR Armed Forces established in 2585 under the Three Front Security Act. The SPCA serves as the primary space security for civilian ships, search and rescue, tariff collection, and law enforcement branch of the military, essentially an equivalent organization to the UNSC Coast Guard. As of 2592, the SPCA has a total force of 7.2 million personnel and operates a force of 5,193 vessels, ranging in size from 120 meter long systems patrol vessels, medium scale cutters, and frigates.
