Marine Special Operations Teams
Your role in the operation.
Marine Special Operations Teams train for both direct action and reconnaissance. Every Raider develops the shared skills to carry out the team's missions, with responsibilities determined by the operation.
After ITC, graduates join an MSOT and continue training with their team. Additional qualifications, including designated marksman, sniper, and K9, are earned after assignment.
