Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC)

Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) is the Marine Corps unit responsible for special operations, focusing on specialized missions such as reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, direct action, and irregular warfare. Operating under the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), MARSOC trains its Marines extensively to conduct covert and high-risk missions worldwide. They work closely with other special operations forces to address complex threats, gather intelligence, and support national security objectives, often operating in challenging environments where standard military forces cannot easily go.
