Correct.

There are no female Rangers. There was a few girls who were pushed through Ranger school for political purposes and due to Army Officer cucks being pressured to allow it.

Honestly, I’m very happy the Marine Corps officers haven’t folded to such cuckness. Mattis would probably eat children if that happened though.

Females have passed IOC as well so who knows what kind of shenanigans went down.

Well frick me running. Guess things change. 75th is still an elite tier 2 unit, the same tier as SEALS, SF, MARSOC

I didn’t personally work with any seals but every person I met that had said they are some of the biggest arrogant douchebags you never want to be around again.


Your assessment is spot the hell on

MARSOC falls under SOCOM, which can be employed by JSOC at any given time. JSOC doesn’t have any units that fall under if full-time (at least that’s my understanding)

And they typically pull units (Delta, DEVGRU) as needed. That chart shows those units, amongst others, because those units have most been employed under a JSOC command in the past.

MARSOC is still relatively new (11 years) so it hasn’t really cut its teeth under JSOC. They still get the crappier missions that aren’t as sexy as the other units. They get the “secure this area” mission, not the “Kill Bin-Laden” missions, largely due to their newness.

Good name for a band. So are they just a seriously top notch group of SEALs or something special?

Just FYI, every military branch has tier 1 units. Seals are the only ones that go write books and try to get famous. Everyone else just does their jobs like professionals.
