Liberty Navy 46th Fleet - Merchant Marine Division

The Merchant Marine division is primarily tasked with logistical operations in both times of war, peacetime, and peacekeeping. In all instances, the Merchant Marine Division is called upon for auxiliary support to the Main Fleet, whether in aid of supplying medical, food, and other supplies or to respond to an emergency regarding spaced contraband as may be required. Its Officers, who are fully Commissioned Officers within the Forty-sixth Fleet, are encouraged to engage in local trade runs to generate funds specifically for the Merchant Marine Division. This keeps the logistical backbone of the Fleet self-sufficient, fully prepared, and knowledgeable of logistical convoy operations. The Division has numerous ships of appropriate classes to meet their assigned task, be it adapted liners to transport personnel and civilians to and from where they need to be; or repair ships to aid the Main Fleet in combat. Whatever the Fleet needs, the Merchant Marine Division can source, haul, and deliver as required. While the bulk of the Merchant Marine Divisional assets are transports, when requiring escort, the main Fleet squadrons will normally be assigned to assist in that regard.

The standard recruitment process is to be undertaken by external personnel, be it a lateral transfer from the Secondary Fleet, or a civilian looking to join the Liberty Navy. For current active duty Officers of the Fourty-sixth Fleet, you need only advise your chain of command of your interest.
