3D MARINE EXPEDITIONARY BRIGADE

RESILIENT. READY. RELEVANT.

3D MEB maintains a forward presence in the Pacific Theater, responding to contingencies and strengthening alliances in support of the U.S. national security strategy. When a mission in the Indo-Pacific region requires a large MAGTF, but doesn’t require the full force of the III Marine Expeditionary Force, 3D MEB answers the call.
