Posse Comitatus or something else? My understanding is that PC does not apply to the Marines.

The USN/MarCorps aren't covered by PC. There are other statutory and regulations that forbid their participation in these types of festivities, because the AD are Title 10 forces.

NG if federalized are Title 10 forces as well, and then PC would apply to them. Currently the deployments of NG you see are under Title 32 and while paid for by the Feds, are under state command and control.

You are correct, but it doesn't matter because of the above.

Understood. Thanks for the explanation.

Can the US Marshal’s service deputize people?

We have US Marshalls here all the time - TVA Police (a federal agency) are US Marshalls. But there aren’t a ton of them, and they have a pretty wide area to cover.

Now, can the military provide surveillance and such to support the marshals, FBI, or other entities? In other words, can military assets be used to gather information for future arrest by the proper entities?
