Recon vs. MARSOC Two great specialist, very similar, but yet very different. The reason I bring these two up is because I long debated which I will try for, a statement similar to reaching for the stars.

The Raiders do not usually partake in this kind of work. The Recon also can conduct high speed assaults, however it is usual for recon to do so on boats, such as if one is seized by pirates. The MARSOC conduct these type missions but usually on land such taking a convoy or rescuing
