Structure

Headquarters, Marine Commando (HQ MN CDO)

Headquarters, Marine Commando (HQ MN CDO) is the command arm of the RMC and manages its oversight, organization, and operations. It is responsible for maintaining the operational capabilities for use by Joint Forces Command, and acts as an umbrella organization under which a number of other Marine agencies operate. The seniormost Marine officer is the Marine Regimental Commander, a 3-star officer, who does not exercise operational authority but maintains administrative oversight over all RMC activities and reports to the Chief of Naval Staff. The Marine Regimental Commander is a member of the Chiefs of Defense Staff, a board consisting of the seniormost officers from all branches of the [[Meridon Defense Forces].

Headquarters, Marine Commando

HQ MN CDO Staff consists of the Marine Regimental Commander (MRC), Marine Deputy Regimental Commander (MDRC), and Marine Regimental Sergeant Major (MRSM). The following individuals report directly to the MRC:

Fleet Marine Force (FLEMARFOR)

Fleet Marine Force (FMF or FLEMARFOR) provides for all active-duty and activated reserve Marine component formations. Fleet Marine Force provides combat-ready units to combatant commanders for operations.

While Marine Commando formations are typically organized around the Commando Task Unit and the battalion-sized formation of infantry at its nucleus, Marine organization is designed to be scalable up to the divisional level. FLEMARFOR administers two regiments of infantry in active duty, consisting of 3 infantry battalions each; two aviation groups; as well as one regiment each of amphibians, armored reconnaissance, artillery, engineers, and combat support. Generally, units from these forces are assigned to individual Commando Task Units. All operational units are subordinated under 1 Division Marine Amphibious.

Direct Reporting Groups

While all Marine infantry battalions are both administratively and operationally subordinated to either 1 or 2 Regiment Marine Amphibious, all supporting formations are administered by Direct Reporting Groups that serve primarily as a unit to enable standardization and administrative control, but are capable of acting as a command organ in the event the RMC is activated as a division-sized formation. During all other times, Direct Reporting Groups act as administrative formations housing all similar groups of supporting assets, as such. DRGs also administrate reserve formations for operational employment.
