Да, именно, потому что оно выглядит так:
Цитата:
1st Reconnaissance Battalion
Английская версия Вики довольно точна, тем не менее вот этот абзац:
Цитата:
1st Reconnaissance Battalion currently consists of four Reconnaissance companies: a Headquarters and Service Company, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Force Reconnaissance Company. While the Force Reconnaissance Company is an organic element of the battalion, Operational Control of the company resides with the I MEF commander.
вводит в смущение.
Потому что случилось следующее, согласно этому -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Reconnaissance:
Цитата:
After the creation of Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) on August 11, 2006, it marked the United States Marine Corps' first commitment to the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). By February 2006, 2nd FORECON deactivated its command.[7] The most experienced operators were selected to fill the ranks for the newly-established Marine Special Operations Battalions' (MSOBs) teams. A month later in January, 1st FORECON met the same fate.[8] The remaining Marines in both Force Recon companies molded into new "D" companies within the Division Recon Battalions, forming the Deep Reconnaissance Platoons (DRPs). The DRPs are designed to maintain and preserve the 'deep reconnaissance' assets to the MAGTF commanders.
а потом
Цитата:
In October 2008, by the direction of the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), the D companies within both 1st and 2nd Reconnaissance Battalions were redesignated as "Force Reconnaissance" companies and assigned operational control to the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) accordingly, particularly the I MEF and II MEF.[9] These companies will assume the traditional deep reconnaissance and supportive arms mission set and will deploy in support of current directive required by the United States Marine Corps. Since that time, the Marine Corps has also stood up Force Reconnaissance Company, III MEF in Okinawa, Japan.
The three Force Reconnaissance companies of I, II, and III MEF are currently the only active components of force-level reconnaissance; whereas the 3rd and 4th FORECON are the Active Reserve component to the Fleet Marine Force.
Таким образом, 1-я, 2-я и 5-я роты были расформированы в феврале 2006

, а роты D 1-го и 2-го реконбатов стали ротами Форс Рекон, но без номеров. Вообще дата странная, где-то тут ошибка, ИМХО
Чертовы морпехи со своими переформированиями и MSOBом все привычное течение жизни поломали, пока разберешься - весь мозг поломаешь.
Я одного не понимаю, чем роты Форс Рекон неугодили? Смысл их расформирования, при создании в итоге аналогичных рот, но в составе реконбатов???
