00:09.779 --> 00:11.819
First , MLG's primary mission is to

00:11.819 --> 00:14.340
provide task organized forces to

00:14.340 --> 00:16.396
provide logistics support to the MEF

00:16.396 --> 00:18.469
and its assigned units beyond its

00:18.469 --> 00:21.139
organic capabilities across the

00:21.139 --> 00:24.479
spectrum of conflict from competition

00:24.860 --> 00:28.620
to crisis to combat operations . We do

00:28.620 --> 00:31.040
this by providing task organized ,

00:31.319 --> 00:34.259
combat-ready units prepared to operate

00:34.259 --> 00:37.159
in high-threat contested environments .

00:37.580 --> 00:39.740
These units are generated from our

00:39.740 --> 00:43.020
seven subordinate commands . Combat

00:43.020 --> 00:45.700
Logistics Regiment 1 , consisting of

00:45.700 --> 00:49.590
Combat Logistics Battalions 157 ,

00:49.900 --> 00:52.659
and 1st Distribution Support Battalion .

00:53.259 --> 00:55.909
Provide forces in direct support of 1st

00:55.909 --> 00:58.580
Marine Division . Combat Logistics

00:58.580 --> 01:01.380
Regiment 17 , consisting of combat

01:01.380 --> 01:05.249
logistics battalions 11 . 13

01:05.518 --> 01:08.098
and 15 provide forces to our marine

01:08.098 --> 01:10.759
expeditionary units and other marine

01:10.759 --> 01:13.338
air-ground task forces as directed .

01:13.679 --> 01:15.457
First Combat Readiness Regiment

01:15.759 --> 01:17.592
provides intermediate supply and

01:17.592 --> 01:19.719
maintenance support in support of one

01:19.719 --> 01:21.663
mass force generation . Priorities

01:21.974 --> 01:24.455
through its separate companies and 1st

01:24.455 --> 01:26.677
maintenance battalion . 1st medical and

01:26.677 --> 01:28.894
1st dental battalions provide 4

01:28.894 --> 01:31.654
deployed specialized medical and dental

01:31.654 --> 01:34.175
support attached to our logistics

01:34.175 --> 01:36.675
combat elements and in general support

01:36.855 --> 01:39.379
of the MF . 7th Engineer Support

01:39.379 --> 01:41.879
Battalion provides task organized

01:41.879 --> 01:44.989
general support engineering units to

01:44.989 --> 01:48.980
include EOD in support of the MAC , and

01:48.980 --> 01:50.924
Headquarters and Service Battalion

01:51.019 --> 01:53.241
provides command and control in support

01:53.241 --> 01:55.019
of the marine logistics . Group

01:55.019 --> 01:56.686
headquarters and food service

01:56.885 --> 01:59.275
dispersing and expeditionary

01:59.275 --> 02:01.386
contracting support in support of the

02:01.386 --> 02:03.885
MP . As a team , we are nearly 8000

02:03.885 --> 02:05.925
Marines and sailors strong and

02:05.925 --> 02:08.845
represent 60% of OneME's logistics

02:08.845 --> 02:11.130
capability . And we are critical

02:11.130 --> 02:13.186
towards the mess ability to generate

02:13.186 --> 02:17.009
combat power from competition to crisis

02:17.220 --> 02:20.460
to combat operations . In combat , we

02:20.460 --> 02:22.750
can expect to see a battlefield that is

02:22.750 --> 02:25.429
rapidly evolving from inexpensive

02:25.429 --> 02:27.589
drones to advance over the horizon

02:27.589 --> 02:30.869
radar . We must anticipate persistent

02:30.869 --> 02:33.036
adversary surveillance and targeting .

02:33.134 --> 02:35.964
Across multiple domains , forces will

02:35.964 --> 02:37.853
operate in a distributed manner ,

02:37.853 --> 02:39.797
challenging our logistics models ,

02:39.934 --> 02:42.294
masking signatures , and leveraging

02:42.294 --> 02:45.014
combined multi-domain attacks to gain

02:45.014 --> 02:47.181
an advantage . While there are ongoing

02:47.181 --> 02:49.375
efforts to accelerate our capabilities

02:49.375 --> 02:51.542
to fight in this type of environment ,

02:51.542 --> 02:53.764
we cannot wait . Our mandate is clear .

02:53.764 --> 02:55.986
We must be ready to fight and win now .

03:03.550 --> 03:05.606
The Ready Set campaign put us on the

03:05.606 --> 03:08.470
right path . Now we sharpen that focus

03:08.470 --> 03:11.279
on one unwavering goal , combat

03:11.279 --> 03:13.869
readiness , the ability of our MLG to

03:13.869 --> 03:17.100
execute our mission in a multi-domain

03:17.360 --> 03:20.080
contested environment anywhere the MF

03:20.080 --> 03:22.240
asks us to fight . We achieved that

03:22.240 --> 03:25.160
goal by improving across three lines of

03:25.160 --> 03:27.800
effort people , platforms , and

03:27.800 --> 03:31.250
performance . To the Marines and

03:31.250 --> 03:33.583
sailors of First Marine Logistics Group .

