The United States Marine Corps's Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion, —formerly Company, was a specialized team of Marines and Navy Corpsmen that performed clandestine preliminary pre-D-Day amphibious reconnaissance of planned beachheads and its littoral area within uncharted enemy territory for the V Amphibious Corps, which subsequently forming under the Fleet Marine Force's Pacific fleet during World War II.

The Amphib Recon companies are the patron of the Force Reconnaissance companies that continued to provide FMF-level reconnaissance in its latter years. Often accompanied by Navy Underwater Demolition Teams and the early-division recon companies, the amphib recon unit performed more reconnaissance missions (over 150) than any other single recon unit during the Pacific campaigns.[1]

Their lineage of amphibious techniques utilized insertion methods under the cover of darkness by rubber boats, patrol torpedo boats, Catalina flying boats, converted high speed destroyer transport ships, or APDs and submarines for troop transports.[2] Their assignments included scouting or reconnoitering a planned or potential landing site and intelligence-gathering missions. These teams also evaluated the beaches looking for exits off the hostile beaches inland. Most importantly, they compromised the locations of enemy forces, their strengths and weapons in the follow-up of an amphibious assault.

They applied skills in topographic surveys and hydrographic surveys by charting and measuring water depths and coral heads, and terrain inland; taking photographs and soil samples for permeability for amphibious tractors and landing craft parties. Their efforts have contributed to the success of the United States Marines and Army joint-maritime landing forces during the island-hopping campaigns of the numerous atolls in the Pacific.
