I remember back at Pendleton, we were assigned as the insurgents whose sole purpose was to harass our unit. We happened to stumble upon a lone Marine who was sitting on a boulder atop a hill reading a book. So we three insurgents decided we're going to take this marine into our custody. We insurgents discovered this lone Marine was a captain from Recon, who had a team inserted as an observation post all around us. We didn't even see them until they were ordered out of their positions by the captain. Against Recon, we stood no chance.

You do realize that before MARSOC stood up in 2006. Recon and Force Recon were doing Missions for SOCOM 1987-2006. From 1964-1972 for MACVSOG. From 1980 1987 for JSOC. From 1990-1999 we competed at the national evals against Delta, Devgru Tm 6, FBI HRT, NEST, various Seal tms, various ODA teams. These groups always showed up with better gear, better support and larger numbers. But each time the Recon Platoons (one D/A & one surveillance) won the evals. The personnel grading and monitoring Recon were the Delta and Team 6 guys.

It was awesome when they finally let them adopt the Raider name, that was a big battle with Headquarters Marine Corps. Much the same misson set as SF, but with the amphibious capability. Like if SF & SEALs had a baby. Awesome video. Still waiting for a video on the finest reconnaissance in force units in the world, Marine Light Armored Reconnaissance (LAR). I'm biased. 🙂

@InitialFailure

They're nothing like SF. SF primarily teaches as they aren't commandos but rather build commandos. SEALs are a form of Commando but with significantly more training than MARSOC members. SEALs also have a completely different mission set. MARSOC still struggles to find their mission set as every capability they have is already better served by another elite unit either outside of or within the Marines. How could I possibly know any of this? I was with MARSOC in 2009 Herat, AFG, when they didn't leave the wire for over a month, so I left to continue supporting the Army ODA teams or trident teams elsewhere. I'm not trying to mock or make fun of MARSOC. I am being honest and pointing out that they have almost no reason to exist and have disbanded and reactivated numerous times due to a lack of purpose.

@usmcvet0313 Army SF or ARSOF are primarily trainers/teachers. I mean, no disrespect. However, people get this wrong quite a bit; Army Special Forces (The Green Berets) are first and foremost combat advisors. They themselves are not commandos, but rather they make commandos. The closest Army unit that does what you're referring to as a primary (but broadly speaking set of) mission is the Rangers who are not SF but rather are Special Operations. Rangers can do amphibious operations as well, but that's moot as we all know the largest amphibious assault by the U.S. military didn't require Marines anyways (see operation overlord), and amphibious operations weren't used at all during GWOT. Maybe it's my outside view that is the differing issue, but even speaking with Marines (the para legal, some team guys, the Gunny I was attached to) at Herat, the overall consensus was that MARSOC would die out for a lack of purpose. All of the MARSOC fellas I stayed in contact with left MARSOC to enter civilian life or joined other branches SOCOM or SF units. What specific mission can they do that SEALs, Rangers (as well as specialized units/elements within Ranger), Marine infantry (as well as some of the specialized units within conventional Marine Infantry units) can't?

@@InitialFailure They are the Marine Corps SOCOM component. They are forward deployed on MEUs around the world, ready to immeadiatly respond in the area. They are a SOCOM unit that can seamlessly integrate with a MAGTAF. They're not going anywhere, if anything the Marine Corps will expand their numbers. The reason you don't see career Raider operators is because the Marine Corps designed it that way. The Corps was hesitant to field a SOCOM unit in the first place, because they don't want Marines to be outside the Marine Corps chain of command. Now they rotate Marines in & out of MARSOC for 2 reasons: 1) they want the Raiders to take the lessons/training they learn back to the regular units, 2) They want Raiders to be Marines first, SOCOM operators second. SEALs can associate themselves with SOCOM more than they do with the Navy, the same can go with other SOCOM units as well. The Marine Corps does not want this.

If your trying to figure out the difference between Marine Recon and Marine Raiders I’ll tell you it’s 1 thing, FUNDING. Raiders get better equipment and because of this go on more intense missions. I believe in terms of skill they are near the same but you always get better with better gear and better training so the Raiders very slightly beat out Recon but they are virtually the same.

