United States Marine Forces Central Command
- United States Marine Forces Central Command
Marine Forces Central Command (MARCENT) commands all United States Marine Corps forces assigned to United States Central Command. They do not have an actual combat units but do command units that are attached form other Marine Commands. In the CENTCOM region (see Unified Combatant Command), the I Marine Expeditionary Force and the III Marine Expeditionary Force are responsible for any Marine operations in the area. In fact, the shore establishments and any support group are directly attached to the U.S. Central Command, while the combat elements mentioned above are atached to the U.S. Pacific Command, and therefor to the Marine Forces Pacific.
The fact that the U.S. Pacific fleets are also responsible for the "Central" region shows that the Marine Forces Pacific, being closely linked to the United States Navy, should follow up and therfor fall under the sphere of operation of the "Central" region.
