OASI, Orbital Assault Shock Infantry
"OASI is the first to step foot into hell"

The Orbital Assault Shock Infantry (OASI) are an elite group of MFMC Marines that specialize in special warfare tactics. The OASI's are one of the primary Special Operations units of the Maquis Force Marine Corps, and is under the command of MFMC Maquis Forces Marine Corps.

Background The Orbital Assault Shock Infantry are a Special Operations Force in the MFMC. The OASIs are under the operational authority of MFMC. Their methods of operation allow them to conduct missions against targets that more conventional forces cannot approach undetected. OASIs are recruited from the Special Operations Groups of all Areas of the Known Universe and is a strictly all volunteer force. Potential OASIs are selected because of their performance in their chosen MOS, every OASI candidate is a veteran from another Special Operations outfit and therefore have already gone through at least two layers of screening and months of intense training — not counting the years of training received before volunteering for the OASIs. There is no age or gender bias — as long as the candidate meets the physical and mental requirements they are guaranteed the opportunity to try out for the OASIs. Once in the OASIs, a candidate's training continues - its entrance requirements serve as a third layer of screening upon two more, where applicants would have theoretically failed to pass. Candidates would, therefore, already have extensive experience in conducting the types of high-risk missions that the Orbital Assault Shock Infantryman typically perform.
