Summary: Marshals appear to be an extremely new addition to the otherwise standard marine detachments used by the Liberty Navy. The chief difference between these units being their purposes, equipment and chain of command.

Purpose: Although this remains largely in speculation of what Marshals were trained and deployed for, they seem to have been committed and put into work by various command elements inside the Navy as well as ESRD. Mostly the latter, out of a growing concern that nomadic presence in House space had reached alarmingly levels.
Although pure speculation, it's believed that the Marshals were originally conceived and then trained by Avery Reeves, following an instance of Nomads flooding into New York from the Alaska Gate. Though it was an instance that only happened once, it certainly shook the paranoia of several key officers within pertinent positions.
The Marshals are in no way units meant to replace their more front-line oriented comrades, they're an option for situations that require a more refined approach to handling both infectees and nomadic incursions alike, composed of strike wings as well as assault groups, the rosters of which are filled by various Libertonian citizens of varying origins and service records.

Equipment: The equipment utilized by Marshals operating in the field vary from standard issue rifles to those of hybridized nature. Though observations of such instances are beyond scarce and all sightings of strike-wings under their rosters appear to use standard issue weaponry, it should be no surprise these units are granted access to equipment that is otherwise kept within closed fists.
With the exception of Dreadnought Salem, a ship augmented with so many experimental technologies that its effectiveness is truly questionable, all ships deployed and utilized by the marshals in their strike teams are standard Libertonian Naval assets, with little to no real modifications besides some sensor modifications.

Chain of Command: Marshals work in teams of four and are deployed as such, due to their small numbers, it's doubtful one would see more than one unit at any given instance, so as to not stretch their reserve thin or risk taking irrecoverable loss of personnel.
Due to the sensitive nature of waging a war against infected forces, the operations of such a unit fall squarely under the command of pertinent Naval High Command Officers and select operatives of the ESRD. With the threat of infected personnel corrupting the ranks of the Armed Forces, the Marshals have been given the right to attain arrest warrants and conduct investigations on those working under any office. The Marshals are rumored to even be capable of investigating Admirals of the numerous Fleets in the Liberty Navy as well as members of office. Although potentially pure exaggeration to illustrate the integrity of such a unit, it's said that within sufficient reason, doubt and under strict advisement, the Marshals may even have the authority to investigate and detain the President of Liberty or any other ranking official within the Government. Provided this 'strict criteria' is granted. Like many things about this unit, all of this remains speculation, hidden under the guise of rumors and stories to make the existence of the unit seem so beyond the norm that it couldn't possibly be true.
