Captain, usually abbreviated to CAPT or Capt., is the most common Marine officer rank. Although it is generally easy to differentiate between the ranks of Starfleet and Marine captain based on context, the Marine rank is sometimes worded as "Marine Captain" or "Captain, Marines" for clarity.

Captains generally command forces of company strength, as a Company Commander. Captains also instruct at service schools and combat training centers and are often staff officers at the battalion level. Captains can also serve as Marine Commanding Officers of shipborne detachments of any strength.
