Do you know what all of the U.S. Marine Corps special operations units are? Even though the Marine Corps only has one true special operations unit, that being the Marine Raiders (MARSOC), there are a wide range of cool units and communities that are special operations capable.
This video covers not only MARSOC, but also Marine Recon, Marine Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO), Marine Special Reaction Teams (SRT), Marine Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Teams (FAST), and Marine Recapture Tactics Teams (RTT).
If you’d like to learn more about all of the special operations units of the United States Marine Corps, watch this video!

Can you make a video explaining the federal fish and wildlife service I'm thinking about joining them
@GeneralDischarge Army Sapper please brother! 🤙
I’m imagining how rad a General Discharge podcast would be. Everyone’s identity would be concealed and the GD team would vet guests background to ensure validity. As consumers we would get to hear from individuals who do all this work without them compromising their identity.
Zip it up when you’re done
If you want something similar, listen to the Unconventional Soldier
No smart “active” tsc holder would interview. You don’t know by now they don’t respect privacy? If they thought it was so and so they’d flip their life over and find or fabricate proof
@@reed7562🤓🤓🤓
Thanks for the shout out guys, it's an honor!
Semper Fidelis
I was in an ANGLICO unit and it’s not special forces. It’s special purpose. We were far from tier 1 but it is arguably one of the best units in the USMC. Working in 3-4 man teams attached to a foreign nation military for fire support during combat operations was one of the major focuses.
I worked on a Georgian fob with anglico and eod. Best time I had in Afghanistan.
@@John-un3ov worked with the Georgians over there too, good times.
They're just a security unit...toy story infantry. 😂
Maybe add one more man
0261?
I was a 5811 SRT. I went thru the Norfolk Police Dept. ERT school as an indoctrination into the SRT team. Good times and great memories.
you guys should do a video on USMC Radio Recon
I was in 2nd Force Recon from 1998-2002 and 4th Recon Bravo Co from 2004-2007. You did a great job explaining the jobs!
I've always thought of Battalion Recon marines as the Marine Corps suedo equivalent to the Army's 75th Rangers(albeit Recon marines aren't SOCOM) in that they are advanced infantry like Rangers, and Force Recon is morCommander. Similar to SEALs but again Force Recon answers to the MAGTF CO rather than a SOCOM combatant commander. Is this a naive assumption?
@@McKillahGuerilla not at all, you are correct. I had the chance to go to the Raiders when they started, but I had friends who warned me about going. From what I understand the Marines in charge put a bunch of infantry leaders in charge at the detriment of the unit, not sure how true that is, but I trust my friends that were there.
@@ConservativeTeacherReacts I've done alot of research and from the outside looking in and from some recon marines I have met that's just the impressions I've come up with. I know that in the 80s when SOCOM was stood up then USMC Commandant Paul X Kelley said something along the lines that the Corp didn't need a elite spec ops unit because the Corp itself is elite, pretty much echoing the sentiments of WWII Marine commanders in resistance to the establishment of the WWII era Marine Raiders. Which I always thought was ironic because it was the Marine Raiders who gave America one of its earliest retaliations against the then Japanese empire and they were America's first official spec ops force.
much respect
@@McKillahGuerillaYep, also. Recon Marines were the first to pioneer HALO jumps in the 1950s.
My Dad served in the SRT when he was in Paris Island after his tours in Okinawa and Italy.
IIRC, when MARSOC was formed, the Corps disbanded Det. 1, the 2nd Marine Division's Small Craft Co., 1st & 2nd Force Recon Companies, and used those manpower slots for MARSOC. They also moved the FMTU under the MARSOC umbrella. The active Force Recon guys, that didn't got to MARSOC, got moved into Deep Recon Platoons over in the Division Recon Battalions. As far as EOD supporting MARSOC goes, they have their own EOD Tech, but can draw additional resources from other units. You might also want to clarify that guys assigned to FAST and RTTs are Marine Security Forces, not Marine Security Guards (the guys that guard US Embassies). And lastly, nothing on Radio Recon? Overall, it was a pretty good overview of the various units and their capabilities.
Det 1 was the proof of concept for MARSOC. A lot of Marines involved, but not all, were given orders to MARSOC (including the Radio Recon Marines 😉). Some even got scooped up for things like TFO.
