I am a college graduate and I am looking to either enlist in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps.

My interests are:

SEAL, USMC Recon, USMC Force Recon, USMC Deep Recon, 75th Ranger Regiment, or Green Beret.

I would love more information.

Welcome to Shadowspear.

I do have a question for you. What is "Deep Recon"?

 

[JohhnyCrash]

I have absolutely no Idea. I have no military in my family (nor do I know any) and that is one of the questions I have. I just posted a thread in general discussion. I had a feeling that Deep Recon was Force Recon. Please excuse my ignorance if I am wrong. I am just trying to get information.

If you go down far enough they talk about "Deep Recon platoons"

Deep Reconnaissance Platoons, or DRPs, are units within Recon Battalions that carry out the role of Force Reconnaissance. The first DRPs were formed in March 1975 after the conclusion of American involvement in the Vietnam War, when the Marine Corps was downsized; Force Recon was reduced to a single regular company. Both 1st and 3d Battalion received a 23-man Deep Reconnaissance Platoon.[4] DRPs gained additional importance in 2006, when all active-duty Force Recon companies were transferred to Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command and became Marine Special Operations Battalions. Force Recon Marines not in an MSOB became part of the DRPs, which were placed in the Delta Companies of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Recon Battalions.[5]thumbnail

I was thinking units not individual platoons. I sent a message to a member who should know more about that to come clarify.

Ok awesome. So I am not completely out of it? Haha. I was so confused when I heard that Special Operations Capable were Recon, Force Recon and Deep Recon and SO (under SOCOM) was MARSOC. So many units that seem to have a similar mission.

Welcome.

I would recommend that you look at the mission each unit performs and decide which is what you like best. Though there are many overlaps, every unit listed above all serve different purposes.
