The Marine Corps Force Recon got its start during WWII in the South Pacific as the Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion. In 1957 the Marine Corps merged the amphibious reconnaissance company with an experimental recon team to form the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company.

Force Recon saw their first military action in Viet Nam, but they were deactivated not long after the end of the conlict. It wasn't until 1986 that the 1st Force Reconnaissance was reactivated and later deployed in the Gulf War.

As a Recon Marine you'll fight the secret wars that never make the front page and you'll bring the highest level of expertise to every operation you are involved in.

United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance (Force Recon) units are special-purposes units roughly analogous to the Navy SEALs, Air Force Air Commandos, or U.S. Army Special Forces and are widely recognized as the "special operations forces" of the United States Marine Corps. Marine Force Recon personnel, or "operators", perform highly specialized, small scale, high-risk operations, such as:

-Amphibious and deep ground surveillance.
-Assisting in specialized technical missions such as Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, Radio, sensors and beacons, etc.
-Assisting in ordnance delivery (i.e., designating targets for close air support, artillery and naval gunfire).
-Conducting direct action raids, such as gas and oil platform (GOPLATS) raids and the capture of specific personnel or sensitive materials.
-Counter Insurgency Operations
-Behind Enemy Lines Assault
-Deep Reconnaissance
-Hostage/prisoner of war rescue.
-Unconventional warfare
-Foreign Internal Defense
-Counter-Terrorism

Sorry, this is a very random question, but as your in the marines, i thought i'd start with you.
Have you ever heard of Sean Kennedy? i really dont know much about him apart from that he was, and may still be in the marines! i've been trying to track him down for a while now, but havn't been successful at all. if you know anything, if you have any information, please get back? thanks.