Great job with the video about the Marine Corps Special operations Forces that includes the Marine Force Recon, FAST Fleet Anti Terrorism Marines and Marine Raiders. All of them are real Warriors in there own way while defending America and freedom against all enemies everywhere by any means necessary at all times and all costs.
It took you a while but I am glad non the less F.AST was highlighted 👍🏽and thank you
Great channel love every episode! I like history and military history and stuff doing with the military and what each branch does and all the different jobs and difference between the special forces. I have learned a lot from this channel!
The Marine SRT course is a joint service course ran by the Army at Ft. Leonard Wood.
I think that may depend on where the Marine is stationed. I went thru the Norfolk PD ERT school in 1985 to be on the MP SRT team in Norfolk.
They still do a lot of training with local PD’s or training programs. Ours went to a local knockoff of Front Sight. Even as a DoD cop we trained with the local civilian cops at their range. We also did EVOC training jointly.
Been waiting for this one 👏
Fingers crossed for a video detailing the US OSS and British SOE from WWII. The SOE and OSS are the grandfather of modern American and British special ops, well Britain also formed the SAS and SBS during WWII but still lol
Once more 10/10 you never ceased to amaze me. SEMPER FI MARINE CORPS OOORRRRAAAAGGGGG!!!!
FAST and RRT Marines are from Security Forces not Marine Security Guards. USMC Security Forces are Infantry Marines with additional Security Forces designation.
Takes a lifetime just to make it to FAST
@@codeman9145You can actually sign an MG contract and if you get assigned to FAST (as opposed to any other Security Forces or MSG positions, all part of MG) it’ll be the first thing you do in the fleet. You’ll have to do infantry for the remainder of your contract when your time in FAST is up though. (I say ‘you’ but I mean whoever is in the process of picking their MOS)
Yes!! Cant wait!! I served USMC amd did a little with 2nd MSOB and I still dont know exactly what they do 😂
I would like to see more information on Anglico Marines.
I wonder if MARSOC will ever have a tier one element. Maybe, maybe not. To me, I'd want every branch to have a tier 1 element, including Coast Guard and Space Force, but thats just me.
On a more realistic note, I think there should be a Reserve Raider Bn that focuses on Latin America, and Raider Warrant Officers like the Green Berets have.
Big USMC should bring back the Paramarines and have them take the DA mission from Recon so that Recon can focus on SR.
That would be sick asf
I believe the Coast Guard’s elite MSRT is actually considered a Tier 1 unit. We just don’t hear much about them cause they keep a tight lid on what they do. Being a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security & not a part of DOD like every other branch might also have something to do with it.
There's no need for a USMC tier 1 unit. As a matter of fact, there's nothing new that MARSOC brings to the SOCOM table that isn't already contributed significantly by USASOC, NAVSPECWARCOM & AFSOC. And the Coast Guard actually have a tier 1 unit or kinda at least, it's the MRST.
That would be wrong. If no MARSOC you would still put the work back in the hands of Force Recon . People think there are a lot of people on spec ops but that isn’t true- guys retire, people don’t pass training and acceptance, folks get hurt and lose their lives( sadly) . Talked to a neighbor who was a former force recon marine - he told me like guys who are Army Special Forces ( rangers and green berets) that the training and work takes a hard toll on people’s bodies and lives.
The plan was always to have a marine contingent JSOC was created but marines resisted it cause they feared losing vital assets ( there was always talk of getting rid of the marine corps all together in modern history and Force Recon was disbanded before in marine history)
Before MARSOC joined special operations , Force Recon did the job , albeit mainly under marine command.
Marines a slimming down akin to what the Royal Marine Commandos are , and emphasis will be on more specialized training for the average marine infantry .
Scout snipers have been eliminated and the job is being passed to Marine Recon.
But Marine Raiders will now be in places that can free up assets like Navy Seals, Green Berets, Rangers , Air Force Reconnaissance ( former combat weatherman) to rest and retrain or to join in joint operations
@@dallasyap3064wrong on that, but not shocking. The one thing that MARSOC did better than other SOCOM elements: intelligence and integration of it into all levels of organization in and under a SOTF. Not saying Army SOTBs or other enablers are bad -- far from it.
No one's ever going to hear much about that part, though.
