1st Recon Bn. participates in night raid...Photos by Cpl. Jaye Townsend

Note. The Marine Corps has a "elite unit" problem. With talk of MARSOC wanting to re-integrate with conventional USMC then that means you have MARSOC, Force Recon, Recon, Radio Recon, ANGLICO and a few others I can't name all running around basically doing the same mission...especially if the Marines orient towards the Pacific and continues to ignore the rest of the planet. There are no easy answers either. You start shuttering some of those units and streamline things then the other services are gonna have a field day picking off Marines to come to their house. If you don't then you have a weird mix of elite units fighting each other for limited mission sets. Cutting conventional forces is easy. Go after these boys and shit gets hard. Oh and notice in the picks that the 160th is out with Recon. When it comes to SOCOM integrating with conventional forces you have that whole force trying to link up.
Those type Chinooks are only flown by the 160th right???