03:33.583 --> 03:35.417
You drive momentum on the modern

03:35.417 --> 03:37.250
battlefield . Your mission isn't

03:37.250 --> 03:39.472
confined to supply chains and convoys .

03:39.669 --> 03:42.729
Your mission is combat power . Embrace

03:42.729 --> 03:45.050
the warrior ethos . You will be called

03:45.050 --> 03:47.106
upon to establish fighting positions

03:47.169 --> 03:49.169
and deliver that combat power under

03:49.169 --> 03:51.009
fire and in the most demanding

03:51.009 --> 03:52.898
conditions imaginable . You are a

03:52.898 --> 03:54.787
lifeline that fuels the fight and

03:54.787 --> 03:57.009
sustains operational tempo , and you'll

03:57.009 --> 03:59.176
do it with the urgency and reliability

03:59.330 --> 04:01.250
that First MLG always provides .

04:07.910 --> 04:10.160
Sailors and First MLG ensure the

04:10.160 --> 04:12.229
Marines have the care they need to

04:12.229 --> 04:14.007
fight , stay in the fight , and

04:14.007 --> 04:15.785
eventually return home to their

04:15.785 --> 04:17.980
families . You are force multipliers

04:18.320 --> 04:20.264
adapting to meet the ever changing

04:20.264 --> 04:22.098
needs of the Marines in combat .

04:22.100 --> 04:24.100
Together as a Navy and Marine Corps

04:24.100 --> 04:26.279
team , First MLG forms the backbone of

04:26.279 --> 04:30.040
our operational success . A

04:30.040 --> 04:32.359
combat capability consists of

04:32.359 --> 04:34.600
well-trained people and well maintained

04:34.600 --> 04:36.679
platforms . Whether it's a weapons

04:36.679 --> 04:39.079
system , a logistics vehicle , a

04:39.079 --> 04:41.357
medical kit , or a maintenance shelter ,

04:41.600 --> 04:43.600
we cannot support the meth if our

04:43.600 --> 04:45.959
people and equipment are not ready to

04:45.959 --> 04:48.269
fight . We will take pride in our

04:48.269 --> 04:50.709
equipment and optimize the resources

04:50.709 --> 04:53.149
that we are given with the goal of

04:53.149 --> 04:55.989
making us more lethal and survivable in

04:55.989 --> 04:58.640
a contested environment . But

04:58.640 --> 05:00.760
modernization goes beyond equipment .

05:01.040 --> 05:02.959
It's about rethinking the way we

05:02.959 --> 05:04.792
support the meth in this type of

05:04.792 --> 05:06.859
environment . And those ideas cannot

05:06.859 --> 05:09.320
all come from this headquarters . I

05:09.320 --> 05:11.959
need your help and your ideas to

05:11.959 --> 05:14.015
understand how we can better support

05:14.015 --> 05:15.959
the meth and make us more lethal .

05:15.959 --> 05:17.820
Lastly , and more importantly ,

05:18.239 --> 05:20.440
superior , consistent performance is a

05:20.440 --> 05:22.700
hallmark of any warfighting

05:22.700 --> 05:24.756
organization . This is who we are as

05:24.756 --> 05:27.720
Marines and is non-negotiable . In this

05:27.720 --> 05:30.750
MLG , being combat ready is not just a

05:30.750 --> 05:33.559
destination . It's a journey we

05:33.559 --> 05:36.440
undertake every day where we demand

05:36.440 --> 05:38.679
excellence from ourselves and our

05:38.679 --> 05:40.559
teammates . We will measure our

05:40.559 --> 05:42.700
performance against established

05:42.950 --> 05:45.839
foundational Marine Corps standards and

05:45.839 --> 05:48.079
threat informed combat readiness

05:48.079 --> 05:51.929
criteria . To be clear , we see those

05:51.929 --> 05:54.140
standards as the minimum acceptable

05:54.140 --> 05:56.489
levels of performance , and we seek to

05:56.489 --> 05:59.660
exceed it every time we execute .

06:00.070 --> 06:03.260
Expecting this MLG a renewed focus on

06:03.260 --> 06:06.929
unit inspections from Phase mode to LRE

06:07.299 --> 06:09.466
to the commanding general's inspection

06:09.466 --> 06:11.632
program and to our Marine Corps combat

06:11.632 --> 06:13.459
readiness inspections and our

06:13.459 --> 06:15.737
pre-deployment certification exercises .

06:15.980 --> 06:17.760
They will all be data-driven ,

06:18.100 --> 06:20.404
demanding . And realistic with candid

06:20.404 --> 06:23.204
feedback . Marines and sailors , we

06:23.204 --> 06:25.260
should be all proud to serve in this

06:25.260 --> 06:28.964
MLG . Since 1947 , 1st MLG has

06:28.964 --> 06:31.131
distinguished itself in combat . It is

06:31.131 --> 06:35.065
now up to us to uphold that rich legacy

06:35.364 --> 06:38.630
wherever we may get called . The meth

06:38.630 --> 06:41.260
cannot operate without you . We fuel

06:41.260 --> 06:43.940
the fight , we sustain the fight , we

06:43.940 --> 06:45.996
move the fight , and when the moment

06:45.996 --> 06:48.799
comes , there can be no doubt , victory

06:48.799 --> 06:49.760
through logistics .
