Force Reconnaissance Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit's (15th MEU) Maritime Raid Force (MRF) sprint forward during a Special Operations Training Group live-fire qualification, May 2012.

The 15th MEU's Force Recon Platoon (FRP) provides the Assault Element for the MRF.

The MRF may be called on to assault a pirate-held ship or carry out a direct action raid against a pirate base on land.

The Assault Element hits the target while Marines from the Battalion Landing Team provide security.
