BF2S Forums US Marines vs. Navy Seals

One thing that makes U.S. Marines So Awsome is that As Elite as they Are , they are a rather Large unit a Corps. sevral Divisions,

Seals are a much smaller Unit with area spesific training.

man for man seals are Tougher Like jet Interceptor Pilots ! lol

US marines have giving plenty of enemies "permanant Pajama co-ordinates."
Marines have been known to complete there objectives with 72 % losses I believe 20% is where most units Collapse

IMO you can not really compair the 2.  US Marines comprise everyone from front line soldiers to administrative personal.  Now someone in a administrative position will never be better trained then a Navy Seal, because they will never be put in the same position as a Seal would.

Would be better compairing the Army Rangers and Navy Seals, or (not sure for name for special forces Marines) and Navy Seals.

Marine Force Recon is the USMC special forces and you are right that you can't compare the non-special forces marines to an elite group of special forces like the SEAL's.  the training that the SEAL's are put through is so intense that only a select few will make it to Hell Week, which is where the instructors will do everything in their power to try and make you quit.  those who make through Hell Week are the only ones that are deserving of the coveted SEAL 'Budweiser' pin.

Spaztic, don't agree with you...not about the SEALs...but about comparisons...

Navy SEALs, Marine ForceRecon, Army Rangers/Green Berets/etc., and even Air Force SST are all highly-trained specialist for various tasks.

SEALs inflitrate and disrupt...ForceRecon penetrates and relays...Rangers take a front-line assault personally...SSTs take out enemy airbases and secure them for friendly operations...

Americans should be PROUD that we have so many SpecOps specialists. I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with several and I wouldn't trust my life to anyone else in combat. Every service has their own ego invested in being the best...and most of them ARE the best in their area of specialty...

Delta, OTOH, is a multi-service entity that contains elements from most/all of our SpecOps communities. It is also not the only joint-force SpecOps here...

From the above link:  Foreign counterterrorist units, such as (as might be expected) Britain's 22 SAS, France's GIGN, Germany's GSG-9, Israel's Sayeret Matkal/Unit 269, and Australia's own Special Air Service Regiment.

Now those are some forces we could see in future expansions of BF2. SAS of course are included in the SF expansion but none of the rest. Might be cool to see them esspecially the Israel Sayeret Matkal.

10 year old idiot.

well im trained soldier in teh austrian army.. in a force recon unit.

we had some trainigs with NATO troops and US forces where there...

whilst normal army is depending on their infrastructure the marines or a single MEU (marine expeditionary unit) can operate 30-40 days on their own in enemy terretory. they got their own lil army.. choppers LAVs and each MEU ahs a Force REcon detachment. wich is the most common unit to declare as Spec Ops in the Marines.  also each MEU is now Special Operations Detachable. Meaning they can provide Spec Ops but in another sense than the SEAL's or even 1st SFOD-Delta. SEALS have another spectrum of operations whilst Marines "mostly" go into fight with a platoon. the SEALs can operate from 1 man to 12 man in Boat squadrons which form in the end a platoon.

these are very specalised. each man has a special training in one aspect of the operations.. languages, techninc, demolitions, weapons, vehicles and so on... all are divers.. and can oiperate from sea to land and counterwise but they can also operate airborne.. which gives them the name SEa Air Land.

Army Delta was founded by Colonel Charles Beckworth in 1978, which is comparable to SEAL Team 6 (each SEAL team has a different kind of operations spectrum) for counter terror and hostage rescue,

back to the marines... Force Recon however is also a very elite Unit.. each Corporal can try to pass the tests, and if he doesnt fail he gets into a very unique unit.. the Marines themselves feel alone very special because they are one of the 5 main battle forces but with just a little more 174000 active duty marines. meaning they are the smallest of the forces. and are always the spearhead of most US interventions from 1775.

Force recon is a Recoinance Unit which provides Info about and behind enemy lines. trained with parachites and also diving these men can be compared to the SEALs.. still the SEALs have a better and speecialised training.  also we cannot forget about the Green Berets.. like wise Normal Army Special Forces,, from which the so called A-Teams are founded. They can be compared to SEAL in puncto specialisation but not in fighting style the Green Berets are more specialised than the SEALs in Languages and contacting local troops to organise fighting unit made out of Locals.
