    Greenbacks, maybe?

    Is there some way in which MARSOC is not redundant within USSOCOM? Mine is a non-rhetorical question—I am not clear on what they do.

    Each service has their 'part' of USSOCOM. So you have MARSOC as the Marine part of it, ARSOC as the Army part of it, etc.
    USSOCOM is the overall HQ, but under that, each branch has a piece.
