"We’re going to out-guerrilla the guerrilla and out-ambush the ambush… because we’re smarter, we have greater mobility and firepower, we have endurance and more to fight for… and we’ve got more guts."
- Staff Sergeant Wells, Force Recon, Third Squad.
So you think you got the guts to be in Force Recon, huh? Okay, new guy, first you're not going to need any of that shit they give you out of basic. All this stuff is gonna weigh you down and make you a significantly easier target. Out there, all you got is your instincts and your rifle.
First Squad, "Snake Eaters"
| Job | Role | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
 Squad Leader  |
You're in control of a squad of United States Colonial Marines Force Recon. You've been sent on a special mission by command. You're on your own out there. Make sure everyone comes home, dead or alive. | Hard |
 Assistant Squad Leader |
You're the assistant to the Squad Leader. Stay on his ass and keep the squad together. | Hard |
 Squad Medic  |
The sergeants might be the guys who keep everyone together, but your job is to LITERALLY keep everyone together. If someone goes down, they're out for good. Keep your head down; there might not be anyone else to pick up the slack if you go down. | Hard |
 Squad RTO  |
You support a squad of FORECON as their Telephone Radio Operator. It's your job to ensure they get the proper support they need and make it home breathing and in one piece. | Medium |
 Squad Smartgunner  |
Fire support is your middle name. Wielding the M56A2 smartgun, you're either the pointman or rear guard of the whole platoon, capable of laying down immense and devastating fire against your enemies. The M56A2 won't fire if it detects that it will hit an enemy if fired; get your ass to the front. Show 'em what a real tough hombre looks like. |
Easy |
 Rifleman |
You're the rank and file grunt of your squad, but that doesn't mean you aren't capable. Your duty is to follow orders and make sure the job gets done, whether that means you have to take up the job as your squad's combat technician, incinerator, pointman with a shotgun, or just a plain old rifleman. You always get the job done. | Easy |