I think in the near future there will be another restructuring of USSOCOM because of all the overlapping issues. One way will be to merge all tier 1 units into one Special Operations Unit each giving up their own identity to become a new unit. I think USSOC field some of the best units out there, but is becoming somewhat “deep” with units which lead to a lot of redundancy which is both a positive,in terms of having the ability to field and diverse group of units and negative, haveing all of the overlap to the point of not needing as much diversity,especially with these autonomous systems coming online. There is one unit that I would like to see you do a segment on and this unit has been disbanded I believe but it represented a need in the Army that got marginalized for a plethora of reasons but still have battlefield relevance and that unit was/is the Army Long Range Surveillance and Reconnaissance Units

They are absolutely not going to restructure to one unit. More likely scenario is some teams will go away and down sizing will happen. SOF as a whole is massively inflated due to GWOT and has expanded about 300% and budget has increased nearly 800% since GWOT. I can see SEALS and MARSOC both dropping down to about 1500 total in each unit. Rangers drop down to about 2,800. What a lot people down know is DEVGRU is about the same size as normal Seal community. I can see their numbers being reduced by half. They were almost disbanded before 9-11. Delta I can see being reduced by half as well. METL will change again and teams will get a more dialed in mission set again. Just like the old days when budget was tight.

EXCEPT FOR RED CELL!! Idk if anyone on here is reading this or if yall do read this if yall have ever heard of Red Cell? But if not I’ll explain, they took this Captain and his team from a badass Seal Team and made them a high classified team that did shit that NO OTHER SPECIAL OPS team was ever assigned, they were so good they mastered psychological warfare and dressed up like terrorists and counter terrorism OTHER terrorists to make it look like it was someone else then those two peoples would go to war THEN they were so good doing practice runs to make their selves better they took down Air Force One and actually took the President and did it so badass that it embarrassed them so bad that they disbanded them and most of them or at least the Captain now resides in prison

If they do they should just use the same promo video from the game. I would see about joining again to be ODST.

Do they still have MEU SOC and MSPF?

If I chew strike gum, will that make me high speed. SEMPER FI GUYS, GREAT VID.🇺🇸

All Marines within itself are special forces.

Can you do Arizona state troopers next

Hey brother, just found your channel. Good video, factually correct, respectful and informative. I would urge people who aren't aware of SARC's before watching this video to find some info on them as they are well respected in the community, taking 3 yeas to complete ther pipeline. And are some of the best combat trauma medics in he world.

I’m waiting for the space force to activate the spartan program

I'm getting into shape for the navy intelligence or air force special forces, or recon marines wish me luck

Can do video on Army calvary scouts

I remember in 96 when the Marine Corps decided to create MARSOC and leave the integrated “RECON” platoons. Frankly, the Marine Corps grew tired of the SEALS and their inability to integrate into Marine units and listen to orders. Consequently, MARSOC was reborn.

Interesting there are no desert teams. All the wars now are fighting in desert areas.

MARINES LEAD THE WAY OORRAAHHH

Coolest dudes I’ve ever worked with on deployment 🙏🏾

DOes anyone remember Sir John Marjinov? US Marine knighted by the Queen for his service in WWII with the Raiders. Give me a big OOOH-RAH if you do.

Force should be part of MARSOC/SOCOM. MAGTF would still have Battalion Recon

Battalion Recon is not sufficient enough for the mission statement, whether it’s MEI or MAGTF. I was in Battalion before I was Force. Apples and Oranges.

The reestablishment of the Marine Raiders, id est, Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command ( MARSOC) ,on 24 February AD 2006, @ Stone Bay, MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and , brought on into United States Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM, HQ MacDill AFB, Tampa ( Hillsborough County) , Florida) , with a Reconnaissance Marine and Detachment One background , brings the best of Battlefield Badasses and Special Operations Forces Super Marines , both Special Operations Officers ( MOS 0370) and Critical Skills Operators ( MOS 0372) , merging MAGTF mindset with Marine Commando fame. Thank GOD ( Father, Son, Holy Spirit) that the United States of America has the Marine Raiders. Semper Fidelis and Spiritus Invictus, Always Faithful Always Forward. 🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🌎⚓🪖💣💥🔥🪂🤿🛡️🗡️‼️

Hey, question: could critical skill operators go to dog handler school, or is that strictly for MPs?

