Real-Life Alignment

Reconnaissance Marines conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, amphibious reconnaissance, raids, limited scale operations, and information-gathering tasks in support of the larger force.

Current SOTF / V35 Use

On the current site, 0321 is the primary enlisted recon identity for 2nd Recon and Force Recon profiles.

Unit Association

This MOS is currently associated on the website with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion / Force Recon. Future member profiles should use the background image tied to the member's assigned unit association.

Command Profile Rule

When this MOS appears on a command profile, the profile must preserve the member's rank, unit, and MOS at the time of each billet, award, citation, or deployment. Current MOS changes should not overwrite older deployment history.

SOTF Responsibilities

These responsibilities mirror the real-world function of the MOS while keeping it usable inside SOTF MISFIT operations.

  • Conduct patrols, observation, reporting, and small-team movement.
  • Support route, objective, and area reconnaissance.
  • Maintain discipline when operating forward of the main element.
  • Report accurately and avoid unnecessary contact unless the mission requires it.
  • Support direct action only when tasked by command.

Pipeline Progression

This pipeline separates real-world alignment from how SOTF will apply the role in-game.

  1. Real-life route: Marine entry training, screening/selection as applicable, Basic Reconnaissance Course, and assignment to a reconnaissance unit.
  2. SOTF route: infantry foundation, recon familiarization, small-team evaluation, comms/reporting check, and 2nd Recon/Force Recon assignment.

Operational Employment

This MOS should be used when it gives the member a real task inside the formation. The role should support the commander, squad, airwing, recon team, medical section, or staff element in a way that matches the real-world purpose of the MOS.

Website Integration Notes

Command profiles using this MOS should follow the Kane West format: profile picture, rank and callsign, current role, deployment or prior-rank history where applicable, MOS/ADMOS, billet history, biography, qualifications, awards, citations, and a unit-associated background image.