SO the Jarheads got their own JTAC Team within the Corp That COOL ! and i never this unit Or Company existed at all
We deploy with, support, allied forces so, for example, if we're embedded with the Korean ROC Marines or a Britt Commando unit, we allow that unit to take direct advantage of all US forces fire support elements - mortars, rockets, the full compliment of artillery systems, naval gunfire, close in (helicopter gunship) support, and close air (fixed-wing) support. Most of our guys are communicators and/or scout/forward observers. I'm second generation ANGLICO and I had two primary MOS designations of 2531 Field Radio Operator and 0861 Fire Support Marine. I was also a 9962 Advanced Parachutist. Dad was a logistics officer with ANGLICO. I have a son in the Corps, but he decided, smartly, to save his back and knees and go a more standard logistics Marine route. Loved my 7 years in ANGLICO and all my ANGLI-Bros
@@321shawWhow was it lateral moving to 0861? I just put in my relm with lat move package into that MOS with 3rd ANGLICO as a preferred duty station
Veteran Vinny, Nick Nausea, Tommy Tinnitus and " Team General Discharge", this is the Best Birthday Gift that this 55 Year Old ( Born 03 April AD 1969) Prior Service Enlisted Marine and Soldier could ever have, seeing this Video featuring USMC Special Operations Forces ( MARSOF). Semper Fidelis and Thank You. 🪖🎖️💣💥🔥🇺🇲🇺🇸
Great video, would love to find out more about USMC SRT, FAST, and RTT
I was excited to finally hear something about SRT. I was in Okinawa in 98-99 with SRT. Best time of my life. And we did train for direct action assaults back then as well. Semper Fi!!!
Very interesting!
good video. Thanks.
Nice breakdown. Looking forward to the other service breakdowns if you guys ever get to it.
An agency that's been in the news lately is HSI with the Diddy raids...maybe a breakdown on them would be an idea. I've never heard of them prior to this. Apparently, they are a division of ICE but are trying really hard to separate cause their mission is so different.
Thank you😺
I remember when they were doing tryouts in 07 on Pendleton. I was a 0351 at the time and was a dumb farm kid as well. I had NO idea what SF was let alone MARSOC haha. If I'd have known more about it, I would have tried. I ended up in a STA plt which was awesome in it's own right. I recommend if folks are interested and have discipline, get after it and try out. Nowadays there are plenty of training aids (ahem-Gendischarge). During indoc we just had a "fuck it don't quit" mentality.
I was a member of 1st ANGLICO
There are 18 billets (last I know) at CAG (Delta Force) for Marines all filled by Force Recon and Marsoc Marines (some grunts have made it) and they are shooters in the squadrons in stacks. My old roomie in 2nd Force in 90s did 15 years in CAG Recce squadron after passing all testing. There are Marines in ST 6 but only in support billets never in stack but they deploy and go on missions and operate. There are bunch of Marines in “Orange” the National Reconnaissance asset. There are a shitload of Marines in CIA Ground Branch including high leadership. All former Force Recon or Marsoc some former teammates of mine and in their 50s now. Force Recon is a great foundation to go on to tier one units it’s highly respected creates hard very capable Warriors used to doing more with less and like rest of USMC becomes a used asset I in wartime when Marine Corps is running areas of battlefield. Force Recon have been black
Gear raid force specialized since the 1990s but can do green side missions too. All NCOs
Anglico has been around for a long time. My father has had assignments in both Anglico units, back in the 1960's and 1970's.
Former SRT Marine here, SRT is not special operations. It’s a specialized tactical capability to be sure and most of us had to go thru a selection at our command, but not all teams are created equal, just to be clear
Next do a video about each service branches Non Lethal Capabilities
That could be an interesting video.
My son doing IMC right now. Hopefully he'll have interesting service. Semper Fi
Damn. Guess I'm an operator now. 5th Anglico, rah! 😂
IKR. 12th MAR HQ BTRY ANGF PlT
@GeneralDischarge Video about USAF brown berets (Combat aviation advisors) please?😊
Just started learning about ANGLICO, now this is out
ANGLICO is a great unit! Spent 7 years as an ANGLICAN. Dad put in 4 years with ANGLICO before me.
3:00 You Look Like a Episode of Speed Racer "Motorcycle Apaches" (smile) Semper-Fi.
Yes.
