History
Before the foundation of the Republic, the United Nations Space Exploration Force was the major force to exploring the vase space. With 81 ships, the UNSEF made sure that the colonies were in order, and the independent organization in space were following protocol. After the foundation of the Republic, the UNSEF was dissolved into the Republic National Militia. The Republic National Militia, or RNM was a lite version of the Republic Army. The RNM only lasted for 30 years after the foundation. After the majority of planets were included, the RNM was transformed into the Republic Recon Core

Post-Foundation
The RRC was originally apart of the Republic National Navy, but with the massive amount of navy men transferring to the RRC, the Republic National Congress separated the Recon Core from the Navy in the 2600 National Military Reformation Bill. The RRC would be a smaller branch of the other branches, at about 55,000 soldiers. Compared to the Army's 24.4 Million, or the Navy's 18.9 Million, the Recon Core was seen as the more reserved, high ranked branch.

Structure
The RRC is leaded by a Senior Recon General, who sees over the entire core. They lead with the Consul of Specialist, who guide over the 13 Divisions of the core. Each division is lead by a Senior Recon Captain, who has his/her own consul. Every new enlisted soldier is known as a Recon Initiate.
