What is USMC Force Recon?

force reconThe Force Reconnaissance companies of the US Marine Corps serve to gather intelligence to ground commanders. This is very vital because it helps commanders to plan operations against the enemy. This is so vitally important because of the sensitive nature of the job and the information required.

The job of any recon unit is to snoop and poop, or to gather information. The recon unit should avoid contact (getting in a fight) at all costs because it operates deep behind enemy lines, and it really dosen’t want the enemy to know that he is being spied on. It takes a special kind of soldier to serve in this type unit because the demands are greater. I take my hat off to all soldiers regardless of their branch of service who have ever served in any type of recon unit anywhere. Regular soldiers really look up to special operations troops and all have a deep respect for them. I have sold many military rings to many of these soldiers in many different branches of the military.
