So how does Marine Force Recon exist with the Marine Corps? Is that their official Special Forces unit or was it absorbed into MSOB? I'm confused by all of the different unit names, such as Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Expeditionary Force, Marine Force Recon, etc.

Force Recon is still seperate. I think they took 1st and 2nd Battalion to make the 2500 man unit for MARSOC under USSOCOM.

Yeah, so what's the difference between MARSOC and Force Recon? Is it simply that 1st and 2nd Recon Battalions became MARSOC and the others remain Corps assets? Or is it more complicated than that?
My understanding is that MARSOC is still developing. The way they are organizing their adviser teams, it seems a lot like Army Special Forces.

Quick queston for those that customize. Does anyone know if the head of Liz Sherman from Hellboy comes off easy. I have tried to pull it off but it seems to be stuck.... I don't want to force it and break it. Any suggestions?

Here's something from the Wiki:
II Marine Expeditionary Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia org chart: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nary_Force.png It's the II Marine Expeditionary Force which has the 2nd MEB and three MEU subordinate to it. Your basic large scale Marine unit. Within the II MEF is the 2nd Recon Btn. I guess most of Force Recon is in MARSOC those that didn't get moved were added to the three Recon Battalions as another Platoon each. United States Marine Corps Reconnaissance Battalions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So maybe Force Recon is Dead? |

Yeah I just wonder if they are still referred to as Force Recon or now are they called Deep Recon Patrols? I'm looking.

Special Operations.Com
There is also the Maritime Special Purpose Force (MSPF) Which it probably more like the Joes than any other unit. but I think it may just be thrown together from the various units within the MEU it's a part of. I think it's a small unit though like 2 platoons. I don't know if every MEU gets one? They were sort of taking the place of a Force Recon unit where one is not available. But Not sure where the Force Recon guys are a part of? |

From what it sounds like on Wiki and as repeated by Zulu and Loose, it does appear that Force Recon was mostly absorbed by MARSOC MSOBs but does Force Recon still exist, I guess is the question.
