*[[12th Marine Regiment]] — (''APP-6A'': '''MAR ||| 12''') Spread out across Viery <ref group="note">It's currently unknown if the 12th Marine Regiment that fought during the Battle of Viery is a Field Artillery unit like it's [[Wikipedia:12th Marine Regiment (United States)|predecessor]] that served in [[China]] and during the [[World War II|Second World War]], the [[Wikipedia:Vietnam War|Vietnam War]], the [[Wikipedia:Persian Gulf War|Persian Gulf War]], and during the [[Wikipedia:War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|War in Afghanistan]]. Although, as it contains four battalions (1/12, 3/12, 4/12, and 5/12) unlike it's 21st century equivalent (1/12 and 3/12), it could be suggested that the 12th Marines in 2552 have transitioned to an infantry regiment.</ref>