Do you make these beats lol wtf they’re always hard 🔥
I’m not sure if all the info for FAST is correct due to The Marine Security Guard Security Augmentation Unit (MSAU) being stood up since Benghazi. It sounds like MSAU’s mission was carved from FAST, but I’m not the expert here! I’d love to hear more about the differences
FAST and RTTs recruit from infantry Marines with security forces contract. These Marines go through CQB School and CQB wise, they can hold their own against MARSOC Raiders.
Great video can you make a video about the 75th ranger regiment the Cole range I’ve heard it’s like hell week but for rangers ?
Marine security guard school was best training I had in the Corps. It was brand new back then, but I loved it, except for shotgun week now that was brutal..
You got the purple shoulders, huh ? 🤔
@@MichaelGentry-le9nj purple,blue,black,yellow
You know when a tank colin gets pined down for exsample in a mind field or on a cliff face, or in urban setting and the lead and rear tank is shot,
What could the tank coliom do?
I would like to see a video about the LAPD Metropolitan Division and all of their platoons like B and C or K9
Can you do a video on SRT’s pipeline and qualifications?
Do RCMP
You could do one just in basic RCMP training and over of career options,
And then one for RCMP ERT, and they’re pipeline and interesting history with CAF SF
Force should be part of MARSOC/SOCOM as primary Special/Deep Recon unit. MAGTF would still have Battalion Recon.
Yes
Force Recon was invited to the ranks of SOCOM but the Marine Corps went full retard and refused.
2nd and 4th Recon made the bulk of MARSOC when was reborn in 05 the rest went into deep batt
The reason 2nd and 4th Recon were the bulk of the rebirth of MARSOC is because there was no recon units that had the experience and battle hardend elite guys like the 2nd and 4th did
2nd and 4th Recon were legit and elite as they come
@@odasmith1215 nice
@@emmanuelawosusi2365 to my knoweldge now i could be wrong
I was in from 2010-2014 USMC 0311 TEAM LEADER, 2/6 Golf Co. 2 Combat Deployments to Afganistan
I was in a 4 week training event during a MARSOC work up and my squad played the partnered forces etc...
I just thought 2nd and 4th were the first of the 05 rebirth of MARSOC
Can you do a video on the LAPD SIS(Los Angeles Police Department Special Investigation Section) they are like a tactical detective and surveillance and have been in a lot of gun fights and subject controversy
Could you please do a video about what the space force does?
@GeneralDischarge
Can you make a video about US Coast Guard Divers (DV)
Can you do videos going over UK Special Forces and what all of their pipelines look like?
All Marine Raiders are both jump and dive qualified. And I think another unit that is worthy of being call special/special purpose/elite etc are the Radio Recon Teams (RRTs) that also operate ahead of the conventional forces to conduct electronic warfare and SIGINT operations to support the MAGTF; these guys sometimes operate alongside Division Recons and maybe Force Recons too.
Hey general discharge long time fan I been wanting to join the army and the Calvary scouts have been getting my attention,but I can’t find much information on them could you do a video on them?
Hey. I was wondering if you can do a detailed video on the rcmp. It would be interesting for everyone the learn about the Mounties…..
Would love to see a video on my distinguished unit Big Red One
You should do a smoke diver program...like Georgia or Florida, elite firefighters
Semper Fedilis is out standing though intrails are eregulre symmetry. Tenure is in discernable. From embrio.
Can you please do a video on Customs and Border protection
Can you do a video on the us postal police and postal inspectors?! Thank you
Can you do a vid on the MCIA?
Hey veteran vinny, im trying to become a TACP. Do you mind doing a video just on them like how you did with CCT's?
I haven't checked, but I was wondering if you could di a video in the future on the Marine's PLC (Platoon Leader Course). I'm planning on doing this option while in college, missed Freshman year's chance just becuase I didn't know about it.

joining this month as sf and aspiring to be part of FAST team
The T in FAST stands for Team. Break the habit before you get to the unit.
Hey can you do a video about the us army's 28th eod airborne company
Marine Raiders were around in WW2
You can get a contract in Recon, I had received a contract in recon before I transferred to the officer program
But the others are based on selection
After the raiders were disbanded at the end of WW2, the only special teams for the marines were recon and crash, fire, rescue
Edit: most of these units are so new that they are still adolescents, all of these excluding SRT and Recon came post 2001
Nope, ANGLICO has been around for decades. My platoon commander back in the early 90’s was in the unit in Viet Nam.
