Who is better force recon or navy seals?
SEALs
What is the marines recon?
Marine Force Recon is a branch of MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) and their job is to locate HVT's (High Value Targets) and other threats for the main infantry. There is no question about it, they are the most elite fighters in the United States. Many say that Navy SEALs are more elite, but there are over 3,000 SEALs in the world, and only about 300 Force Recon Marines in the world.
Who is better army green berets or marine force recon?
Navy SEALs
Will the Marines beat the Navy Seals?
Marines are not on par with the Seals. Marines are a regular force, seals are special operations. A more likely match would be Marine Recon Vs Seal
Who is better seals or marine 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.
Is it possible for navy seals to transition to the marines force recon?
Probably, but you wouldn't want to, often guys go from Force Recon to SEALs. SEALs are the top, if someone wanted to stop operating, they would transition to a job still involved with the Navy Special Warfare community, not to another branch or to a different community, you don't go through the things you have to in order to be a SEAL just to go back, SEALs start off in things like Force Recon amd Army SF. Being a SEAL is the ultimate goal
Are Marines ever in the SEALS?
The SEALS are a US Navy unit. The Marines have their own special forces, Recon. They may cross train, but they have different missions and skill sets.
What is the name for the elite force of Marines like Navy Seals?
probably marine force recon or scout snipers
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.

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 seals tougher than recon?
no, Recon also the USMC has Force Recon... The Marines special operations are classified under MARSOC and have rigorous training for the Marines you have to first be in an infantry unit for four years then reenlist and go through sometimes it takes two years of training so six years total. plus RECON are the elite of the elite. Navy isn't elite only seals are elite and all Marines are elite but RECON is the tougher group. SEALS are still tough just not like RECON, different training. USMC Carlos Hathcock, Recon sniper has 93 confirmed kills. CHESTY Puller USMC awarded four navy crosses for bravery second highest under medal of honor and he had four of them. USMC John Basilone held off 3,000 enemy troops with their own machine gun with one other Marine whom was killed in the battle of Guadalcanal during the second world war and then single handedly hacked up three enemies with his jungle machete and for this was awarded the Medal of honor. but respect both.
