Unified Action EPI 8: Beyond Brute Force: Marines in the Joint Expeditionary Fight

See how Marine expeditionary forces plug into large-scale combat operations. This episode breaks down the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) as a flexible core for a joint task force HQ, a functional component, or under land (JFLCC) or maritime (JFMCC) command. We translate amphibious doctrine into options ashore and at sea, showing when and how to employ Marine capabilities to achieve operational objectives.   You’ll learn the roles, functions, and task-organized design of a MAGTF—command element, ground combat element, aviation combat element, and logistics combat element—plus command-and-control pathways inside a joint force. We compare the sizes and use-cases of MEF, MEB, MEU, and SPMAGTF, highlight key limitations and strengths, and walk through integrating Marines into joint courses of action and the planning process. Walk away with a practical framework for sizing, tasking, and commanding MAGTF formations that deliver decisive effects in LSCO.    This episode was created using the following reference materials:    MCDP 1-0, Marine Corps Operations w/ Chg 3, Chapter 1 (1-1 – 1-6, stop at Levels of War); Chapter 2 (2-1 – 2-6, stop at Marine Air-Ground Task Forces)   Joint Military Operations Reference Guide, NWC 3153U, January 2025, pages 59-73   Maintain the Momentum, FRAGO 01-2024, April 2024, pages 2-3, 5-6   2025 Marine Aviation Plan, January 2025, pages 3-4 (stop at Section 2) and page 41.   JP 3-02, Amphibious Operations, 29 Apr 2025, Chapter 1 (I-1 – I-10)