You should do more Donestic Law Enforcement videos
do a video on (CBIRF) Chemical Biological Incident Response Force.
Make a video about the 2nd rep gcp fron the French foreing legion
I was a 5831, motivated Marine but was lied to about having a shot for SRT by my command lol found out a year or two you had to be a 5811 to get in.
We need a general discharge fat electrician collab for historical units
Can you please do a video like this for army?
Would you do a vid on USPIS?
The punishmenr he was the bollocks👊👊
Terminal lance are backbone of USMC infantry
Can you do La port police
What's the best way to become a K9 handler in MARSOC?
Do they still have marines on the SRT since iirc the Marines have gotten rid of their military police? I’ve not found much on it to be fair, I’m likely missing something.
Make a video about US Mint police
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Putting anglico under the umbrella of “special operations” is quite hilarious
A lot the raiders join seals or rangers that way they can move up to tier 1 unit.
Thats not how it works if you wanna get to cag(delta) you just have to be a ranger ,special forces oda ,seal,82nd,raiders,tacp ,cct,pj, recon marine,swcc etc basically most units you dont have to change branches to join a tier one unit unless you wanna go to sts rrc or nswdvg and completely restart as a new guy and do basic training and most raiders stay raiders and i have never heard of raiders becoming seals i have only heard of recon marines becoming seals
Why don't tou guys start a oodcast! Im sure it qould eock the gouse! 👊😀👍
Do the royal marines commandos
Where does CBIRF fall in the USMC and/or the SO community? Or does it even exist today?
Former Recon Marine here and I am usually find General Discharge's information to be pretty close to the truth. However, this is a strange set of comparisons. The vast majority of MARSOC came from Det 1 (who were all Recon Marines) and the rest of the MARSOC was filled out by the Force Recon Companies. MARSOC now has much more funding, a larger national mission and tasking that Recon, and a different selection process...however they are both cut from the same cloth. The rest of these units are great American, fantastic Marines, and very specialized at what they do, but really don't even come close the same official and unofficial selection processes. PLEASE understand that is not a dig, but even the ANGLICO guys on this thread are laughing at the comparisons. What is even more silly is the ideas that some many folks didn't know ANGILCO are JTACs???? They were some of the best JTACs in the military LONG before that term was even in vogue. The internet is becoming a stranger place by the day!
Former USMC Infantry Team Leader here 2/6 Golf Co, 2010-2014, 2 combat deployments to Afghanistan, Marjiah and Warsheer,
To my knowledge i honestly thought the bulk of the rebirth of MARSOC in 05 came from 2nd and 4th Recon being that 2nd and 4th were the most elite units in the Marines at that time 2nd and 4th Recon was our version of SEALS correct me if im wrong i worked with MARSOC on one of their work ups during a 4 week training event my Squad was put in the beautiful role of the partnered forces lol
I just thought 2nd and 4th were the first of the 05 rebirth of MARSOC
One thing I never understood about Special Reaction Teams, I know they're Military SWAT version, but where exactly do they get deployed? When on Deployment in Middle East, what exactly do they do? Do they do exactly what regular SWAT officers do but in Afghanistan, Iraq? Do they add support for Marines going from house to house around cities on raids?
Next question, when SRT are not on deployment, they're home, on Base, what exactly do they do? Do they do everything regular SWAT officers do across the States, but on Military Bases only? Or do/can they join regular SWAT Police off base?
How can one get into this? do i just tell my recruiter i want thos
Can you do Air Force 😊
Delta and SEAL team 6 are the top 2
The 3, 4 AND 5 spot goes to SEALS, MARSOC and GB
6 and 7 go to SWCC and Rangers
8 goes to FORCE RECON
ISA and STS?
FAST must be the unit that would have been deployed to rescue Embassador Chris Stevens....except that code name Renegade told them to stand down. (interesting fact, look up the meaning of the word "renegade" and you'll know what we were up against all along)
I will keep posting RCMP until you make an RCMP video.
pretty sure theres no 0261s at anglico man, at least not at 2nd anglico they just hit up 2nd intel for maps and charts.
SAPPER please brother.
No fast co?
What's the difference between police SWAT and police counter terrorism units
