CAMP HANSEN, Okinawa, Japan – From the birth of the United States Navy on October 13, 1775, and the birth of the U.S. Marine Corps on November 10, 1775, command and control (C2) has been the foundation of power. Marines with III Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group (MIG) continue this heritage by enabling III MEF to fight and win in the Indo-Pacific.
