Standing for "Special Operations Training Group," it is a United States Marine Corps
unit generally associated with certifying the Marine Expeditionary
Unit (MEU) Special Operations Capable (SOC). There is one SOTG
unit per Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF).
On top of certifying the various MEUs SOC, the
unit also provides a variety of special operations training ranging from CQB to scout swimmers to spie rigging and much much more.
There are also various other definitions of the acronym (more than likely created by the Marines in the
unit itself). These include but are not limited to:
SOTG - Society Of Tough Guys
SOTG - Special Olympics Training Group
SOTG - Sorry Our Training's
