Sustaining the force
“Marine employment and integration of air
and ground based capabilities reflects
our innovative approach to warfighting.
History has shown that this approach
can be applied with effect in missions
that range from security cooperation to
major combat operations. Our MAGTFs
are task organized for each mission and
can be employed independently, or as
part of a joint or multinational force.”
