The US Marine Corps 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company was a specialized unit that conducted reconnaissance and surveillance missions during the Vietnam War. The unit was formed in 1961 and was composed of highly trained Marines who were selected for their physical and mental toughness, as well as their ability to operate independently in hostile environments.

The 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company was primarily responsible for conducting deep reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines. These missions involved gathering intelligence on enemy troop movements, fortifications, and supply lines. The unit also conducted surveillance and target acquisition missions in support of US military operations.

The Marines of the 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company were trained in a variety of skills, including patrolling, navigation, close combat, and intelligence gathering. They were also trained in specialized techniques, such as underwater reconnaissance and insertion, and were equipped with advanced reconnaissance equipment, such as night vision devices, radios, and cameras.

The missions of the 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company were often dangerous and required the Marines to operate in small, self-sufficient teams. The Marines had to rely on their training, equipment, and each other to complete their missions successfully.
