A Maritime Special Purpose Force (MSPF) was a United States Marine Corps specialized sub-unit of a Marine expeditionary unit (special operations capable) (MEU(SOC)). A MSPF was deployed to give the commanders low profile, two-platoon surgical emplacement in the accessible littoral regions. The MSPF provided the enhanced operational capability and precision skills to complement, enable, and execute selected conventional, maritime special operations. They could also perform operations not resident in traditional amphibious raid companies.

| - A Maritime Special Purpose Force (MSPF) was a United States Marine Corps specialized sub-unit of a Marine expeditionary unit (special operations capable) (MEU(SOC)). A MSPF was deployed to give the commanders low profile, two-platoon surgical emplacement in the accessible littoral regions. The MSPF provided the enhanced operational capability and precision skills to complement, enable, and execute selected conventional, maritime special operations. They could also perform operations not resident in traditional amphibious raid companies. The MSPF provided the MEUs with rapid direct action capabilities. They were also responsible for in extremis hostage rescue (IHR) in urban areas. A MSPF could not operate independently of its parent MEU(SOC), on which it relies for logistics, intelligence, communications, transportation, and fire support. However, it was capable of conducting operations with, or in support of the operators of the United States special operations forces. The MSPF's task organization was often conformed as an addition of the Amphibious Ready Group’s Naval Special Warfare Task Unit detachment. As of 2013 the term MEU(SOC) is obsolete. Marine expeditionary units (MEU) have since 2012 had a Maritime Raid Force (MRF) built around their Force Reconnaissance detachment. (en)
