What is the difference between navy seals and the marines?

Answer 1

Navy SEALs are the maritime Special Operations Forces of the U.S. Navy. The Marines are a separate component of the military. For more information about the Navy SEALs, check out WWW.SEALSWCC.COM, our official website.

Answer 2

The SEALs obviously are more versatile in their missions but other than that not very much except for marines you must have your first enlistment which is four years before you can join and now its called MARSOC which is attached to socom and marines are the only branch whom can be activated without declaring a war and the seals can be sent to buds as soon as they finish navy bct or bootcamp, marines also will have 15 hours of hand to hand in bct then more in their mos training and more when they are qualifying for MARSOC... THEY ARE CONSIDERED EACH OTHERS BROTHERS IN ARMS

Answer 3

The primary difference is that Marine Force Recon units are generally used only for advance recon well behind enemy lines, in advance of larger force invasions/operations. Their normal activities typically require them to operate without being seen, and to not directly engage the enemy unless necessary. During the Invasion of Iraq, they were utilized out of normal operations, chosen to spearhead the invasion as a force, rather than operate in smaller units as they usually do. Though not their usual modus operandi, they did quite well regardless.

Navy SEAL's, while they do in fact perform advance recon / intelligence operations, are primarily an active combat force, rather than just a recon force. SEALs actively seek out and engage enemy targets, quickly, and in small units,
