Hello Everyone;

After talking to James, and a few of my marine buddies and based on the overall mission and size of the Marine contingent on the ship, I have decided to restructure the unit into a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) instead of calling it a Marine Air Ground Taskforce (MAGTF) which would be larger in scope.

I’ll have the unit break outs here soon but here is a basic summary of what’s currently onboard, Please note that some of this is subject to change as I work with the captain and the greater community to flush things out.

This is the breakdown of the (ACE) unit (Air Combat Element)

• 72 primary pilots (1 per craft)
• 12 reserve pilots (2 per squadron)
• Total Pilots: 84
