DDS Terrestrial Forces to form "space marines"

Following on from ISSF's creation of 3 space combat orientated Prowler units (which will become operational early next year) DDS Terrestrial Forces is to also have troops trained in space combat. The 1st Infantry Brigade will have a Space Reconnaissance Company from late 2114 or early 2115.

The SRC will work with the ISSF's Space Prowlers (an unofficial name but one which seems to be sticking) in providing shipboard protection, supporting counter-terrorism and guarding DDS spaceports. The eventual aim is for there to be a separate "Space Infantry Brigade" though this is unlikely before the end of the decade.
