I'm curious about the differences between Recon, and MARSOC. Can anyone explain these? In the Army we have Rangers (direct action), Special Forces (foreign internal defense), and Delta (counter terrorism). They're very different but have overlapping capabilities. Is Army SF a counterpart to MARSOC? Would Rangers be more aligned with Recon?

@discofishing I'm not a Marine, but as far as I know, Marsoc is part of socom, and recon is a special operatios(capable) force, split up into division recon, and force recon, and alot of the old force recon guys went to marsoc

How do you become marsoc?

@weaponsahhweapons26 So it seems there's some overlap in skill sets and capabilities between MARSOC and Recon. Appears to be similar to what the Army has with Rangers and Special Forces/Delta Force. I think Force Recon needs to be part of SOCOM. Marines have always struggled for funding more than the other branches. This would help, I think. If Rangers are part of SOCOM, so should Recon.

@discofishing Force Recon was the Marines main recon/direct action/counter-terrorism force but since Force Recon wasn't a part of SOCOM they sometimes sat on the sidelines. So the USMC formed MARSOC which is their contribution to SOCOM. Most of the MARSOC guys came straight from Force Recon and the rest of the Recon guys that didn't go to MARSOC stayed in Recon. MARSOC then took on DA and Counter-terrorism and Force Recon was freed up to focus on deep recon.

@discofishing Bro, I am not going to discuss facts that I have no powers over, this is the way the Marine Corps is and performs, call the commandant if you have questions or dislikes.

[discofishing]

@77musica Harder than SF and Rangers? In what ways? I'm a soldier, so obviously I'm going to have some bias, but the idea is to cut through that stuff. What benefits would the USMC gain by being autonomous? They are part of the Navy, for one. I can sight several instances where the Corps relies heavily on other branches. So lets put the pride down and speak on terms of history and facts.

@SuperSoldier4Freedom exactly! we are all elite in the Corps, I never met a Recon Marine who thought he was better than another Marine, in fact, most Force Recon always return to their combat units.

@discofishing you need to know that the commandant always wants the Corps to be autonomous and work alone, MARSOC is the new Force Recon to do shit secretive for the Marines in combat units, the Marine Corps fights alone and MARSOC supports the missions, and MARSOC is harder than armyrangers or even special forces, join to fing out more...

@discofishing MARSOC is relatively new only a couple years old and they are very similar to Army SF with their abilities to train and assist foreign fighters along their language & cultural skills.

[discofishing]

@SuperSoldier4Freedom I think it's just an expeditionary/QRF type mindset required to perform the job. Marines are not always "first to fight". I can't really think of a conflict/war where they were first to in. From what I've read, the idea is to have a couple of MAGTFs circling the globe, waiting to be called into action. I will say Marines are very special in that they have the assets of an entire military; tanks, infantry, artillery, support, air, etc.

@discofishing you have to be a marine to understand. im not a marine but i study about them everyday.
