Marine Expeditionary Brigade

A Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) is a large, flexible military force within the U.S. Marine Corps, designed for rapid deployment and diverse missions. It typically consists of around 14,000 to 17,000 personnel, including ground, aviation, and support units, and can operate independently or as part of a larger military operation. The MEB can be quickly mobilized to respond to crises, conduct humanitarian aid, or engage in combat, making it a versatile force capable of handling a wide range of scenarios across the globe.
