Watch: The difference between Marine Recon and Marine Raiders

November 28, 2017 by Loadout Room Guest Authors 2 Comments

Watch: The difference bertween Marine Recon and Marine Raiders

This is definitely the most requested video I have had. Rightfully so because the history of Reconnaissance and Marine Raiders are so intertwined it can leave someone filling a bit confused, I have your back. Not only does this video give you my military history, it also gives you the history of Marine Recon and Marine Raiders (MARSOC), the requirements to get into both units, and also some very sound advice from other Recon and Raider Operators. So get some popcorn, grab a notepad, and put your feet up. Enjoy! – Nick Koumalatsos
