Both Navy Seals and US Marine Force Recon are effective fighting forces, but they have different missions. Seals operate on a very small- unit individual mission basis, as their killing of Osama bin Laden demonstrated, while Marine Recon will scout a battlefield and destroy any key defenses prior to a Marine assault. Neither is 'better'; both are incredibly effective at what they do.

∙ 14y agoit is better for navy seal because they are on the sea, you must believe on them
"Better" is a relative term. Both organizations have very important and different roles in protecting the United States.

A:
Navy SEALs, because Force RECON has been disbanded. It's called MARSOC now.
But seriously, I'd have to say SEALs.
DOR (drop on request) rates-
SEALs- 75-80% of applicants don't make it.
Force RECON- 60-70%
However, they both have their specific roles. I'm just biased.
navy seals work with regular marines! How can they be better the force that has to pass every military school for every force!!! they go through navy seal, green beret, air borne ranger, and air force special tactics!!! the reason less navy make it is because they're not as well trained in boot camp, i have 2 cousins in the air force, 1 in the army training to be green beret, and a retired navy cousin but my uncle in the marines which is better physicly and mentally trained then all 4 and all agree the marines are the most elite which force recon are classified operationist anyway, semper fi!
A:
where does the guy who listed the drop out rates get his percentages, the seals can be enlisted sailors straight outta the navys so called boot camp when marines marsoc have to have a first enlistment over with hence a four year active four year reserve total eight year enlistment before a socom combined marsoc and airborne, buds training do the math semper fidelis
A:
Navy SEALs, because Force RECON has been disbanded. It's called MARSOC now.
But seriously, I'd have to say SEALs. Simply because of their ability to work in Sea Air and Land operations ( hence SEAls ). However MARSOC is still a great fighting force that gets the job done and gets it done well. But if you need a force of less than 5 guys that can parachute behind enemy lines, swim to a target using a rebreather Scuba tank, blow up that target, rescue multiple hostages guarded by dozens of enemy insurgeons, and pretty much every other mission in between then you should probably call the Navy SEALs.
This is a different answer:
OK Marine FORCE Recon is not disbanded 3rd and 4th Force Recon companies are still in service only 1st and Second Force Recon Companies were disbanded. And to the guy with the DOR statistics and the 2 cousins in AF and The marine uncle. Were you saying that seals are better and then argue that Marine Recon is better and better trained? Because its sounds like you contradicted yourself first saying Seals were better then saying MArine Force Recon is better. And as a Recon Marine myself, OORAH! most of the members of 1st and 2nd Force recon were put in DRP (deep recon platoons) within each divisions Recon battalions. Also the word going around is that Since SOCOM screwed up the operational roles within the Marine Recon Units SecNav decided to reincorporate the individual Force Recon Companies such as 1st and 2nd Force Recon.. So now that all that's cleared up Marine Force Recon Is superior by the Slightest margin to the seals because of the Preferred use of Marine Force Recon in Black "hush hush" operations with the CIA as well as their recruitment process into the CIA Special operations Division in which Force Recon member are almost exclusive for recruitment

∙ 13y agothe navel seals are the most "elite" task force in the US. no one compares to the training that the seals do. the Marine force recon have intense training, but the fact is that the seals endure much more pain and stress on the body.

Who is better force recon or navy seals?
SEALs
Will the Marines beat the Navy Seals?
Marines are not on par with the Seals. Marines are a regular force, seals are special operations. A more likely match would be Marine Recon Vs Seal
What is the marines recon?
Marine Force Recon is a branch of MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) and their job is to locate HVT's (High Value Targets) and other threats for the main infantry. There is no question about it, they are the most elite fighters in the United States. Many say that Navy SEALs are more elite, but there are over 3,000 SEALs in the world, and only about 300 Force Recon Marines in the world.
What is the name for the elite force of Marines like Navy Seals?
probably marine force recon or scout snipers
Who is better army green berets or marine force recon?
Navy SEALs
Do the Navy seals have both navy and marine service men?
The navy SEALs are their own group of specially trained soldiers underwater and on land....no air....... SEAL stands for SEA for fight by sea, the A is for Air and L for land. The SEAL's can do insertion by Sea of course, and Land. the Air part is there for there insertion through HAHO jumps or HALO jumps. They can only do insertions by Air. They cant fight in air. They are the U.S. Military second best Special Operations unit. After Delta Force. They are Second best because of there missions. they can do search and destroy and rescue missions. Any mission is possible for a SEAL except air to air combat. The only time Marine Personal would be with Seals is if they were assisting them. They are never considered one whole team. The Marines have an elite team of there own called Force Recon. these Marine are highly trained but not as much as SEALs. they can perform HAHO jumps and HALO. they can Scuba and attack by land just like seals. the Seals have better equipment and better training, but they sometimes do work with Force Recon Marines because Force Recon Marines are usually in the same vacinity as Seals, on ships. The only reason Force Recon isn't considered Special Forces is because the Corps did not want to give up one of there Special units to Special Forces Command. this way the Corps controls what Recon Marines do. so if the Navy wanted the Marines to send force Recon with a group of there Seals, they would have to get permission from the Corps not the Special Forces Command.
Are Marines ever in the SEALS?
The SEALS are a US Navy unit. The Marines have their own special forces, Recon. They may cross train, but they have different missions and skill sets.
Who is better the marines the rangers or the navy seals?
Marines are regular forces but have their own specialist special operations branches such as force recon. Rangers are elite light infantry who are trained to support tier one sf on operations. Seals are a special operations force who are as good or better than the rangers on land but are also trained in military diving and free fall parachuting. These skills set them apart, they also have the most difficult training of the 3 units. So the SEALs are 'the best'.
Is it possible for navy seals to transition to the marines force recon?
Probably, but you wouldn't want to, often guys go from Force Recon to SEALs. SEALs are the top, if someone wanted to stop operating, they would transition to a job still involved with the Navy Special Warfare community, not to another branch or to a different community, you don't go through the things you have to in order to be a SEAL just to go back, SEALs start off in things like Force Recon amd Army SF. Being a SEAL is the ultimate goal
How many American special forces groups are there?
. Rangers(Army) Delta Force(Army) Green Berets(Army) 160th SOAR(A)(Army) Force Recon(Marines) SEALs(Navy) STS/PJ's(Air Force)

If the Army has the Army Rangers who do the Marines have?
The U.S. Army have the U.S. Army Rangers and U.S. Army Special Forces more commonly know as the Green Berets and the U.S. Marine Corps have Recon Marines (split into Divison Recon and Force Recon), who are special forces-capable, and MARSOC, which is their contribution to SOCOM (Special Operations Command)and are up their with Navy SEALs, U.S. Army Special Forces, and Air Force Pararescue.
