A Marine expeditionary brigade (MEB) is a formation of the United States Marine Corps , a Marine air-ground task force of approximately 14,500 Marines and sailors constructed around a reinforced infantry regiment , a composite Marine aircraft group , a combat logistics regiment and a MEB command group . The MEB, commanded by a general officer (usually a brigadier general ), is task-organized to meet the requirements of a specific situation. It can function as part of a joint task force , as the lead echelon of the Marine expeditionary force (MEF), or alone. It varies in size and composition, and is larger than a Marine expeditionary unit (MEU) but smaller than a MEF. The MEB is capable of conducting missions across the full range of military operations.
