Thanks for the info (neat username, BTW, I only just realised that it's an IO reference).
As for MARSOC... I guess I fall into the camp of the guys not really convinced of its necessity and utility. I've read a number of papers from JSOU on the subject of its creation and its purpose, and the concept just strikes me as redundant, especially in light of what NAVSPECWARCOM already does and what the various MAGTF set-ups are already capable of without USSOCOM's involvement: A Maritime Special Purpose Force with the proper staffing could equal, and probably even exceed, any MSOT/MSOB's capabilities (especially since an MSPF would have direct access to an MEU's organic aviation elements). Maybe I just haven't been reading the right papers or listening to the best arguments for MARSOC's creation.
I've always admired the Corps for its fiscal responsibility and organizational efficiency, especially when compared to its "big brothers" but (and I mean no disrespect to the people who work in MARSOC when I say this) the whole MARSOC thing just seems like an exercise in getting a piece of the USSOCOM budget.
