“Special Forces Marine” — ?????
That's “Force Reconnaissance" commonly referred to as
Force Recon. A friend of mine was in them and I always thought he was saying "Forest Recon." Later I read up on this highly skilled Special Forces Operations capable unit.
The Clint Eastwood movie Heartbreak Ridge was about a Force Recon unit.

You almost got it right. They might be “Special Operations” capable, but no where near Special Forces capable.

Don’t confuse FORECON with MARSOC.
