Marines bring back old name for it's elite Marines

[JamesMike]

This will bring back memories for WW II Marines. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/1...marine-corps-resurrects-name-legendary-elite/

Does this replace Force Recon?

Anyway, unless they count kill/capture ops they'll do about as much actual raiding as amphibious landings, although I could see them assuming the counter anti-access/area denial mission.

Still, I like it.
