Developing the Best Methods of Internal Contracting Support for Deployed Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU)

Abstract

The Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is the Marine Corps' forward deployed force in readiness and as such advertises that it is self-sustaining for 15 days. The MEU Commander has latitude as to what personnel and assets he wants to deploy with. Because of this, each of the MEUs is different. This is especially the case involving internal contracting support. This research explores the differences in contracting support commonly provided to the MEUs and the external support available to the MEUs in their Areas of Responsibility (AOR). Based on this research, the author provides conclusions and recommendations that will optimize the internal support to the MEUs while deployed.
