Originally Force Recon, they are now known as Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC).
What is the difference between Marine Force Recon and US Marine Corps Forces Special Operations command?
MARSOC was established on Feb 24 2006 and is part of USSOCOM, United States Special Operations Command. MARSOC is 1 of the 5 Special Forces part of SOCOM. AFSOC, ASOC, MARSOC, NAVSPECWARCOM, JSOC MARSOC trains, organizes, equips, and when directed by CDRUSSOCOM deploys organized Marine Special Operation Forces worldwide in support of combatant commanders and other agencies. As far as I know Marine Force Recon is separate of SOCOM, but prior to FEB 2006 most current MARSOC team members were part of Force Recon. Force Recon members are highly trained scouts that provide Intelligence and Reconnaissance.

Is Force Recon with MARSOC?
Yes and no. When MARSOC was created in 2006, the direct action platoons (i.e. door kickers) from Force Recon were transferred over and changed into the Marine Special Operations Teams, or MSOTs. The first MARSOC operators were from these Force Recon platoons. This allowed Force Recon to shift their focus back to the intelligence gathering and deep recon missions that they were designed for.
Does MarSOC do Direct action?
Yes, direct action is one of MarSOC's cabailities. They also perform special reconnaissance, unconventional warfare, and foreign internal defense, among other capabilities. They do a lot of the same things as the Army Special Forces, but through Marine Corps resources.

What is the US army rangers equilvent to the marine core?
actually a better question would be what is the marine cores equivalent to the army rangers. the rangers are considered more highly trained and more elite soldiers than the marines (although a marine will tell you other wise). And the marines equivalent would be MARSOC which stands for Marine Special Operations Command.
Will marsoc ever be advertised and well known as the seals marsoc has higher requirements then seals?
MARSOC was created so the USMC could take part in USSOCOM. MARSOC was only created in 2006 and the US Navy SEALs have been around since the 1960's. The reason MARSOC isn't as well known as US Navy SEALs is because they are such a new addition to USSOCOM andthey are still undergoing construction.
What is the difference between force recon or marsoc?
MARSOC is basically a reformed Force Recon. It's the same guys doing the same job.
What is the length of marsoc training?
4 months.
