I served with these guys in Battlefield 2, very professional, shoutouts to staff sergeant major xXxSlayeR1993xXx.

met (very few) recon and force recon marines, and have to say the force recon marine was one of the humblest and most down to earth Marines I've ever known

I'm an 0341 and I met some great recon and Marsov marines. They're great at their jobs. A lot of Infantry guys complain about not doing some cool shit like this. But my best answer is that we may be the few and the proud. But this gentleman are the few and the proud within the few and the proud. Takes a special kind of mentality to be a special forces Marine. All of them are not just great warfighters, but they're also great leaders

1:22 that recoil control

While in Okinawa our StaffSergeant was straight from Force Recon and he had just finished his 5 years with them and was sent to 2/5, and he was very humble, shit, world of intrinsic knowledge but again humble and respectful of our platoon, smoked like a train but hard core...Semper fucking Fi to all Marines...I had a great pleasure of serving in combat with some great gents...

I’m currently living in Brazil, but I’ll never forget about the Marine brothers . Semper fie.

I have never served, nor do I have the intention to. However, I have studied amazing men that served in the military, from the wisdom taught by generals to the wisdom taught by special forces operators. I must have read at least 10 books written by retired military personal and I must say, I have learned a lot. I have learned about discipline, about persistence, about the power of good goals. I have learned about the idea of leadership and of taking complete ownership of your situation. I will probably never fire an M4. I will probably never wear battle fatigues. However, these videos and all the wisdom left behind by the great men and women that served in the military will always serve me towards accomplishing my own personal goals and endeavors. These people are more brave, more hardworking, more motivated then I'll ever be but I'm proud to know that I've took so many lessons from the military mindset and implemented them in my own life. For this, even if I'm not from the US, even if I've never served, all branches of the military have my gratitude.

I'm level 230 and have full stats in gta online and single player. I'm so ready.

I love the SSGT’s calm matter-of-fact manner as he explains all the badass shit they do. Just another day at the office

these Marines are the the elite of the USMC. and of course the ultimate badasses. watch out Daesh.

Now that's what this channel needs more Recon Oorah! Can't wait

You are the best soldiers, Thank you for your effort, dedication, sacrifice and commitment. God bless you🙏🙏❤️❤️

One of the best reconnaissance and surveillance units in the US military.

Force recon units are NOT part of the division. They are a MEF asset. There are 3 Force Recon companies one associated with each MEF. They used to be an independent MEF unit, but, the initial creation of MARSOC pulled heavily from the Force Recon companies, so shortly after MARSOC was stood up in 2006, the Force Reconnaissance companies were deactivated. After a couple years, it was realized that the Force Reconnaissance mission was still needed, so a fourth company was added to each of the Reconnaissance battalions "D" Company, which became the Force Recon company of each Recon battalion. Well, now, that requires a discussion of the distinctions between Battalion Recon and Force Recon. All recon Marines enter the ranks via the Basic Amphibious Reconnaissance Course, which, I believe, is 3 months long. They go on to get jump qualified at Fort Benning, GA, and scuba qualified at the Marine Corps Combatant Diver Course. Usually, only Marines with at least one tour in the Fleet are allowed to apply for recon, so, they are usually more mature, but, their first step after schools is placement in a recon battalion. There are 3 recon Battalions--one associated with each Division. Battalion Reconnaissance is a Division asset. What this means is that Battalion Recon works for the Marine Division CG and usually works within the artillery fan of the division to collect information on the enemy directly pertinent to division operations. . Force recon works at the force level--the MAGTF and higher level. So, while each reconnaissance battalion works directly for the division commander, each Force Reconnaissance company (although admin'd within the Recon Battalion) works directly for the MEF CG--or the commander of the division commander. What that means is that Force Recon usually works BEYOND the artillery fan--super deep in enemy territory, often without the possibility of even air support. Because of the extreme difficulty and sensitivity of the Force Recon mission, only the best of Battalion Recon will get to move into Force. That means that Force is "the best of the best." On an historical note--Marine Amphibious Reconnaissance developed right alongside the Navy UDT teams of WWII. Whereas UDT did have an offensive mission that took them covertly into foreign harbors to set charges underneath enemy naval vessels, they also were involved in beach reconnaissance and obstacle removal before landing forces debarked into landing craft in amphibious operations. The Marine Amphibious Reconnaissance Company was primarily responsible for beach reconnaissance and obstacle removal, but, was trained in underwater demolitions as well. The concept of Force Reconnaissance came into being in 1957 (Navy SEALs inception was in 1962). Force Recon pioneered the research in HAHO and HALO insertion methods, as well as SCUBA assents from submarines (they literally climbed into the torpedo tubes and crawled out, at night, and their only orientation to the surface was to follow the bubbles!!). By the early 1960's, Force Recon was running missions around the world in places no one knew Americans even went. They were long regarded as some of the finest, unsung operators in the world, while the SEAL program was in its birth stages. To read of Force Recon missions run in Vietnam is mind blowing. Their stories rank right up there with the LRRPS and Vietnam SEALs.

