Sustaining the force

• Marine employment and integration of air and
  ground based capabilities reflects our innovative
  approach to warfighting. History has shown that
  this approach can be applied with effect in
  missions that range from security cooperation to
  major combat operations. Our MAGTFs are task
  organized for each mission and can be employed
  independently, or as part of a joint or
  multinational force.
