United States Marine Recon | Force Recon, Division Recon | 2022 

Being a Force Recon Marine was he best experience of my life. I spent over a year with 5th Force at Del Mar in Pendleton all of 1967 and went to jump school, dive school, amphibious recon school with lots of swimming, rubber boat training, jumping (fixed wing, helicopter, night jumps, water jumps) sub training, rappelling. All of this prepared me for my tour in Vietnam in 68-69 with 1st Recon Bn. Absolutely the most exciting time of my life and I'm now 74.

as PMC/S.OP vet myself did 4 weeks of training with, did some op with them too much respect for those brothers and sisters in and out service.. stay frosty all

Seating in the rain like that has a very high suck factor!! Been there done that in Hawaii in the Kahowkows!! And it does get cold un Hawaii!! 80 to 84!!

That water jump was rad. Was stationed at Hansen in 79 a life time ago with 2/5. Man I’d like to turn back the clock! Keep up the good training. Semper Fi.

Thank you for your service! ❤️ 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸

I love my Army but the Marine Core is just awesome.... period

Marine Recon, love you guys from southern, CA bless you

I had the pleasure to work with Marine Force Recon in the early 80's I was an army grunt. Never been around Seals but worked alot with Special Forces they were a joy to work with and professionals that knew their shit. But the Recon really left an impression on me, like special forces it's not about the Rambo aspect these guys are seriously intelligent individuals. I mean sure you can do the physical training but the amount of training and schooling that you have to do and comprehend and pass is unbelievable. I remember talking to them in the field and a lot of their equipment they bought themselves at mountaineering shops or Cabelas because that gear was better than military issue, we worked together on a big 45 day field exercise in Germany the leader said he had to call HQ in the states to verify something one of the other recons unfolded this little metal dish thing and he actually called and talked to his HQ in the US this was like 82 so I was dumbfounded never seen anything like that, anyway those Recon guys were really good.

Love recon. I believe it's one of the most skilled roles in land based military.

Thank God for men like this.

Thanks for keeping our country 🇺🇸 safe! Mad props to the armed forces, thank y’all for your service!!

I ship off to be an 0326 August 1st! Wish me luck!

Good stuff Marines! Semper Fi.

God Bless America 🇺🇲❤️

Semper Fi brother’s! It’s been 49 years but seems like yesterday! BUT WORTH THE PAIN! The fewer…the prouder…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I was stationed with 3rd recon 3rd Mar div back in 75-76 as a 3531 (anyone stationed with recon had to go through R.I.P. school )at Onno pt on Okinawa than back to camp Foster in 80-81with transport Co 9th motors as a 3533 and the plt Sargeant of 2n platoon

I pray for all military people my husband served in the clear he's suffering bad now lots of thank yous love and prayers all if u are the best if the best prayer warrior😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

My late husband was a marine. He was in recon . I believe being a marine is and the most dangerous call. They are usually the 1st called in. And it can be and is very deadly (private Ryan). But in truth we and especially me respect and appreciate all the military for what they have sacrificed to make America safe. God bless each and everyone of you every single day. ❤️

only USA has the budget and willingness to offer her military all kind of near real life suitation training all over the globe 24/7 year round !

¡Es un video muy interesante y mis sinceras felicitaciones a este grupo de profesionales gracias!!😊

Oh, to be young again and in shape like these fellas. Hell yea.

So much love and respect God bless you and thank you for your service 🙏

God bless the US Marines!!!

Wow really good jungle camo...swift silent deadly

God bless the United States! These are some of the best trained soldiers on the planet, and every single one is there voluntarily!

1:12 looks like john cena😂

El cuerpo de marines de EU, de por si ya estan bien capacitados y adiestrados en todo, ademas, cuentan con una basta experiencia en distintos terrenos y aparte de que han participado en todos los conflictos del globo.. ya tienen una experiencia muy avanzanda en la guerra, manejo de armas, etc. Y ahora ya cuentan con sus fuerzas especiales.

