[MSOB]Marine Special Operations Battalion

Our numbers are few; our contributions are numerous; our results are substantial.

“In small wars, the normal separation of units, both in garrison as well as in the field, requires that all military qualities be well developed in both the individual and the unit. Particular attention should be paid to the development of initiative, adaptability, leadership, teamwork, and tactical proficiency of individuals composing the various units. These qualities, while important in no small degree in major warfare, are exceedingly important in small wars operations.” Small_Wars_Manual_of_1940

I challenge every member of 1stMSOB to read, understand, and demonstrate through their example and actions, the values and ethos we believe in as 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion.
