Often abbreviated as Force Recon or even FORECON, the US Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance special operations, among the top US special forces teams, provide certain elements regarding military intelligence to the command sector of their Marine Air-Ground Task Force, supporting their force commanders as well as their subordinate operating units, the Fleet Marine Force (FMF).

The FORECON does both deep reconnaissance and direct action missions though the majority of the direct action operations are now under MARSOC – the US Marine Special Operations Command, and their Marine Special Operations Team (MSOT). This change in responsibility freed Force Recon to place most of their focus on their intelligence-gathering missions.

The FORECON operates autonomously behind enemy lines, often performing special missions that support conventional warfare. They, like the Navy SEALs, receive land, sea, and air training for insertion and extraction missions. Their focus generally remains primarily on supporting Marine operations.

They are trained to conduct deep reconnaissance, deeper than the Marine Division Recon Battalion, which belongs to the division. They are also trained in some direct action, close-quarters combat, breaching, etc, and have special insertion and extraction skills (static-line parachuting, freefall, SCUBA, etc).
