Marine Amphibious Unit

A Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU) is a military force that combines land and sea capabilities, allowing Marines to operate effectively in diverse environments. This unit is typically composed of various elements, including infantry, air support, and logistics, enabling it to conduct operations ranging from combat to humanitarian assistance. MAUs are designed to quickly deploy from ships to shore, making them versatile in responding to crises or conflicts. Their training emphasizes readiness for both maritime and ground missions, reflecting the U.S. Marine Corps' role as an agile and adaptable force in modern warfare.
