How many Marine Corps Security Forces personnel are described as protecting key naval installations and facilities?

• A. 1200
• B. 500
• C. 3400
• D. 8000

Answer: (C)

The size question tests knowledge of how many Marines make up the security forces assigned to guarding Navy shore facilities. The Marine Corps Security Forces Regiment concentrates about 3,400 Marines to protect key naval installations and facilities worldwide. This force handles installation security, access control, patrols, and anti-terrorism measures at major bases, ports, and naval yards, operating in coordination with Navy authorities. The figure reflects the typical, steady-state strength of the MCSF; actual personnel levels can shift with deployments and rotations.
