WELCOME

The Reconnaissance Training Company (RTC) has the honor of hosting some of the militaries most demanding training as it strives to produce Reconnaissance Marines and Scout Snipers.  The training that students undergo while attending any of our courses is mentally and physically challenging by design.  To be successful as a Reconnaissance Marine on the battlefield, it requires intellect, strenght, endurance, skill, and team work.  As such, we're looking for individuals who possess the drive, discipline, maturity, and courage to rise to the challenge and fill the ranks of these storied warrior communities.  If successful, your remaining journey will increase in difficulty, but the sacrifices you will make and the hard-work you will put forth will result in immeasurable reward.  If you think that you have what it takes to become a member of our team, please review the pre-requisites below and then see contact info to answer any questions you may have.
