Road Trip: United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, North Carolina

United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) is a component command of the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) that comprises the Marine Corps' contribution to SOCOM. Its core capabilities are direct action, special reconnaissance and foreign internal defense. MARSOC has also been directed to conduct counter-terrorism, information operations, and unconventional warfare.

It's creation was announced on November 1, 2005 by US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, following a meeting between him, the USSOCOM commander General Bryan D. Brown, and the Marine Corps Commandant General Michael Hagee on 28 October 2005. MARSOC was officially activated on February 24, 2006 with ceremonies at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

On Feb. 24, 2006 MARSOC activated at Camp Lejeune, N.C. MARSOC initially consisted of a small staff and the Foreign Military Training Unit, which had been formed to conduct foreign internal defense. FMTU was then designated as the Marine Special Operations Advisor Group.

In the months after the activation of MARSOC, the structure and personnel of both 1st and 2d Force Reconnaissance Company transferred to MARSOC to form 1st and 2d Marine Special Operations Battalions.

In April of 2009, MSOAG was re-designated as the Marine Special Operations Regiment with the 1st, 2d, and 3d MSOBs as subordinate units. The newly designated 3d MSOB incorporated the structure and personnel from MSOAG's former companies.

MARSOC also formed the Marine Special Operations Support Group and the Marine Special Operations School. The MSOSG provides combat support and combat service support to MARSOC units, to include: logistics, communication and intelligence. The MSOS screens, assesses, selects and trains Marine Special Operations Forces and is responsible for developing doctrine.

MARSOC deployed its first units in August 2006, six months after initial activation. Since then, MARSOC has continuously deployed. MARSOC’s current deployments include Marine Special Operations Teams conducting foreign internal defense and Marine Special Operations Companies from the Marine Special Operations Battalions conducting foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance and direct action.

The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.

Oh yes...I had a LOVELY ride, hit some Yard Sales, and got a GREAT Deal on a BIKER LEATHER VEST WITH NICKLE BUTTONS AND LACE UP SIDES!

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. We will stay in the low 80s again today.

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Way to go Beach. You got 50.

Good morning, folks.

Had to run CHKDISK on my Windows 7 computer this morning. The computer froze on me as it started and I had to do an improper shutdown.

Went up to the county health department for my flu shot yesterday. Did you get your yet?

Took Bo up to the vet yesterday. Bo's ears which were infected a couple of weeks ago look much better. They also took a tumor out from under his left arm. The vet also took all the stitches out from his nose. Going to be taking him out to the lake later today.

Also did some lawnmowing. Grass starting to grow from all this rain we had over the weekend.

How's it going for you guys this morning?

[luvie]

Ok! They're open this morning!
I wonder how long I can do this! :)
Hope all you Early Birds have a Terrific Tuesday!!
....and get home on time for rest! ahhhhhh....
((((hugs))))

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! Bummer your computer crashed, but looks like you
know how to kick-start it back to life!

Glad Bo’s nose is doing better. Trips to the lake cheer him
up...both of you, I think!

We had lots of rain too...over 5 inches...and can almost
watch the grass grow! I love it! After the drought we have
had, mowing is the least of our problems! :)

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning ladies and (((HUGS))). We should stay in the low 80s today and may not hit 90 until late in the week!!

[blackie]

Thanks Kathy!
