Thank you david for answering the question. So more marines are coming but as of the end of flashfire they have not made it onplanet yet to join the fighting. two will be any additional army units in firestorm that were not menition in flashfire briefing scenes.

I forget... but does the entire fist go on an offworld mission, or just the infantry?

We have had a mission (Blood Contact) on which one platoon went on a mission, and another (Technokill) on which one company was deployed. Otherwise, every deployment in the series had an entire FIST. Unlike today's army, the Marines take their own air support with them when they go in harm's way.
