Organizational Structure Questions and
Answers
MARINE AIR-GROUND TASK FORCE (MAGTF) - answer The Marine air-ground task
force (MAGTF) is the Marine Corps' principal organization for all missions across the
range of military operations, composed of forces task- organized under a single
commander capable of responding rapidly to a contingency anywhere in the world.
The types of forces in the MAGTF are functionally grouped into four core elements
detailed to the right.
The four core elements are categories of forces, not formal commands.
COMMAND ELEMENT (CE) - answerThe headquarters is the core element of a
MAGTF. The command element is composed of the commander, general or executive
and special staff sections, headquarters section, and requisite communications support,
intelligence, and reconnaissance forces necessary to accomplish the mission. The
command element provides command and control, intelligence, and other support
essential for effective planning and execution of operations by the other elements of the
MAGTF. The command element varies in size and composition.
AVIATION COMBAT ELEMENT (ACE) - answerThe aviation combat element provides
all or a portion of the six functions of Marine aviation necessary to accomplish the
MAGTF's mission. These functions are:
•Antiair warfare
•Offensive air support
•Assault support
•Electronic warfare
•Air reconnaissance
•Control of aircraft and missiles
The aviation combat element is usually composed of an aviation unit headquarters and
various other aviation units or their detachments. It can vary in size from a small
aviation detachment of specifically required aircraft to one or more Marine aircraft
wings.
GROUND COMBAT ELEMENT (GCE) - answerIt is usually constructed around an
infantry organization but can vary in size from a small ground unit of any type to one or
more Marine divisions that can be independently maneuvered under the direction of the
MAGTF commander. It includes appropriate ground combat and combat support forces,
, and in a joint or multinational environment, it may contain other Service or multinational
forces assigned or attached to the MAGTF.
LOGISTICS COMBAT ELEMENT (LCE) - answerThe logistics combat element varies in
size from a small detachment to one or more force service support groups. It provides
supply, maintenance, transportation, general engineering, health services, and a variety
of other services to the MAGTF. In a joint or multinational environment, it may also
contain other Service or multinational forces assigned or attached to the MAGTF.
MARINE AIR-GROUND TASK FORCE (MAGTF) - answerThe basic structure of the
MAGTF never varies, though the number, size, and type of Marine Corps units
comprising each of its four elements will always be mission dependent.
•The MAGTF provides a combatant commander or other operational commander with a
versatile expeditionary force capable of responding to a broad range of crisis and
conflict situations. MAGTFs organized, trained, and equipped to perform missions
ranging from:
-Humanitarian assistance
-Peacekeeping
-Intense combat
•MAGTFs operate in permissive, uncertain, and hostile environments, and they may be
shore- or sea-based in support of joint and multinational major operations and/or
campaigns.
•MAGTFs deploy as amphibious, air-contingency, or maritime pre-positioning forces
(MPFs), either as part of a naval expeditionary force or via strategic lift.
MARINE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE (MEF) - answerThe Marine expeditionary force
(MEF) is the largest Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) and the Marine Corps'
principal warfighting organization for larger crises or contingencies.
It is task-organized around a permanent command element and normally consists of
one or more Marine divisions, Marine aircraft wings, and Marine logistics groups.
The Marine expeditionary force is capable of missions across the range of military
operations, including amphibious assault and sustained operations ashore in any
environment. It can operate from a sea base, a land base, or both.
In a joint or multinational environment, it may also contain other Service or multinational
forces assigned or attached to the MAGTF.
COMPONENTS OF THE MEF - answerThe MEF is used for major warfighting
situations, and it has the following components:
•It is normally commanded by a lieutenant general.
•The MEF consists of 20K-90K personnel, which includes the following elements:
- Command element (CE): MEF staff
- Ground combat element (GCE): A Marine division
- Aviation combat element (ACE): A Marine aircraft wing
- Logistics combat element (LCE): A Marine logistics group
•Marine expeditionary brigades (MEBs) are embedded within each of the three MEFs.
•Each MEF forward deploys Marine expeditionary units (MEUs) on a continuous basis.