How long did it take for Marsoc to ditch the no hesitation targets?

Its great to see how much is changing and evolving within our Family of Marines. 3371 cook.

I joined the Marines as a teenager. I regret... nothing. 25 years

It ain't training if it ain't raining. Good job men

09:00 I remember running up and down the beach at Naval Special Warfare Center Coronado CA with other Marines carrying a Zodiac. There are different sized Zodiacs, but they were all heavy and especially in beach sand it was a pain.

สวัสดีครับผม ยิ้มยิ้ม เข้าไว้ โลกจะสดใส😁😁😁

Respect from Bali island 🇮🇩

once had US recon in our country and in our 2 week exercise...they operated with us but seperatly...we consider the exercise sucess when we dont have to fire any blanks and stay below radar.... anyway....first night...orders...moving out...about 2 hours later...we hear a massive firefight and the US guys say on radio that all their ammo is depleted :D they used more ammo in first 2 hours of recon than we did in 5 years in those exercises. Other time...winter camp... 2 weeks in forrest deep snow and - 20 celcius...we had guys from Arizona...never even saw snow in their life...skiing with them was fun...and after the exercise the party was pretty rad too... most of my platoon called in sick next day because of hangovers. We gave a Mexican dude some home made strong moonshine... he didnt want it.... one of our guys asked... "are you a Mexi-can´t or Mexi-can....needless to say he chose the latter and gulped that 70% drink making nasty faces.... Fun times...

一番好きな特殊部隊

Thank God those guys are there at this critical time. Come home safe.

I am not a Marine. However, a lot of my friends from my youth were Marines and the Marines tried to recruit me in high school. I knew a recon Marine in 1985 and was impressed by him as an individual Marine. He explained a lot of stuff to me about the Marines and the general special operations community in the eighties. I also met a couple FORCE RECON Marines in 1988 when I was a beach lifeguard at Myrtle Beach...they were big guys who looked like they could beat the crap out of anybody. I mean anybody...civilian outlaw bikers, other Marines, they looked like they could have handled Mike Tyson if they had to. That being said, I always found the Marine Corps recon community a bit weird in the sense that they always seemed like second string to JSOC units. I always got the impression the Marine Corps leadership was very jealous of loaning out their best guys and best units to joint units like SOCOM. I also have had the impression that the Marine Corps in general never truly got focused on true special operations in the sense like JSOC or the British SAS. I dont think the Marine Corps will ever get away from their core mission...medium to large scale amphibious operations that are offensive in nature (seizing beaches held by enemy forces). Amphibious ops are the Marines creme da la creme. To me, Marine recon is like a support unit to the infantry and to the Marine high command...feeding them intel and doing special ops just for the Marine Corps high command...hence the name "FORCE" Recon. Meaning they are recon units for the Marine Amphibious Force Generals in the Fleet Marine Force. In plain English, my impression of Marine recon is, "you find'em and the Marine infantry or Marine aviation units will come kill them." Maybe things have changed with MARSOC..I dont know much about MARSOC.

Semper Fi brothers.

Force should be part of MARSOC/SOCOM as the primary Deep/Special Recon unit. MAGTF would still have Battalion Recon.

Former Force Recon Marine, I wasn't the toughest, but I was the smartest.

thanks amazing

Did you know that a cik key for the crazy-10 is waterproof? I found out after a 2k fin off of Onslow Beach 2nd Recon BN 2003. I was scared shitless that I had destroyed it and lost the fills. Woulda been worse if it came off my neck lanyard! Great Times!

This reminds of the movie platoon great movie.

Marine Brotherhood

I was in the Corps 72 to 76 , I could never call myself a marine . They were just too good ...

The defacto special forces under direct command of Marines HQ. The reason why this special ops capable unit isn't considered "special forces" is because it isn't under SOCOM.

FORCE RECON SPECIAL FORCES🥵😨🤔?!
