The 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force (2nd MEF) is a large, highly trained group of U.S. Marine Corps Marines and Navy sailors.

Based mainly in the eastern United States, 2nd MEF can deploy anywhere in the world to provide combat support, security, and humanitarian aid. They operate as a self-sufficient unit, capable of conducting complex military operations, including landing on beaches, fighting in urban areas, or supporting allies. Their goal is to ensure U.S. military readiness and national security across diverse scenarios.
