Responsive and scalable, we team with other services, allies and interagency partners. We enable and participate in joint and combined operations of any magnitude. A middleweight force, we are light enough to get there quickly, but heavy enough to carry the day upon arrival, and capable of operating independent of local infrastructure. We operate throughout the spectrum of threats - irregular, hybrid, conventional - or the shady areas where they overlap. Marines are ready to respond whenever the Nation calls, wherever the President may direct. Support our Marines. Be Part of the Team.
