What is a MAGTF?

The MAGTF is the Marine Corps’ principle organization for conducting missions across the full spectrum of military operations MAGTFs provide COCOMs, JTF CRDs, or other functional commanders with scalable, versatile naval expeditionary forces able to respond to a broad range of crisis and conflict situations They are balanced, combined-arms force packages containing organic command, ground, aviation, and sustainment elements A single commander leads and coordinates this combined-arms team from peacetime training through deployment MAGTF teams live and train together, further increasing their cohesion and fighting power

MAGTF

It Depends!!!

UNCLASSIFIED

A MAGTF is:

The Marine Corps’ principal organization for all missions across the range of military operations A balanced, air-ground-logistics combined arms task organization of Marine Corps forces under a single commander Task organized in size and capability according to the assigned mission, threat, and battlespace environment Specifically tailored for rapid deployment by air or sea and ideally suited for a forward presence role

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

MAGTF Roles A MAGTF provides the Naval, Joint or Multinational commander with a readily available force capable of operating as— A forward-deployed force providing a strong deterrence in a crisis area A land force or the landward portion of a naval force conducting Stability and Support Operations such as non-combatant evacuations, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief or the tactical recovery of an aircraft or aircrew A force conducting training with allied forces as part of a theater engagement plan The landing force of an amphibious task organization A land force in sustained operations ashore

The MEF is the principal Marine Corps warfighting organization, particularly during larger crises or contingencies.

It is normally commanded by a Lieutenant General.

A MEF can range in size from less than one to multiple divisions and aircraft wings, together with one or more Marine Logistics Groups.

Equipped with 60 days of supplies, MEFs are capable of both amphibious operations and sustained operations ashore in any geographic environment.

With appropriate augmentation, the MEF command element is capable of performing as a Joint Task Force (JTF) headquarters.

Marine Air Ground Task Forces are categorized into four types. There are three standing Marine Expeditionary Forces, or MEFs, which are the largest, and from which geographical combatant commanders draw upon to get scalable MAGTFs to project combat power across the spectrum of conflict.

As you can see here, the possibilities range from small, special-purpose MAGTFs, up to a decisive force of 100,00 troops prepared for sustained combat operations.

SCMAGTF is new, used for engagement purposes

Anatomy of a MAGTF

Ground Combat Element (GCE) Aviation Combat Element (ACE) Logistics Combat Element (LCE)

Command Element (CE)

MAGTF Comparison The MEU is best suited for operations across the lower end of the spectrum of military operations.

The MEB is a medium-sized, task-organized MAGTF able to respond across the range of military operations.

The MEF is best suited for campaigns and major combat operations.

MSTP Background Origin: Operation DESERT STORM Significant warfighting deficiencies at MEF-level Planning and executing a MAGTF fight MCO 1500.53 written 15 Apr 93: Gen Boomer Mar 2012: MSTP Division (MSTP “D”) created by CG TECOM

References:

MCO 1500.53B - MSTP MCO dtd 5 Mar 2013 MEF and MEB focus Codifies MSTP’s roles and responsibilities MCO 3500.11F – MAGTF Training Program dtd 25 Apr 2015 Addresses the MAGTFTP/LSE and roles of training agencies ISO Service-level training

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

The basis for the MSTP origin stems from issues encountered in the stand-up and execution of I MEF operations in DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM in 1990-91. Gen Boomer’s observations and direction regarding I MEF’s planning and execution led to the first MSTP order, MCO 1500.3, in 1993. The order dated 30 Aug 2002, provides detailed information regarding the mission and CMC intent for MSTP, along with a detailed concept of operations and associated tasks. The current order, MCO 1500.53B, is dated 5 Mar 13, with several updates.

Only deployable staff training program in support of the MEB/MEF CE

Other Service/Joint staff training programs:

U.S. Army Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth KS Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) Training Audience - Corps & Brigade HQ

Joint Staff J7 South (JS J7), Suffolk, VA Deployable Training Team (DTT) Training Audience - JTF HQ

MSTP Background

UNCLASSIFIED

MSTP Mission and Guidance Mission: MSTP provides training in MAGTF operations across the range of military operations, within the context of a Joint and/or Combined Task Force environment, to improve the warfighting skills of senior commanders and their staffs.

CMC Intent: MSTP will provide realistic, challenging training for MAGTF commanders and their staffs in accordance with Commandant’s Planning Guidance/FRAGO and Marine Corps Service Campaign Plan 2014-2022.

Specified Task: Provide a comprehensive training package to each MEF and MEB at least once every two years.

Implied Tasks: IAW TECOM direction and budget limitations, MSTP plans for 4 exercises / year and support to Marine Corps University Operating Forces:

Support to 3x MEFs (I/II/III MEFs), 4x MEBs (1st/2nd/3rd/5th MEBs) MCU: instruction in operational planning provided to PME programs
