Thanks He,
Awesome as always.


I'm guessing Deep Reconissance Pltoon is a detachment of the Recon marines. Or are we talking Force ?

I think is 4th force recon co.

Anyone has the video related ?? long ago was accesible from the 31MEU pages, but now the link is dead.
It would be great to see this STRONG MEN ARMED in action...

no hi-res guys?

The Deep Recon Platoon's are Force Recon guys. Force Recon has two types of platoons Deep Recon Platoons (DRP), and Direct Action Platoons (DAP).

3rd Recon Bn is a little funky, it absorbed 5th Force Recon Co., and it became a Deep Recon Co. within 3d Recon Bn.

Good soundtrack (Lynnyrd Skynyrd - Simple man?)
Surprised they didn't use "Free bird" instead.
