The United States Marine Corps Reconnaissance Training Company trains Marines in the amphibious environment as a Reconnaissance Man, MOS 0321. It is under the Advanced Infantry Training Battalion (AITB) of the School of Infantry (West), Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California.

The 50-day Scout Sniper Basic Course provides the operating forces with qualified Scout Snipers with the MOS 0317, who are proficient with advanced scouting and marksmanship skills.

This is the platoon that all junior Marines go to while preparing for BRPC. It is an intensive workout program that develops the Marines to the standards they need to be at to successfully complete BRPC.

BRPC is a 5 week course designed to select marines that are physically able to attend and pass the Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC). BRPC focuses heavily the students mental strength and physical fitness on land as well as in the water. All students regardless of rank must attend and complete BRPC prior to attending the Basic Reconnaissance Course.

BRC is 65 days long with an average training day of 15.5 hours and introduces the students to the amphibious reconnaissance environment. During this tenure, they gain working knowledge of the reconnaissance doctrines, concepts and techniques that emphasize ground and amphibious reconnaissance missions. Also, they learn the fundamentals of all types of weapons (air, sea, and land) that are employed in supporting arms such as calling and adjusting naval gunfire, artillery, and close air support.
