Force Recon
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010What is the difference between Force Recon Marines and Recon Marines?
My friend a Marine, said that Force Recon is above Recon. I know that Force Recon is now part of Marsoc.
but what is the difference between them?
The main difference is what their mission capability is. Recon is purely sent for reconnaissance missions. They are trained to go behind enemy lines and collect intel on positions, troop size, weaponry, etc. without being seen/caught by the enemy. Force Recon on the other hand is capable of taking on what Recon does and if need be, attack the enemy or instillation's with superior firepower/demolition. They both are company sized units but they maneuver in a fire team (4 Marines).
