A data point for the future - the Marines are part of the Navy. The Coast Guard operates under the Dept Homeland Security. It used to be under the Dept of Transportation. Not to take away from your discussion, just kind of interesting.
Well, I'm not sure what you're asking, exactly. The Coast Guard is considered military, but they are not part of the DoD
Even though the Coast Guard is not a part of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), the Coast Guard is part of the United States Armed Forces (also known as the military). Technically, the Coast Guard is both a federal law enforcement agency and military branch within the Department of Homeland Security. Aug 2, 2022
They switched from Dept of Trans to the Dept of Homeland Sec when DHS was established, post 9/11.
The border patrol is also part of DHS, but they are not considered military, they are a federal agency
United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the largest federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, ...
And the Border Patrol has federal jurisdiction for 100 miles inland at every US border.
As far as the Marines:
The Marines Operate as a Part of the Department of the Navy
The Marine Corps is the only branch that is independent but serves as part of another branch. Originally, the branch was founded as the Continental Marines in 1775, as a separate entity from the Navy. Then, in 1834, President Andrew Jackson expressed that he wanted the Marines to be part of the Army. However, the then-Marine Corps commandant, Archibald Henderson, had proven the branch’s effectiveness on sea, in addition to land, and so he persuaded Congress to put the Marines in the Department of the Navy. The Navy and Marine Corps have been considered “sister services” ever since.
The thing that got my noggin joggin is the DHS stuff. They have so many special powers, as an agency established during a "national emergency." And they are considered a federal law enforcement agency. Like .... the F B I?
