Two very different organisations, with very different roles. Comparing the two is incorrect. SFSG are aligned and train with US (SF) Rangers, and your Marine Force recce thing, is more akin to either the Moutain and Arctic warfare Cadre of the Royal Marine Commandos, or the Pathfinder Platoon of the Parachute Regiment.

I will point out your incorrect as to the weapon system of the SFSG, they no longer use the SA80 L1A2, they are equipped with the Canadian version of the Demarco, with both long and short barrels dependant upon the role they are in, ie. CT, or conventional war fighting. In addition to support SF operations, they are also charged with conducting their own, of which you will ot read about or hear about until years have passed. All soldiers are cross trained in a multitude of skills for all theatres of operations.

I hope this adds some value.
