Will marsoc ever be advertised and well known as the seals marsoc has higher requirements then seals?

MARSOC was created so the USMC could take part in USSOCOM. MARSOC was only created in 2006 and the US Navy SEALs have been around since the 1960's. The reason MARSOC isn't as well known as US Navy SEALs is because they are such a new addition to USSOCOM andthey are still undergoing construction.

Is Force Recon with MARSOC?

Yes and no. When MARSOC was created in 2006, the direct action platoons (i.e. door kickers) from Force Recon were transferred over and changed into the Marine Special Operations Teams, or MSOTs. The first MARSOC operators were from these Force Recon platoons. This allowed Force Recon to shift their focus back to the intelligence gathering and deep recon missions that they were designed for.

What is the difference between Marine Force Recon and US Marine Corps Forces Special Operations command?

MARSOC was established on Feb 24 2006 and is part of USSOCOM, United States Special Operations Command. MARSOC is 1 of the 5 Special Forces part of SOCOM. AFSOC, ASOC, MARSOC, NAVSPECWARCOM, JSOC MARSOC trains, organizes, equips, and when directed by CDRUSSOCOM deploys organized Marine Special Operation Forces worldwide in support of combatant commanders and other agencies. As far as I know Marine Force Recon is separate of SOCOM, but prior to FEB 2006 most current MARSOC team members were part of Force Recon. Force Recon members are highly trained scouts that provide Intelligence and Reconnaissance.

Are the U.S. Marines in The Hunt for Eagle One MARSOC marines or regular infantry marines?

Based on the fact that the movie came out in January 2006 and MARSOC wasn't officially stood up late February 2006, it was most likely meant to be Force Recon Marines that are portrayed in the movie.
