Our Corps is in transition. As the Marine Corps plan for downsizing and restructuring is implemented, we will evaluate our MAGTF organizations, terminology, and capabilities for deployment and employment. There may be better ways to organize and describe what we can provide to the unified combatant commanders. The MEB, which has been one of our basic MAGTF’s for a long time, will remain part of the structure until FY 94. Our planning and programming efforts; i.e., amphibious lift requirements, Norway Air-Landed MEB (NALMEB), and Maritime Prepositioning Force MEB (MPF MEB), are, and will continue to be for the near term, linked to MEB’s. Componency initiatives are still being developed. Until changes to organizations and terminology are approved and implementation orders are issued, this Order will be the basic directive for organizing the FMF for combat.
