I was wondering if anybody could provide some input on any Force Reconnaissance operations or missions that have taken place in Iraq so far. Any word on possible casualties as well? Im looking for any news articles, photos, videos etc.

If you are a Marine, then you should know that emphasizing FR than the Marine Corps is blasphemy. The press has been calling FR Marine Commandos, likening them to British Royal Marines. Articles will be hard to come by but here's a few I read.

I am not a Marine yet, I go to boot this July... Yes I do understand how the Marines are already an elite unit and focusing on Force instead of the whole implys that the whole is not elite. I was just looking for some good articles on these bad boys, thanks for the links though.
