Members of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit's Force Recon Platoon, along with members of the Radio Reconnaissance Team (RRT) and intelligence section, fire M4A1 carbines during combat marksmanship training exercise on the deck of USS Bataan, April 2011.
Force Recon Platoons carry out deep reconnaissance operations in the Marine Air/Ground Task Force (MAGTF) commander's area of interest.
A Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is the smallest type of MAGTF and acts as a rapid reaction force.
