Marine Corps Organization
• Due in part to base realignment and closure (BRAC) 2005, and expansion of the
Marine Corps to 202K, Marine Corps units and their locations are in a constant state
of change. Some units have been placed in “cadre” status for potential reactivation
and are not included here.
Marine Corps Organization
Commandant of the
Marine Corps
Assigned
Marine Corps Forces The Marine Corps is divided into four broad categories.
The focus of this brief will be on the operating forces
and Marine Corps forces reserve.
Fleet Marine Forces
Security Forces
Commandant of the
Marine Corps
• Marine expeditionary force (MEF): The Marine Corps’ principal warfighting organization. MEFs are
the sole standing MAGTFs.
• Marine expeditionary brigade (MEB): The “middle-weight” MAGTF. Crisis response force capable of
forcible entry and enabling the introduction of follow-on forces. Capable of rapid deployment and
employment deploying either by air, in combination with the maritime prepositioning squadron
(MPS), or by amphibious shipping. Not a standing organization, but rather imbedded within the MEF.
• Special purpose MAGTF (SP MAGTF): Task-organized to accomplish a specific mission, operation, or
regionally focused exercise. Can be organized, trained, and equipped to conduct a wide variety of
expeditionary operations, ranging from crisis-response to training exercises and peacetime missions.
Generally employed in the same manner as a MEU. However, under certain circumstances may be
deployed via commercial shipping or aircraft, strategic airlift, or organic Marine aviation.
• Special Purpose MAGTF (Security Cooperation): Tasked with building partner nation security
capacity and supporting partner nation security efforts in a specific regional area. The SPMAGTF
(Security Cooperation) has the mission of helping to train military forces and assisting partner nations
in relieving the conditions that allow instability to proliferate.
