@@maxb4210 The whole thing is just a 21 day suck fest in my opinion. In one day we had a 12 mile ruck, multi-hour land nav test, 1 km swim in combat gear, 11 minute water tread (that was more like 20 minutes), and after all that we had to do intelligence and awareness tests and recite basic terminology we learned early. No breaks, no meals until the end of it, and we operated on only an hour or two of sleep. Basically, it is the same as Ranger Selection, but with more water oriented work. The hardest part of selection is integrity and personality/character. Many guys are good marines in all ways on paper, but something about their personality would clash with the guys currently in the Raider Regiment so they are cut. If you want to make it you need to be smart, have a high stress tolerance, and be able to work with and be compatible with any number of personalities. The personality is big because it isn't about being the BEST Marine, it is about being the RIGHT Marine.

Marines that are in a combat mos are trained extremely well, they stay deployed and go through everything from jungle warfare to desert warfare training. Non combat mos marines still are required to stay in top physical shape, and are all basic rifleman, they all went through SOI and train with grunt units. So all these marines you see in this video are in excellent shape , and probably have 18 to 24 months training. The marine corps will also send you or attach you to another unit for specialized training, such as NBC , special weapons, advanced combat swimming, and hand to hand combat. Im sure some of these men fall into this category as well. Camp Lejeune was my duty station for 4 years, I'm proud to have served and proud to all these men that have sacrificed to put themselves through even more phases of elite training..

As odd as it may be. Its in the name. Raiders. Their purpose was was alot more obvious back in the 1800s when the US was expanding into the asian islands and countries. The whole purpose of the marine raiders is literally, as simplistic as i could put it is to be invaders, pillage plunder raze. ATTACK ATTACK. That was their whole purpose. Essentially they were pirates, but not a very firendly descriptive word i guess. Marine Raiders purpose was to literally RAID RAID. Like ac valhalla raid. But gwot kind of changed their modus operandi, no longer “raiding”. And more of a land mobile troop than a mobile ocean force meant to raid and cause essentially chaos on enemy ocean front. But now with the end of gwot (for the most part), they can return to their purpose of ocean island raiding. And whenever the war in asia kicks off aka most likely against china, the purpose of marine raiders would be to island hop and raid enemy ocean fronts. Many dont realize but from the main branches: army, air force, marine, and navy. Marine is the only branch that has every asset built internal within the organization. And by proxy, marines should essentially be part of navy. So navy would be the only brach that has every asset built internal within its branch. It has land troops (marines), its own air force (air craft carriers), and everything else on the ships for bombing, artillery, etc.

Actually green berets specialize in augmenting and training local host nation forces to fight against common enemies. Delta are handpicked mostly from green beret A teams (SOMETIMES from rangers or airborne). Raiders are more closely related to army rangers. Whereas rangers are primarily air assault (helicopter fast rope) the raiders are amphibious (landing craft or patrol boats). Arguably the raiders can be called the marine version of navy seals BUT seals specifically take Basic Underwater Demolitions courses (BUDS), whereas raiders receive traditional ordinance training (c4 or semtex). Raiders were essentially just heavy force recon units in ww2, so i suspect the desire to bring back the moniker of “raider” has more to do with a high ranking career pencil pusher wanting a promotion for an edgy new unit organization.

Sure, just as soon as you take the joint out of your mouth and hit the gym. My advice; if you really wanna serve give yourself 6 months to get clean and workout everyday. Then join the air force. The training is much easier and the pay is still the same. If you do security forces (military police), you take a 3 month school after bootcamp where you learn how to use machine guns, grenade launchers, assault rifles, law enforcement, hand to hand combat, vehicle convoy defense, and airbase security. If it seems to easy for you after the first few years, volunteer for phoenix raven school. It’s a relatively short, but exercise intensive class where you learn how to provide advanced security for air force planes when they travel to other countries. When you graduate you are given your raven number (still only 4 digits because there are so few ravens in the air force currently). You go back to your home base and do normal security force duty, but when a mission comes up you and a small team get on a plane and fly to another country and spend a few days or weeks just standing guard around the aircraft while it is parked. Easy work (maybe a little boring), but it is fairly prestigious in the air force and you get to travel all over the world. Security forces also get to wear dark blue berets in uniform as opposed to the ugly and boring ball caps that everyone else wears in uniform. Maybe try your local air national guard station. Theyre the best kept secret in the military; all the benefits with a fraction of the work, hotter chix, better food and housing, less dangerous, great community college system, and it’s all only one weekend a month plus a week in summer.

They deploy to combat zones, wait around until friendly forces come under attack and get wounded, and then they load up in pave low helicopters and fly right into the thick of the fighting to rescue wounded soldier, marines, rangers, green berets, etc. They fast rope out of the choppers and provide advanced first aid treatment, while the aerial gunners in the chopper lay down suppressive fire with miniguns. They patch up the wounded friendlies and load them into the evac helicopter. If you ever saw Black Hawk Down, the guy who says he will make everybody margheritas was a PJ. They are right in the thick of the danger, they are beloved by all the us military special ops guys, their training is the toughest in the military, and they dont have to sleep in foxholes since they live on base near the medical station.

Force Recon is the Marine equivalent of Army SF and SEALS. MARSOC is arguably America's most advanced group most likely exceeding Delta Force.

@@dlee9726 no chance lol. Delta raids are so crazy good. Their hostage rescue is crazy. And they do the best recce in the military arguably. Singleton recce, all the crazy shit that’s too risky, CAG does it. Marsoc is good at SFs job, maritime ops, decent at raiding, but no chance they do recce, hostage rescue, HVT shit better than CAG.

Apart for when Marine war specialized operations is needed.

How long does the average CSO/SOO stay in MARSOC though??

This is a great uh commercial or recruitment lol marsoc should pay you xD

Weird to think that for the longest time the Marines of all branches were the only to have no SpecOps component.

Anyone know if you can do this without normal color vision?

Seems like a really good pipeline if you join as a civilian and want to enter directly as SF, or do you need to come from a combat corp background first?

Marine Raiders are about as bad ass as they come. ☠️

Anyone know the name of the song?

Marine Raiders were stood up And manned originally by Force Recon Marines. Those Recon Marines performed the “Raider” Mission for years before the actual Raider Schoolhouse was stood up and they performed it off the Force Recon Skillset. Since then have they advanced their capabilities? Absolutely!! The original Marine Raiders operated in World War 2 for about 2 years and disbanded and became 4th Marine Regiment conventional Marine “Grunts”. In fact 4th Marines still carry the Original Raiders Battle Streamers on their Guide On. Facts. The modern Marine Raiders are incredible Marines and have excelled in every assignment they’ve been handed but their heritage, their foundation and their “ancestors” are Force Recon Marines period. They know it too. The fact a bunch of Non Force Recon Officers have written us out of their formation, original mission success, training and tone setting is bullshit. We are very very very proud of them in spite of that and Semper Fi!!!!
