Welcome to the 4th Force
Reconnaissance Company
The Fourth Force Reconnaissance Company
represents the only Selected Marine Corps Reserve
Unit in the state of Hawaii. The unique and demanding
mission requires the very best citizen Marines the
Fiftieth State and our country can muster to accomplish
the myriad of tasks the company may be called upon
to execute in times of crisis or national emergency.
Moreover, Marines of this company continually shoulder
the responsibility of service as ambassadors of our
country, our state, and our Corps as regular training
exercises take members of the company throughout the
world. As members of "Hawaii's
Own," Marines of this company
demonstrate an unwavering commitment to our community
through a number of support programs ranging from
the annual Toys for tots Campaign to assistance in
our local schools through the Adopt-a-School Program.
