Considering that the marines are always the first to respond, they may be considered better in recon then the navy in general. However, the navy SEAL's may be considered better than the marines in genreal since the SEAL's are special ops.

Are the navy and the marine the same?
no, the navy are on the sea and the marines are land soldiers
Do the Navy seals have both navy and marine service men?
The navy SEALs are their own group of specially trained soldiers underwater and on land....no air....... SEAL stands for SEA for fight by sea, the A is for Air and L for land. The SEAL's can do insertion by Sea of course, and Land. the Air part is there for there insertion through HAHO jumps or HALO jumps. They can only do insertions by Air. They cant fight in air. They are the U.S. Military second best Special Operations unit. After Delta Force. They are Second best because of there missions. they can do search and destroy and rescue missions. Any mission is possible for a SEAL except air to air combat. The only time Marine Personal would be with Seals is if they were assisting them. They are never considered one whole team. The Marines have an elite team of there own called Force Recon. these Marine are highly trained but not as much as SEALs. they can perform HAHO jumps and HALO. they can Scuba and attack by land just like seals. the Seals have better equipment and better training, but they sometimes do work with Force Recon Marines because Force Recon Marines are usually in the same vacinity as Seals, on ships. The only reason Force Recon isn't considered Special Forces is because the Corps did not want to give up one of there Special units to Special Forces Command. this way the Corps controls what Recon Marines do. so if the Navy wanted the Marines to send force Recon with a group of there Seals, they would have to get permission from the Corps not the Special Forces Command.
Were there Marines in the battle at Harper's Ferry?
No. Harper's Ferry was a land battle. Marines at that time were exclusively deployed by the Navy.
Who is better the marines the rangers or the navy seals?
Marines are regular forces but have their own specialist special operations branches such as force recon. Rangers are elite light infantry who are trained to support tier one sf on operations. Seals are a special operations force who are as good or better than the rangers on land but are also trained in military diving and free fall parachuting. These skills set them apart, they also have the most difficult training of the 3 units. So the SEALs are 'the best'.
Do the Marines like the Navy?
while there is always inter-service rivalry, the Marines and the Navy work well together to accomplish their missions. The Navy also provides a great deal of support to the Marine Corps in the form of medical help, doctors, nurses, corpsmen, chaplains, JAG and liaison staff. And the Navy provides the ship transportation to land the Marines at their destination.
Does the navy go into war?
They are a branch of the military. Of course they are part of the order of battle. Ships deliver Marines to the beaches, provide gunfire support, hunt submarines and enemy ships. Navy personnel are stationed with the Marines. Navy aircraft strike enemy targets both on the sea and on land.
Who is better marine recon or navy seals?
First off, the two are very different. SEALs (SEa Air Land) are commandos and the product of the old UDTs with some help from President Kennedy. They are tough and can do anything anywhere. They are part of SpecWarCom and they do missions all over the globe. They're the first sent into a conflict. The "Tip of the Spear" is the common way it is put. The Recon Marines are a part of SpecWarCom as well, but only slightly. They are the first marines into a conflict and they are no joke. They see the most combat and they find the most danger out of any marines. Comparison" the SEALs rely on adaptability just like the marines. The Recon marine operate in larger groups and sometimes they will operate with the SEALs. (Team Six's first op was joint with the Rangers and Recon Marines). My own conclusion is that the SEALs are the better warriors due to the extensive training. Both go through BUD/S for a while, but the Recon breaks off and has a different process. A SEAL's training never ends, while Recon's will slow down. Using that old metaphor, the SEALs are the tip of the spear, while the Recon Marines are the barb on the point that anchors it for the blunt forces to move in.
Does the Navy go into battle before the Marines?
It depends on the mission requirements - either Marine Force Recon units or Navy SEAL Teams can be sent ahead into enemy territory in advance of any main attack force. For amphibious operations, the beach landing and other assault zones are typically prepared by Naval and Marine Corps fighter/bomber / Helo attacks and missiles to clear out any "problem" areas prior to ground forces in numbers being introduced along with armored units.Since the Navy and Marines are under the Department of the Navy, historically the lines of battle in certain areas have been blurred. However, when it comes to amphibious landings, Navy Coaxswains pilot landing craft with Marines if necessary, and Marine ground units take the offensive from there. In general, the Marines do have their own support forces, but the close cooperation between the two services essentially means that neither goes to battle without the other in some form when it is a combined strike operation. Even when the battle is strictly land based and the Marines got there by air transport, Marine medics are Navy Corpsman, so the Navy is present.
Who is better navy seals or marines force recon?
Both Navy Seals and US Marine Force Recon are effective fighting forces, but they have different missions. Seals operate on a very small- unit individual mission basis, as their killing of Osama bin Laden demonstrated, while Marine Recon will scout a battlefield and destroy any key defenses prior to a Marine assault. Neither is 'better'; both are incredibly effective at what they do.
Are the U S Marines apart of the army or is it an individual branch in the military?
The U.S. Marines is a separate branch of the military, independent of the U.S. Army. While both services are under the Department of Defense, the Marines operate as their own distinct force within the Navy. They have their own training, equipment, and mission focus.
What kind of military does the US have?
Your basic Land, Sea, Air and Space defenses: US Army US Navy US Air Force US Marines
What does the army do in war?
Very generally, a nation's army is the land-based, ground fighting branch of the armed services. Some countries use the term land army to distinguish the army from the air force or even the marines. Marines are usually attached to the naval (sea based) forces, and often act as the "navy's infantry."
