Which elements form a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB)?

• A. MAGTF built around reinforced infantry regiment, aircraft group, CLR (FWD)
• B. Brig. General
• C. Capable of rapid deployment and employment via amphibious shipping, strategic airlift, Maritime Prepositioned Force
• D. Maintains a standard MEU organization

Answer: (A)

A Marine Expeditionary Brigade is organized as a Marine Air-Ground Task Force built around three core elements: a reinforced infantry regiment to provide the ground combat power, a Marine Aircraft Group to deliver the air power and mobility, and a Combat Logistics Regiment (Forward) to sustain the force with in-theater logistics, maintenance, and support. This combination gives the MEB the ability to conduct sustained operations ashore with integrated ground, air, and logistics capabilities without immediate external assistance. The other options refer to leadership rank, deployment capabilities, or a different unit’s standard organization, none of which describe the actual elemental composition that defines an MEB.
