    MARINE CORPS PACIFIC REBALANCE

    Marine Corps Pacific Rebalance

    Marine Corps Pacific Rebalance    

    The U.S. Marine Corps is adjusting its force lay-down in the Asia-Pacific region to support the President’s Strategic Guidance for the Department of Defense issued in January 2012. Marines are perfectly designed and suited for both crisis response and the Asia-Pacific maritime environment. Two-thirds of the Marine Corps’ operational forces are assigned to the Pacific. This allocation of resources is intuitive given the vast maritime and littoral nature of the theater. Having a versatile, experienced and ready-to-responde force like the Marine Corps in the region helps ensure the peace, stability and prosperity that benefit everyone.
