Force Reconnaissance is the elite of the Marine Corps. These units are tasked towards clandestine missions and are used to operating without much support for the universe around them. Veteran soldiers all, Force Recon units are the best the Marines have to offer.

Much like the Infantry Branch, the basic building block of Force Recon is the soldier and their rifle. They follow an identical model up until it comes to the company level. Here, they do not combine with a heavy weapons platoon, but instead with scout platoon consisting of six antelopes armed with Mk. 24 Machine Guns and M-148 Machine Phasers. Four recon companies are then combined to create a recon battalion. These are then formed into recon regiments.

While all regiments within Force Recon are airborne qualified, the Airborne Corps is another aspect of this unique part of SFMC, providing the Marines with a body of rapid response shock troops that are capable of multiple mission profiles, from covert ariel insertion to full scale planetary assaults. They follow the standard infantry structure except they do not employ the use of heavy weapons companies or battalions. Marine Force Recon personnel, perform highly specialized, small scale, high-risk operations, such as:

• Amphibious and deep ground surveillance.
• Assisting in specialized technical missions such as Biological, Chemical, Radio, sensors and beacons, etc.
• Assisting in ordnance delivery (i.e., designating targets for close air support, artillery and naval gunfire).
• Conducting direct action raids, such as ship and starbase/ground base raids and the capture of specific personnel or sensitive materials.
• Behind Enemy Lines Assault
• Deep Reconnaissance
• Hostage/prisoner of war rescue.
• Unconventional warfare
• Foreign Internal Defense
• Counter-Terrorism
