	II Marine Expeditionary Force / U.S. Marine Corps Forces, South (MARFORSOUTH)
		The II Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF), one of three MEF's in the Marine Corps, is a combined arms force consisting of ground, air, and logistics forces possessing the capability of projecting offensive combat power ashore while sustaining itself in combat without external assistance for a period of 60 days.
		While II MEF is included within the operational force structure of U.S. Atlantic Command (USACOM) and engages in operations and exercises throughout the USACOM area, it routinely commits operating forces in support of other U.S. unified and NATO commands.
		II MEF is, in fact, available for and prepared to respond to contingency requirements worldwide.
