Description: This tradition has continued to the present day with the current Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations      Capable). The purpose of this thesis is first to assess Marine Corps hybrid operations in specific historical cases      in order to rate the Marine Corps' historical performance in such roles. Secondly, the thesis will provide an      assessment of the current MEU(SOC) program, with emphasis placed on its relevance in current and future      operations, as well as deconfliction with established Special Operations Forces (SOF) that fall under the      auspices of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
