Swimming fins? Check.
Full combat gear? Check.
Arriving ahead of the assault force? Check.
So you were doubting me when I said that we have elements of Force Recon/Recon scattered throughout the "conventional" Marine Corps?! ANGLICO does it like Force...by air and sea and they're a call for fire specialist group...pretty darn useful and a Force mission. Oh and they can operate behind lines. Scout Swimmers. Same. Radio Recon. Same. Scout Snipers. Without a doubt. But I digress. Check out these Marines practicing the skillset. Oh and someone needs to clean that damn beach!
