No, they are more akin to the elite Brigade Reconaissance Force of the Royal Marines 30 Commando IX group.

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.


What is the difference between the USMC and the marine force recon?

The U.S.M.C. is a branch of the U.S. military, and the Marine Force Recon is an extremely small part of the Marine Corps Recon division. Its like the Corps Navy SEALS...only better...it takes alot of hard work, dedication, and a massive amount of motivation...and even with all that there's still a HUGE chance you won't make it...thats how exclusive it is.

Does marine force recon go on special forces missions?

Marine Recon (Battalion and Force) definitely do Special Operation Missions just like any other special operations group such as SEAL, Green Beret, Ranger, Para-rescuer, Navy Combat Diver, SAS, etc. Of course all of these different units train for different functions, hence the reason why they are not the same force, and often perform JTF (Joint Task Force) operations, in order to provide trained teams in all necessary fields.


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.

How do you qualify for special forces marines?

(Asuming you mean USMC) You take the 4 month Recon Marine qualification course.(If you want to know what is on the course i would reccomend watching 'Surviving The Cut: Recon Marine' or something like that, it is on Netlfix and i think YouTube and the Discovery channel site)


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.

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
