Description

This is an old gen Eagle Industries MLCS Patrol Pack in khaki with black zippers and buckles. Buckles dated '02.

Very rare MLCS pack with black zipper in the first place. Now add Detachment One issue and you have a super rare piece. I have only seen one other many years back.

History / Summary

The Marine Corps Special Operations Command Detachment One, also simply known as Det One, was a pilot program of attaching a permanent unit of the United States Marine Corps to the United States Special Operations Command. It was commanded by Col. Robert J. Coates, former commanding officer of 1st Force Reconnaissance Company and Capt. Ryan Snedeker, former executive officer of 1st Force Reconnaissance Company. Det One was activated on 19 June 2003 and had its headquarters at Camp Del Mar Boat Basin in Camp Pendleton, California. It was disbanded in 2006 and succeeded by the permanent United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC).

Personnel

The unit consisted of 81 Marines and 5 Navy Corpsmen divided among 4 sections:reconnaissance element (30 men)
intelligence element (29 men), containing a headquarters element anda Radio Reconnaissance Team (RRT), (9 men)
a SIGINT support team (3 men)
a human intelligence (HUMINT) exploitation team (HET), (6 men)
an all-source fusion team (12 men)fires element (7 men)
headquarters element

The original Marines that formed the detachment were hand-picked from over 500 superior candidates. Despite common misconceptions, Det One was not a beefed-up Force Reconnaissance platoon. While the reconnaissance element was composed mostly of Force Recon Marines, they made up only 24 of the 86 members of the detachment. The detachment, though lacking organic aviation, operated under the Marine Air-Ground Task Force philosophy of leveraging integrated, complementary capabilities to be more effective than the sum of its parts.

More than half of Det One's Recon Marines were trained Scout Snipers.
