Is Force Recon with MARSOC?
Yes and no. When MARSOC was created in 2006, the direct action platoons (i.e. door kickers) from Force Recon were transferred over and changed into the Marine Special Operations Teams, or MSOTs. The first MARSOC operators were from these Force Recon platoons. This allowed Force Recon to shift their focus back to the intelligence gathering and deep recon missions that they were designed for.

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.
Are the Marine Force Recon like the British SAS?
No, they are more akin to the elite Brigade Reconaissance Force of the Royal Marines 30 Commando IX group.
