DARWIN, NORTHERN TERRITORY, Australia — When Marines and Sailors deploy to the Indo-Pacific as part of the Marine Rotational Force – Darwin (MRF-D) Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF), the mission isn’t just about combat readiness, deterrence, and multinational training. Sustaining that force — keeping more than 2,000 warfighters healthy, safe, and in the fight — depends on a medical capability that can operate anywhere, under any conditions, and alongside any partner. In 2025, MRF-D’s medical team is not only meeting that demand, but they are defining what forward-deployed Health Service Support (HSS) can achieve.
