The conference focused on key strategic and operational topics, including an overall theater intelligence update, anti-access/area denial (A2AD), posture initiatives, the MARFORPAC Campaign Plan, fires integration with the joint force, and updates on I and III Marine Expeditionary Forces. Leaders also discussed Marine Corps installation updates and resourcing strategies to enhance regional security and operational readiness.
The conference reinforced the Marine Corps’ dedication to sustaining a strong regional presence, improving interoperability with joint and allied forces, and bolstering overall security and stability in the Indo-Pacific. By refining operational concepts and ensuring Marine Corps units are synchronized in strategy, capabilities, and readiness, MARFORPAC ensures that Marine forces are prepared to respond rapidly to emerging threats while supporting U.S. and allied interests in the Indo-Pacific.
U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific is the largest operational command in the Marine Corps. It comprises two-thirds of the Marine Corps’ active-duty combat forces, collectively known as the “Pacific Marines.” Pacific Marines serve as an expeditionary force-in-readiness. They operate as air-ground-logistics teams and are forward positioned and actively employed throughout the Indo-Pacific every day. Pacific Marines live and work alongside the joint force and like-minded allies and partners to prevent conflict, respond to crisis, and if the Nation calls, to fight and win.
