( ENT: " The Expanse", " Home", " These Are the Voyages.") Enterprise NX-01 had MACO units assigned to its mission as late as 2161. In 2154, Jonathan Archer advised the captain of Columbia NX-02, Hernandez, to ask for a squad of MACOs. The decision to carry these units was left up to individual starship captains, and was not a formal policy of Starfleet Command at the time. This practice was a reaction to the devastating Xindi attack on Earth, and subsequent mission into the Delphic Expanse in response.

Starfleet must have existed in 2136, as Margaret Mullin turned down Archer's proposal of marriage, since she did not want to become a "Starfleet widow." ( ENT: " Vox Sola", " Horizon", " Twilight") Furthermore, the series bible for Star Trek: Enterprise referred to the organization as having been in existence for "less than twenty years" prior to 2151. While UESPA already existed in the 2060s according to VOY: " Friendship One", Starfleet was presumably founded in the mid- 2130s, as Jonathan Archer gave some thought to join the Earth Cargo Service a few years before Starfleet was chartered, and 2134 was his senior year in college. The primary authority of Starfleet was referred to as either Starfleet Command or the United Earth Space Probe Agency (UESPA), and was located at Starfleet Headquarters in the city of San Francisco, Earth. Prior to 2161, Starfleet was the primary space exploration organization of United Earth in the early to mid- 22nd century.
