Program Summary

The Marine Corps’ Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) and Marine Corps

Prepositioning Program has been operationally invaluable in supporting our Nation’s interests across the world. This unique program provides the essential elements needed to support and execute crisis response, global reach, and forward presence. The Marine Corps’ Prepositioning Program enables the rapid deployment of Marine Air Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs) and/or augment individual Marine units

forward deployed. These forces are uniquely capable of strengthening alliances, securing strategic access, and defeating hostile adversaries. MPF is keystone in the Marine Corps’ capability for setting the conditions for national security. The prepositioning of equipment and supplies to support MAGTFs from Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB), to Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) level employment, enables Marine forces to fulfil their role and responsibility as our Nation’s force in readiness. Our prepositioning programs will continue to enable operations across the Joint Operational continuum – including shaping, deterrence, seizing the initiative, domination, stabilization, and enabling of civilian authorities. When combined with the forces and their equipment arriving in the fly-in echelon (FIE), prepositioning programs

provide forward deployed equipment and supplies needed to sustain a MEB-sized MAGTF for 30 days of operations; thus reducing total strategic lift requirements.
