[@Sosa_Actual]

Im rolling with the Liaison's, im bilingual & Patient, & only see combat when need be, how copy over..

[@terrarecon]

To be clear, the tier system is not part of nor used by SOCOM. These terms emerged from outside the official SOCOM structure, and the military doesn't officially classify units in this way.

[@Grid88]

Absolutely correct

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Cool explanation of different roles.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I doubt MARSOC will be around by FY2034. The Marines may down size soon ....

[@Sarge0311]

12yrs as a 0311 I would roll with FAST !!

[@warrenlewis3977]

Who did you serve with?

[@Grappler2502]

Not to take anything away from them but FORECON is not special operations. They are studs but technically they do not report through SOCOM.

[@joesapienza8121]

Correct but they are special operations capable.

[@defilade1066]

Doesn't matter. They have seen plenty of combat.

[@terrarecon]

No our Force Recon does not report to SOCOM and we like it that way. Never wanted to be part of SOCOM to begin with and the Marine Corps was forced to bring Marine Raiders back into existence because some people in government hate to be told no. So now Force Recon can stay where they always belonged and Raiders can fill the SOCOM gap. In the words of Doc Holiday, "there now we can all be friends again."

[@Grappler2502]

@@defilade1066 It does matter......the 82nd Airborne "has seen plenty of combat" also, but that does not make them special operations.

[@Grappler2502]

@@terrarecon sure I get it, the Marine Corps wants to maintain control of their recon units, no problem. But with that control comes all of the conventional unit stupidity and limitations. Lower training budget, limited mission-sets, crappy equipment, slower promotions, less pay, silly rules, etc. etc.

Thank you for your service for the country sir.

[@americanosbadassius9292]

Seems like there's a lot of redundancy here. All of these jobs look like they can be covered by Force Recon, Recon or MARSOC. Maybe some of these units fall under the umbrella of Recon, so that would make sense. Still, they all sound like very cool jobs.

[@kraccusblack1022]

The Marine Corp is full of redundancy . Every Marine a rifleman its built into there culture. Had a buddy in boot camp from PR. Dude was a machine. PT and could handle his own. His mos was sanitation. Remember the Corps gets the least funding of all the services. They make due with what they have on hand at the time. So that redundancy is on purpose.

[@americanosbadassius9292]

@@kraccusblack1022 There's probably a lot I don't understand about the founding of the military, but it seems like the Marine Corps has always been underserved. If we've got enough money to give away billions to foreign crony "allies" of the illegal Biden Administration, who've usurped power from the true president and The People, then I don't see why they can't slide a billion or two to the Corps. It's weird, because if the military is going to back the play of a bunch of azzholes who would deem themselves our kings, you would think that the Powers would grant the Corp more money. However, it does seem that the Marine Corps is the service that is least rolled into this new regime of traitorous assholez

[@lowrideralternatives7581]

I wish US-Marine Corps has theyre own version of Devgru And Delta-Force

[@terrarecon]

It's long, so first off I apologize. Marine Corps was DEVGRU (in capacity) before SEALs were even a thing. The Marine Corps belongs to the Navy. Part of Its primary purpose was to allow the sailors to do naval things (manage ships) while Marines provided security and were committed to direct force on force. After the Marine Raiders of WWII was disbanded Marine Recon was further developed into Force Recon in the 1950's. The Navy provided funding and later pulled/reduced said funding and decided that they wanted their frogmen underwater demolition guys under the Navy banner to become an elite small force on force unit. The Navy used the training template of Force Recon to get things rolling for SEALs. Technically, all the Navy did was halt the evolution of Force Recon and redirect existing resources to create a redundant initial copy cat of Force Recon, and then evolve the SEALs to where they are now. The missions the SEALs do are very needed, the SEALs as an organization was never needed, because the Navy through the Marine Corps already had Force Recon that could have had a separate unit specially designated for rotation of the missions SEALs do now. It's not a SEAL diss, those guys are patriots because they are dedicated Americans, not because they are in the SEALs. This is a prime example of how our government wastes money and creates countless agencies within the military as well as non-military, such as the FBI, ATF, and DEA. Why not just have special FBI units that focus on those areas instead of recreating the wheel??
