I find this interesting. Because I work at the MARSOC Q-Course. We are only in our 5th Q-Course here. They are having the same growing pains described above. The students always ask me how do they compare to SF.
I tell them. There is no comparison. I'm not talking about operational skills.
I always have to explain how big SF and the Army is. MARSOC is only three battalions in size. . The USMC is small. So MARSOC do's not have a ocean of resources to pull from for recruits. I always explain the fights we use to have with big Army. Much like the fights they are having with traditional USMC and old school Force Recon.
I tell them, as founding members of this unit. They have a fight on their hands.
