Marsoc is a component command of USSOCOM.

My guess is that the Marines have a line in the rating diagram and that USSOCOM also has one.

MG Hejlik would answer to both.

Roger, I think all of that is true. But, for UCMJ actions, it’ll be strictly along service lines: MARCORSOCOM to HQUSMC.

I am disturbed, as I’m sure you are, by some of the seemingly draconian measures taken against soldiers and Marines for actions in the heat of combat. But, I haven’t seen the evidence, so I’m not going to leap to conclusions based on what I read in the press.

During the First Gulf War, I was responsible for reviewing all of the Army friendly fire incidents. For the most part, the participants got a fair shake. However, I was amazed at some of the poor judgment in some cases, usually by a leader who ought to have known better.
