US Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance / Force Recon: Because the USMC is revered in its own right, and because Navy Seal and Special Forces often take the spotlight, Force Recon is often not talked about – something in a community of silent warriors that I am sure they appreciate. Known for their ability to perform deep reconnaissance and direct action missions, Force Recon has been a stalwart unit in the SOF community. A great deal of the above missions are now performed by Marine Special Operations Teams (MSOTs) under the newly formed MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command).