Once got demolished by raiders in a nerf war at a marine RSS,shit happened so quick i didnt even have time to shit my pants when they shot the recruiter just to piss him off after they got us

If you even look into a little bit the math of using a firearm in space or even in orbit you will learn how doing so will be almost immediate self-dealing

We definitely need an Army SFAB V.S. Air Force CAA

If MARSOC ever decides to add a detachment with just a Direct Action, QRF, and Hostage Rescue focus. They gotta reintroduce Battalion 1/9 ‘the Walking Dead’. That would make them ‘Marine Raider Bn. 1/9’. Keep the story of the Walking Dead alive 💪🏽

Damn, I didn’t know they had night vision Oakleys

would it be better to go into the army or marines? I wanna go infantry and hope to be into the special operations community

Go army infantry and get that big fat bonus that the Marines don't even offer. It was up to $50,000 last I heard. You can go to ranger school or maybe sfas or your a good enough soldier. That's what id do. If and when you make it to spec ops then it really won't matter what branch your in you'll be doing pretty much the same shit as the next team.

The Army makes up the lion share of US Special Operations. If for some reason you are not selected, the Army will place you in an infantry unit. Unfortunately, if you join anu other branch and don't get selected then you are needs of the branch means they will put you were ever they need bodies. You could a cook or admin or motorpool or any noncombat related job.

US Army. 11x Option 40 contract aka Ranger contract. Don't even consider anything else. The 75th Ranger Regiment is the best light infantry unit in the US military and it's part of SOCOM. It's the most deployable unit and has the best opportunities. The 75th is what every good infantryman wishes his unit was. Or be a dumbass and sign a USMC infantry contract and spend the next 4+ years of your life regretting it because 'peacetime' Marine Corps does jack shit and their garrison life and internal politics is literally suicide fuel. Worse than any of the other branches. There is a reason the Corps has the lowest re-enlistment rate in the US military.

MARSOC should have a Reserve Component and Raider Warrant Officers.

The Marine Corps will never do this. As with officers, they will always require active duty time prior to joining the reserves.

What about force recon? I thought they were special forces

DRESS BLUES & TENNIS SHOES ????? WHY DOES THE ARMY FREQUENTLY CHANGE THEIR VARIOUS UNIFORM DESIGNS ??? ( KICKBACKS FOR SOME UPPER TIER BRASS ???? )

This is not meant as a critic of the US military, but am genuinely curious. As an outsider it seems like there a exceptionally many SF units in the US military. As mentioned, it is almost an anomaly, or point worth mentioning at least, that the marines only have one SF unit. I’m not saying there are too many SF soldiers, but the host of units seems un-necessary. Is it unit pride and lobbying that prevents amalgamtions? Or skillsets - because watching uploads here there sure seems to be more than a fair bit of overlap there. Or is it necessary for other reasons? As I said, not a criticism, but just curious. My admittedly small country has 2 SF units, navy and army

Variation of skill sets and missions. While they all operate under SOCOM, some redundancy is good because you’re allowed to utilize a variety of different units.

Every S.O. unit has skill sets the other units don't. That's why it's like a marching band, one can play drums super well because he played it way more than the others. The others can play their instrument as well but not as great

Honestly, it's because of service politics and bureacracy. It's the same reason why there are redundant federal agencies in the US government and nearly every one of them has their own SWAT team. If it were strictly due to military need, the only units in SOCOM would be USASOC units, e.g. 75th Ranger Regiment, Special Forces, Delta Force, and NSW units like the Navy SEALs actually sticking to their bread and butter (naval/amphibious SOF) instead of overreaching and doing what the Rangers and Delta do. Basically what they were doing pre 9/11. The reason the Navy SEALs have become the well known 'sexy' unit is no small part thanks to the Navy Dept investing a ton into PR because they've been great for Navy recruitment. Most SEAL wannabes wash out of BUD/S and can be sent to fill other roles that the Navy has a harder time filling. And politicking in SOCOM itself (nope, it's not a coincidence that the SEALs/DEVGRU got the Bin Laden mission). There is no need whatsoever for MARSOC or AFSOC. They do nothing that USASOC and NSW shouldn't be handling. There is also no need for DEVGRU or whatever they call themselves now when Delta exists. That was the whole point in creating Delta Force. To be the American version of the British SAS. If there's a greater manpower need, it makes more sense to expand these units (activate another Ranger battalion, SF Group, or whatever - then deactivate them when that manpower is no longer needed) and open recruitment to the entire US military. Allow Marines to attend RASP or SFAS or BUD/S, etc.

Definitely no crayon eating for these hard chargers.........
