Marines Special Forces normally deploy on board naval vessels in a group of three ships called an Amphibious Readiness Group, or ARG. A normal deployment is six months. They will deploy on the ship, conduct any mission required, and then return back to the United States on the same ship. However, during war time such as that which we are in now, they may deploy for up to a year.
A Sergeant Major in the Special Forces usually holds the MOS of 18Z or Special Forces Team Sergeant. They are usually the most senior enlisted member of the team, or ODA. They help oversee the training and proficiency of the team when they are home, and prepare them for deployment. They also help plan and organize interagency or multinational operations.
Yes. The Marines created MarSOC in 2006. The 1st and 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalions (MSOB) were created from the Force Recon companies. The 3rd MSOB was created in 2009. They conduct foreign internal defense (training foreign military units), recon, and direct action operations, similar to the Army Special Forces.
The primary special operations force of the USMC is simply known as MARSOC, the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command.Also known as Force Recon from their historic origins as an elite Marine unit that wasn't attached to the Special Forces, it is not as well known as the Army Rangers and Navy SEALs becuase it is a relatively new outfit, established in 2006. Unlike Force Recon, MARSOC was established as a full member of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) so as to coordinate an increased need for joint special operations and counter-terrorism.
The drawbacks of being a Special Forces operator is: gone alot, high possibility of being wounded/injured/killed, sometimes cant tell your familiy where you are.
Originally Force Recon, they are now known as Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC).
