美國海軍陸戰隊武裝偵察部隊

黑色行動時，陸戰隊員會攜帶更多武器以用於限制空間作戰：手榴彈、卡賓槍、冲锋枪，與任何用於破壞障礙物和門的工具。他們可配有包含雷射指標的器材以「描繪」其目標和雷射導引座標以打擊 deliver payload to 預期外目標. 由於他們是「主動向敵進攻」（bringing the fight to the enemy），他們並不會依靠偽裝因於這些狀況中「潛行滲透」不為其要素

除了於兩棲任務-基本工作中使用潛水員水下呼吸器（SCUBA），武裝偵察部隊會執行傘降任務與維護傘具。這是和偵察師最大的不同與差別—所有武裝偵察部隊成員皆需為跳傘員。其跳伞裝備存放於於武裝偵察部隊的 Parachute Loft之中

Parachute pack systems—The 降落傘 is one of the 註冊商標 of Force Recon, throughout its existence the operators have extensively used a wide variety of parachutes. 1950年代中期, they used the T-10, then later adopting the Capewell canopy release which provided a cut-away to reduce the deadly effect of drag. The T-10 became the most frequented parachute; which had two variants, one for low-level static line (LLSL) and the other for 軍事自由落體跳傘（MFF） descends. They had numerous parachutes listed under the 裝備表 （T/E） that had been contained in the Paraloft. Even in its formative days in the 陸戰隊戰術實驗組, the operators and testers of the 海軍空降小隊（NPU） at 埃爾森特羅美國海軍航空設施 had tested and sported numerous parachutes, adding modifications and suggestions that soon were adopted by other parachutists. By the 1990年代，MC-4和MC-5型衝壓空氣翼傘（Ram Air Parachutes） became the feasible choice, as it allows more detailed and accurate landing in smaller areas, easy to control—especially during oscillation of the canopy. Plus, it was formed to modulate between the LLSL and MFF without having to consort to a different pack.

These are parachutes that are still contained in the T/E of the Parachute Loft, however some may not be currently in use:

• T-10
• MC1-B
• MC-series* (MC-4, MC-5) [* Ram Air]
• * Canopies (Main & Reserve): Surface area 370平方英尺（34平方）
• * Altitude range: 3,000英尺（910） AG> to 30,000英尺（9,100） ft MSL
• * Forward speed: 15–25 MPH
• * Rate of descent: 4–18 ft/sec
• * Maximum Load: 700英磅（320）
• Multi-Mission Parachute System (MMPS) [currently being implemented—replacing the older MC-5]

Parachutist Individual Equipment Kit (PIEK)—The PIEK contains all the Force Recon's parachutist clothing and equipment assigned by Force Recon's Paraloft. They are used for the high-altitude MFFs (HAHO or HALO) and LLSL parachute operations. Due to extreme cold encountered during high altitude parachute operations, the parachutist must have protection from the environment.

• 飛行員的頭盔提袋
• Flyer's Kitbag—used to carry operator's rucksack, ammunition, communications, etc.

Single Action Release Personal Equipment Lowering Equipment (SARPELS)—The Force Recon operators are equipped with a complete equipment lowering system for both LLSL and MFF parachute operations. It allows them carry various configurations of all their individual mission-essential equipment, usually contained within their Flyer's Kitbag. SARPELS provides easy access to their weapons and equipment upon parachute landing and has a single-action release capability. It can be front or rear mounted, whichever is preferred. Once they have descended to about 100英尺（30） above the surface, they use the SARPEL to release their gear (weapons/kitbag), dropping it below them while still attached to their harness by a 25-英尺（7.6-） rope. It is used to minimize injuries in landing due to heavy load of equipment. The parachustists must maneuver themselves in order not to drop onto their gear during 降落傘下降著陸。
