[The Culture] Do the Culture have a ground force?

Question in the title basically. Do they have access to ground troops (or have any need to?)
gpt
Every (combat) drone is a potential ground trooper. There's no real difference for them in hovering in space, a ship or in the atmosphere. They have a lot of drones from what I've read. SC agents have weapons which can usually take on whole armies of those underdeveloped species they ~~manipulate~~ help. With ships and weapons of such precision and power ground troops would be pretty much unnecessary in all out conflict though as you could do everything from orbit I'd think.
