MACO

A MACO soldier

Military Assault Command Operations (abbreviated MACO) was a unit of Special Forces operated by the Earth government in the mid-22nd century. MACO troops were assigned to the USS Enterprise in the third and fourth seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise during the campaign against the Xindi. Unlike later Federation ground forces, MACO troops were not part of Starfleet.
