  • Marine Raiders are the Corps’ special operations unit and the newest addition to US Special Operations Command. Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) was established in 2006, and the unit’s critical skills operators were officially designated “Raiders” in 2015 - a tribute to and extension of the proud legacy of the Marine Raider battalions of World War II, which were developed as a special missions force in 1942 and disbanded two years later.

      @@maxb4210 The whole thing is just a 21 day suck fest in my opinion. In one day we had a 12 mile ruck, multi-hour land nav test, 1 km swim in combat gear, 11 minute water tread (that was more like 20 minutes), and after all that we had to do intelligence and awareness tests and recite basic terminology we learned early. No breaks, no meals until the end of it, and we operated on only an hour or two of sleep.
      Basically, it is the same as Ranger Selection, but with more water oriented work.
      The hardest part of selection is integrity and personality/character. Many guys are good marines in all ways on paper, but something about their personality would clash with the guys currently in the Raider Regiment so they are cut.
      If you want to make it you need to be smart, have a high stress tolerance, and be able to work with and be compatible with any number of personalities. The personality is big because it isn't about being the BEST Marine, it is about being the RIGHT Marine.

    My uncle, older brother of my father joined the Marine Reserve. The company was of the 1st of the 5th Battalion. The 1/5 was activated and was used to see the usefullness of assaulting beaches in rubber inflatables, They were call the 1st Special battalion. An idea was raised of possible marine units being like British Commandos. It was decided to go. The 1/ 5 became the 1st Raider and was commanded by Col. Edson.

    Marines that are in a combat mos are trained extremely well, they stay deployed and go through everything from jungle warfare to desert warfare training. Non combat mos marines still are required to stay in top physical shape, and are all basic rifleman, they all went through SOI and train with grunt units. So all these marines you see in this video are in excellent shape , and probably have 18 to 24 months training. The marine corps will also send you or attach you to another unit for specialized training, such as NBC , special weapons, advanced combat swimming, and hand to hand combat. Im sure some of these men fall into this category as well. Camp Lejeune was my duty station for 4 years, I'm proud to have served and proud to all these men that have sacrificed to put themselves through even more phases of elite training..

      As odd as it may be. Its in the name. Raiders. Their purpose was was alot more obvious back in the 1800s when the US was expanding into the asian islands and countries. The whole purpose of the marine raiders is literally, as simplistic as i could put it is to be invaders, pillage plunder raze. ATTACK ATTACK. That was their whole purpose. Essentially they were pirates, but not a very firendly descriptive word i guess. Marine Raiders purpose was to literally RAID RAID. Like ac valhalla raid.
      But gwot kind of changed their modus operandi, no longer “raiding”. And more of a land mobile troop than a mobile ocean force meant to raid and cause essentially chaos on enemy ocean front.
      But now with the end of gwot (for the most part), they can return to their purpose of ocean island raiding.
      And whenever the war in asia kicks off aka most likely against china, the purpose of marine raiders would be to island hop and raid enemy ocean fronts.
      Many dont realize but from the main branches: army, air force, marine, and navy.
      Marine is the only branch that has every asset built internal within the organization. And by proxy, marines should essentially be part of navy. So navy would be the only brach that has every asset built internal within its branch. It has land troops (marines), its own air force (air craft carriers), and everything else on the ships for bombing, artillery, etc.

The Americans would've lost without Raiders and Japanese would take back necessary airfields which will prolong the war causing more casualties. Despite horrible conditions and limited supplies (because the entire Japanese fleet surrounded them) how they achieved their objectives, is beyond me. They're like entire species

Special Tactics Orbital Reconnaissance/Munitions Specialist (STORMS) are space force specialists who infiltrate discreetly behind enemy lines to establish ground-based observation posts of enemy units and territory, and eventually will be capable of directing Munitions/Ordinance-Orbital Network Satellites (MOONS) to direct space-based weapon platforms. Basically they are like air force combat control teams (CCT)and tactical air control parties (TACP), but instead of calling in airstrikes from planes, they use computers and laser designators to call down energy based weapons from orbital satellites.

      @RogersGirl88 Před 2 lety +1

      Actually green berets specialize in augmenting and training local host nation forces to fight against common enemies. Delta are handpicked mostly from green beret A teams (SOMETIMES from rangers or airborne). Raiders are more closely related to army rangers. Whereas rangers are primarily air assault (helicopter fast rope) the raiders are amphibious (landing craft or patrol boats). Arguably the raiders can be called the marine version of navy seals BUT seals specifically take Basic Underwater Demolitions courses (BUDS), whereas raiders receive traditional ordinance training (c4 or semtex). Raiders were essentially just heavy force recon units in ww2, so i suspect the desire to bring back the moniker of “raider” has more to do with a high ranking career pencil pusher wanting a promotion for an edgy new unit organization.

Yes, they still wear those awesome officer hats in their formal uniform, but in the brown uniform raider from private to staff sergeant get a “blood stripe” red beret with black leather band, gunnery sergeant to master gunny gets a “gunnery gold” yellow beret with white leather band, and officers get a “jungle raider” green beret with ww2 style brown leather band .

      Sure, just as soon as you take the joint out of your mouth and hit the gym. My advice; if you really wanna serve give yourself 6 months to get clean and workout everyday. Then join the air force. The training is much easier and the pay is still the same. If you do security forces (military police), you take a 3 month school after bootcamp where you learn how to use machine guns, grenade launchers, assault rifles, law enforcement, hand to hand combat, vehicle convoy defense, and airbase security. If it seems to easy for you after the first few years, volunteer for phoenix raven school. It’s a relatively short, but exercise intensive class where you learn how to provide advanced security for air force planes when they travel to other countries. When you graduate you are given your raven number (still only 4 digits because there are so few ravens in the air force currently). You go back to your home base and do normal security force duty, but when a mission comes up you and a small team get on a plane and fly to another country and spend a few days or weeks just standing guard around the aircraft while it is parked. Easy work (maybe a little boring), but it is fairly prestigious in the air force and you get to travel all over the world. Security forces also get to wear dark blue berets in uniform as opposed to the ugly and boring ball caps that everyone else wears in uniform. Maybe try your local air national guard station. Theyre the best kept secret in the military; all the benefits with a fraction of the work, hotter chix, better food and housing, less dangerous, great community college system, and it’s all only one weekend a month plus a week in summer.

      @@brandonlubner9203 i didnt mention it earlier, but since you replied i have one other recommendation if you seek a “challenge”. Air force has the best special operations tier 1 unit in the us military. Parajumpers (PJ’s) take 2 full years of training to earn their Crimson Berets (blood red) and their Pararescueman Badge (with the motto “that others may live”). They have 1 main job. They deploy to combat zones, wait around until friendly forces come under attack and get wounded, and then they load up in pave low helicopters and fly right into the thick of the fighting to rescue wounded soldier, marines, rangers, green berets, etc. They fast rope out of the choppers and provide advanced first aid treatment, while the aerial gunners in the chopper lay down suppressive fire with miniguns. They patch up the wounded friendlies and load them into the evac helicopter. If you ever saw Black Hawk Down, the guy who says he will make everybody margheritas was a PJ. They are right in the thick of the danger, they are beloved by all the us military special ops guys, their training is the toughest in the military, and they dont have to sleep in foxholes since they live on base near the medical station. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck.🎖
