Marine Raiders

Marine Raiders were elite units of the United States Marine Corps, specifically designed for conducting special operations during World War II and beyond. Formed for quick strikes, reconnaissance, and direct action missions, they were highly trained in unconventional warfare tactics. The Raiders gained notoriety for their effectiveness in island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific Theater. Their legacy has continued in modern military operations, leading to the establishment of current special operations forces. Today, their spirit and traditions live on in units like the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC).