Best of the best of the best!

Retired SSGT MEU, stay frosty boys!!

nothing but the greatest of respect

Yo at 0:54 look at that target. That’s damn fine shooting.

Love the video. Keep up the good work hoorah

Force recon is so good man

I like the SSGT's point on how there is not a lot of recognition with that occupation, you should strive for a job well done! 👍

Warriors. Keep to themselves. Training or gone for months at a time. The best.

I shared a berthing area with Recon while I was on the 31st MEU. They have us POGS with the elites.

The world hasn't haven't even known what we can do with the right Marine. Make America great again and failure is not in this ladies dictionary. Did you hear me. The Marines, The Few and the PROUD! Oh Rah!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cant wait

who made this video???? its freaking awesome as a 25V for the Army this is one of the best videos i've seen in so short of time and a great working interview

My ex is a force recon marine vet. Loved being in camplejuene for 13 years. He went to 20 army, nvy and marine corps schools.

More of Force Recon videos please !

SEMPER FI‼️🍻

God Bless you gentlemen. Wish I could've joined you.

This is Soo cool

That reload was crisp af

Tu see me like we are standing next to each other.. yes fly Girl

Could someone be so kind as to explain how to get into this? The Recon Marine/Force Recon info is quite confusing. I'm looking for MOS number and required training ect...

Former 0331....Recon and Force Recon are the best the Marines have.

Badass man

trying to decide between this or marsoc is frustrating but at least i still got a couple months

when i do enlist into the Marines i'm going for Force Recon. Don't know about you guy but i support the Marine Reconnaissance Foundation

I hope to be able to do this someday

makes me homesick for when i was in recon

I watched this with battlefield music in my head

This is so fucking cool

Man I wish, I wanna be Marine Force Recon.

I noticed a lot of different kinds of attachments and how these guns run their guns. Some use the lanyards and some don't and a few use different magazines and stocks.

That’s my boyy

I think at the end of the day Force Recon is for guys who join the USMC and then realize they really want to be SEALs.

Marine Recon was one of the reasons I joined the Corps. I saw a motivating video from one of my highschool classmates at the time. They were doing calisthenics and you can tell they were hurting. Out of nowhere one of them let's out a war cry. Mind over matter. No matter what physical pain you're suffering you can always give more than you think. Especially if you're an athlete and used to working out. I made it to a STA platoon and tried out for Recon but didn't pass oh well Divine intervention had other plans for me.

1 and 3 battalion are divison recon and the second battalion are soc

what's with the G36?

Love USA.🇺🇸 💓

Солдаты свободы 👍

I miss it

Swift - Silent - Deadly

Go! Go! Gadget guys!! Won't replace the heart of a fucking lion!!!🦁

Do regular MEU's get deployed to combat zones a lot? And is it difficult to become part of the MEU? (NOT force recon MEU) Thank you in advance!

Look at us, we got 45.'s we're special

Im 10th prestige in every COD game since W@W, Im ready.

Meaner than the navy seals :)

bad ass

Fleet Marine: Has low reg. Recon Marine: Has no reg. Watching this video reminds me of a time when I was cool.

Goals.

I will do this.

At 0:52, did that dude do a AD on that pistol into the air? It looks like it went off before he meant to.

I miss this shit, but my knees went to shit.

Guys please the song on 0:15

What's the difference between Division Recon and Force Recon? Is it just one being division-based or something?

Their training is so similar to raiders. How are both different?

what gun is it called in the picture on the vid

OORAH!

So BB dose recon or regular infantry see more action

what is that big metal tank looking thing some guys carry on their backs????

I’m surprised Recon Marines carry 1911’s as a side arm. I thought they would carry Sig’s.

Is it true than Recon hasn't seen combat since 2012-13? That they now mainly do VBSS?

What’s the difference of force recon and Marsoc?

Semper Fi

Can you do 2nd Marines Division?

What are the requirements and training?

Why do they still have MICH helmets?

OOOORRRAAAHHH

I clicked because of that G36

What is that canister on his back at 1:15?

mrin_fxl Have you ever heard the saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"?

“What is ‘new’ equipment” Marine Force Recon

USMC Watches me close

whats the difference in force recon and Raiders???

Cool video saw it 5 years ago when it came out. This is the second 5 years old video in a row. Fuck off youtube.

Are their any requirements involved in joining force recon?

assumably the most difficulat variable/aspect of retreival...

2-4 MEU “DOC” ’82-90 OORAH!

Someone tell me, what on earth is in the pringle cans on their back panels? Im assuming pringles or other snacks. I know thats what id put in them. Or crayons. Both for writing and for snacking.

I can't be airborne for medical reasons. Could I still join MARSOC in an combat MOS? Is there any SOF in any branch where the ability to parachute is not needed?

I honestly wish the US Marines never changed their M45 handgun.
