3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade (United States)
- 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade (United States)
The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade is a unit in the III Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) and "middleweight" crises response force of choice in the European and Southern Command Areas of Operation. It is able to "operate independently, as a service component, or to lead a Joint Task Force". Self sufficient and interoperable, the 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade possesses extraordinary Command and Control, overwhelming combat power and unmatched operational reach. These capabilities afford the Brigade Commander the ability to sustain his force of 20,000 Marines, influence an area the size of West Virginia, and support a city of 30,000-50,000 souls without dependence on host nation support or regional infrastructure.
