Answer · 7 letters
MARINES
MARINES is the seven-letter group identified by Semper Fi, the shortened form of Semper Fidelis. The Marine Corps' own public material explains the motto as always faithful. The answer names the members collectively, so the plural ending matters.
Different crossing letters? Check another fit →The motto is the identifier
Semper Fi is a shortened version of Semper Fidelis. Translating it as always faithful explains the phrase, but ALWAYSFAITHFUL is not the requested entry: the clue asks which group uses it.
Members, not the five-letter organization word
MARINES has seven letters and names the service members as a group. CORPS has five letters, and MARINE has six, so neither fits this recorded entry. Use the crossings to check the plural -S rather than dropping it.
