As the Nation's force in readiness, the Marine Corps provides great versatility and flexibility to deal with situations across the spectrum of warfare. Fighting as an integrated multi-domain team, the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) is a task-organized force comprised of four elements: the command element (CE), the ground combat element (GCE), the aviation combat element (ACE), and the logistics combat element (LCE). The MAGTF's ability to project power is enhanced by the ACE's ability to deploy and operate across the battlespace. Potential operating sites range from urban areas containing established aviation facilities to areas with the crudest and most austere facilities. The MAGTF requires responsive aviation support for all types of operational areas. AVIATION SUPPORT TO THE MARINE AIR-GROUND TASK FORCE Marine aviation provides the MAGTF commander with a unique force.
