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.
No, this career field is currently closed to women. However, Army Special Operations Command has started creating Cultural Support Teams (CST). These teams are groups of women who accompany special operations teams into areas where the interaction between local women and male special operations personnel would be considered inappropriate, namely countries in the Middle East and Africa. Women who pass the training to become a member of a CST are awarded the MOS of 38B and are apart of Civil Affairs and PsyOps Command, which is a subordinate command of Army Special Operations Command. There are also Female Engagement Teams (FETs) in both the Army and Marines, however, they are attached to Infantry and Armor units, not SOF units. Members of CSTs go through a more rigorous selection and training process than FET members because of the unique nature of special operations missions.
Are you asking about Unconventional Warfare? That is the official term stated by the DOD for US military operations that fall along the lines of "insurgency". The majority of the time, these operations are carried out by US Army Special Forces or MARSOC teams. Occasionally, SEAL teams will do these as well, but their primary focus is direct action and special reconnaissance.
The MARSOC element that trains, advises, and assists friendly host nation forces is known as the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) Marine Special Operations Teams (MSOTs). These teams work closely with naval and maritime military and paramilitary forces to enhance their capabilities in maintaining internal security. By providing specialized training and support, MARSOC helps these forces improve their operational effectiveness and strengthen their ability to support their governments. Ultimately, this collaboration aims to promote stability and security within the host nation.
Army Special Operations missions encompass a range of specialized tasks, including direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, and psychological operations. These missions often require small, highly trained teams to operate in complex environments, conducting operations that may involve covert actions or support to partner nations. Special Operations forces are also involved in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts, showcasing their versatility in diverse operational contexts.

Yes the USAF has AFSC's pr "Job" that fall under SOCOM or Special Operations Command. Some of our Special Forces include the Pararescue men, the Combat Air Traffic Controller, the Sere Specialist, and the Tactical Air Control Party, as well as other AFSC's that partake in SOCOm missions such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Combat Weather. this list is not all inclusive and a USAF Recruiter should be contacted for further information. There is no such thing as special forces in the airforce. many people get confused with spec ops and spec forces. the special forces are green berets ONLY.

The only way to serve on a SEAL team without being in the Navy is by joining the Air Force, becoming a Combat Controller. After that, the Air Force will put you on a special operations team that needs someone with those skills. The teams include Army Rangers and Special Forces teams, AF Special Tactics Teams, and Navy SEAL teams. You won't be a SEAL in the sense of the word, but you will operate with them in the field as part of the team.
