Presentation Notes
The intent of this slide is to show the utility of the MAGTF across the ROMO…from Crisis Response and Limited Contingency Operations to Major Operations and Campaigns. This slide gives a sense of the capability that each MAGTF can provide. At the lower end of the range of military operations is the SPMAGTF and SCMAGTF. The MEU constitutes a crisis response capability and is organized and trained to respond to humanitarian crises, non-combatant evacuations, and other crises within its capabilities. Although capable of conducting security cooperation activities, the MEU is principally tailored to constitute the theater reserve for a combatant commander. Recent MEU deployments have also seen the MAGTF supporting sustained combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The MEB is the first level of MAGTF where joint forcible entry operations become realized; with more robust capabilities. MEBs can also support sustained combat operations on the lower end of the ROMO, such as COIN or act as a MEF (Fwd) to provide the first echelon of a MEF before that MAGTF arrives in theater. The MEF constitutes the Marine Corps big war-fighting punch. The MEF provides a robust joint forcible entry capability with two MEBs in the amphibious assault echelon and an additional MEB in the assault follow-on echelon. The MEF, as evidenced by Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, is capable of sustained combat operations. An important distinction to draw from these MAGTFs is that they are multicapable and able to conduct many different types of operations across the ROMO. OSD tends to bin Marine MAGTFs as general purpose forces (GPF), but the reality is that our MAGTFs are multicapable– flexible, adaptable, and agile, Marine MAGTFs provide a myriad of capabilities to meet the requirements of the combatant commander.

USMC EOD Doctrinal Mission
• Mission: To support the Marine Air Ground Task Force, Supporting Establishment, Homeland Defense, and Special Operations Forces, by locating, accessing, identifying, rendering safe, neutralizing, and disposing of hazards from foreign and domestic, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN), Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO), Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that present a threat to operations, installations, personnel, or materiel. (MCO 3571.2G dtd 30 Aug 2010)

Vision
• Marine EOD must be postured to fully support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Homeland Defense missions while operating in high threat environments under the most physically and mentally challenging conditions.
• The future employment of Marine EOD is more likely in low-end conflict and irregular warfare environments, but the EOD community cannot lose sight of its roles, or its ability to enable operations at the high end of the Range of Military Operations (ROMO).
• Marine Corps EOD will maintain a solid foundation of core competencies across all levels of operations through advanced training and education to facilitate rapid response to evolving threats.
• The Marine Corps will continue to ensure that EOD forces are appropriately manned, trained and equipped to operate effectively in all environments, while leveraging a robust, responsive, and agile R&D process that outpaces emerging threats.
