A Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) is the largest Building Block currently used in the Marine Corps and consists of a Marine Division, a Marine Logistics Group and a Marine Aircraft Wing. It may consist of all or any part of all three elements. Smaller missions might require only a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) centered around and an Infantry Regiment and Marine Air Group. A Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) uses an Infantry Battalion and a Marine Air Squadron as the basic building blocks and typically it will be an Infantry Battalion with the support of an Artillery Battery.
