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.

The Army Reserve Command (ARC) consists of three components- Force Reserves, Territorial Forces, and Individual Augment Reserves.

Force Reserves consist of partially-manned formations augmented by reservist soldiers that can be activated and staffed as required within 72 hours of activation. Forces Reserves currently consists of 2 infantry divisions.

Territorial Forces are generally light infantry-equipped forces that are jointly organized and equipped by the Army and the territories in which they are raised by. Territorial Forces may be called to active duty, however they are generally not deployed abroad except for unique circumstances, and are primarily activated for assistance with civil emergencies, humanitarian aid, and law enforcement assistance. Territorial Forces are maintained in the territory of origin but are organized into units based on geographic regional groupings.

Individual Augment Reserves consists of unorganized individuals held in the reserve who are able to rapidly be called to active service as needed. These individuals will drill with a local formation at least once a month.
