Overview
Marine Special Operations Command, or MARSOC for short, is the ultra-elite special operations division of the USCM and UA responsible for carrying out clandestine tasks operating above the law, above ethics, and above standard definitions of morality. Formed of the absolute best of the best the Marine Corps has to offer, they're armed to the teeth with the best weapons and equipment that money can buy. A competent and well-trained MARSOC operative is nearly unstoppable, capable of besting even the most formidable adversaries.
Equipment
MARSOC operatives are issued limited-spec firearms developed in-house by the MARSOC weapons development group. They are far stronger (and far more expensive) than standard-issue equipment used by Marines and are only made in limited production.
MARSOC operatives are one of the very few USCM groups to be issued highly expensive Night Vision Goggles (NVGs), capable of letting them see perfectly in the dark.
Backing up a MARSOC operative's arsenal is their support equipment, a curated selection of items to give them the edge in combat. A medical pouch containing advanced medical equipment and a generous helping of medication provides their first-aid, while a tactical tools pouch provides everything they need to breach and clear an area.
Two C4 explosives, an HPDP grenade, M12 grenades, stimulant injectors, and spare ammunition make up the rest of what an operative carries. Next to no space is spared for packing operatives full of almost everything they need for a majority of their missions.
Operators are given codenames according to the phonetic alphabet; every trace of their personal data and real names is wiped from all military records. Nobody remembers them by face or by name. The only one who truly knows a MARSOC operative is themself, and themself only.

Objectives
Very few MARSOC missions are ever the same, and High Command only calls them for very specific, very risky situations.
In any case, it is up to the briefing officer - or High Command - to disclose to you what your goals are and your ultimate mission. Be it hostage retrieval, VIP escort, threat elimination, or even ridding a place of witnesses, your goal is to take your orders, protect those you are ordered to, and eliminate everyone and everything that stands in your way.
Standing Orders
As a MARSOC operative, the only superiors you have are High Command staff and any other personnel High Command instructs you to take orders from. Nothing else gets in your way; not the law, not the Commanding Officer, and not your fellow Marines. Drive them away if they become a problem, and drop them if they become a threat.
In some circumstances, even the Marines might be your enemies - and your targets.
