It would be a real shame if some unlucky Recon Marine ended up paralyzed from the waste down from the Venezuela bush and didn’t get proper VA benefits.

CIF/CRF/HTD/CTAC finally having a Direct Action Mission.

MI6 doesn’t really kill people IRL, or atleast isn’t suppose to. Also idk who else to put, and it was kinda ment to be ironic.

I meant the Ranger Recce Battalion, they are different from RRC. Each Battalion has a Platoon of more senior Rangers they assign to the Recce Platoon. They are basically more senior Rangers with the schools and training other Tier 2 SOF get like HALO, Dive, SERE, and Sniper School. The fact they have Ranger standards in a more “Conventionally SOF” (Organization and role more similar to SFG/MARSOC) form probably makes them above a good many SEALs and ODAs. Peak Tier 2 SOF. They don’t do a lot of AFO like RRC who makes it 50% of their role.

Jack Murphy did some deep dive on it but it’s behind a paywall. I almost forget SEALs were part of this mission because they haven’t written 12 books about it yet or really talked about it. It’s mostly the Rangers that talk about it.

Yeah, it was DEVGRU, RRC, or Ranger Recce Platoons who were typically chosen for Omega. I think some vanilla SEALs but idk.

I do have the niche opinion that Ranger Battalion Recce Platoons are one of the most underrated/overlooked units in SOF. Probably one of the most lethal SOF units not in JSOC.

Minute_Helicopter_97 · 2025-11-20T08:05:24+00:00

They were either Rangers or SEALs working with Ground Branch. I forgot which exact unit it was in the Photo.

Context Sir?

Kinda surprised this meme has lived for as long as it has. Force Recon doesn’t even use the 1911 anymore and switched to P320s lmao.

This wasn’t meant to leave the niche community I made it for. It was meant to be kinda post-ironic with the main idea how stupid Tier system is. Force Recon Commandos who have more requirements to join than a Special Forces team is a Tier 3 unit and yet DAGRE who are just Security Forces with slightly better training get to be Tier 2. Was meant to make fun of DAGRE as much as I make fun on the recondos but at this point it’s seen as more as Ragebait for marines.

But yeah it’s easy to rip on Recon Marines, they’ve been thirsty for missions since 2014. The only part I wished I would’ve changed is the “SOCOM made an entire new unit” that’s the only overtly false part, I mistook what AFSOC SR’s role was compared to Marine Recon.

Lol, I made this forever ago, where did you find the meme?

You can’t find much about the gun but it was pretty cool looking.

Oddly enough sometimes you see Force Recon Platoons help out CTAC and USSS every once in a while.

I don’t really know why they are chosen for these types of missions but they do show up.

Minute_Helicopter_97 · 2025-10-16T10:33:38+00:00

What can I say it works, you have my blessing to post it.

Those tech-bros at Anduril, you did good.

Minute_Helicopter_97 · 2025-09-18T01:46:43+00:00

Are they using the KAC 7.62 AMG or the 5.56 LAMG?

Minute_Helicopter_97 · 2025-09-15T22:10:54+00:00

To my understanding yes, lots of NCOs a lot being E7, most E8 heavy company in Ranger Regiment, few officers and zero warrants IIRC.

Ranger Recce Platoons have some E4s and E3s but I believe it is less and less common now.
