Marines are Special!

The US Marines are adding an elite force to its already elite force, called the Marine Special Forces Command. From DefenseLink:

The Marine Corps will soon officially join the special operations community with a new Marine Special Operations Command to become a component of U.S. Special Operations Command, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld announced here today.
Rumsfeld announced his approval of the plan, part of a sweeping range of transformations under way to strengthen the U.S. military and its special operations forces, during a Pentagon news briefing.

...The command's members will train foreign military units and carry out other Marine Corps missions traditionally associated with special operations work: intelligence, logistics, fire-support coordination, direct action and special reconnaissance, among them, Powell said.
The 2,600-member command will have three subordinate elements: a special operations regiment, foreign military training unit and special operations support group.
