Value to the Marine Corps

Asian Pacific American (APA) Marines are a critical enabler to the Marine Corps and a force multiplier in expeditionary operations. We understand and have a deep grasp of Language, Regional Expertise and Culture (LREC) for the Indo-Pacific area of operations and can build deep rapport, relationships, and bridges among allies.

“III MEF will become our main focus-of-effort, designed to provide U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (U.S. INDOPACOM) and the Commander, 7th Fleet with a fight-tonight, stand-in force capability to persist inside an adversary’s weapon systems threat range, create a mutually contested space, and facilitate the larger naval campaign. When modernized in a manner consistent with the vision above, III MEF will be a credible deterrent to adversary aggression in the Pacific.”
