After 9/11, the Marines Had to Build MARSOC Fast

After 9/11, the U.S. military faced an urgent problem: it needed more Special Operations Forces.

USMC veteran John A. Dailey was selected as one of four team leaders for Detachment One, the Marine Corps proof-of-concept unit that helped pave the way for what would become MARSOC.

In this clip from The MisFitNation, John explains how the chaos following 9/11 changed the mission, why the Marine Corps was brought into the special operations fight, and what it was like helping build something that would eventually grow into one of America’s premier special operations forces.
