A Marine Expeditionary Unit is a Marine Air Ground Task Force constructed around a reinforced infantry ballation, a composite Marine aircraft squadron, and a MEU Service Support Group. The Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is a task-organized force, usually commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel, built 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 Brigade (MEB), or alone. Up until 2014 the MEU was the standard deployment force for Marines afloat however since that time MEUs have been superceeded by MEBs. Today most MEUs are found as detached forces from a MEB afloat.

- A Marine Expeditionary Unit or MEU is a Starfleet Marine Corps ground combat element.
- Marine Expeditionary Units are the second smallest Marine formation, being mounted onboard Atlas-class Troop Carriers, Cruiser-Carriers and Light Carriers.
- A Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU, pronounced Myuu), formerly called Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU), is the smallest Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) in the United States Fleet Marine Force. Each MEU is an expeditionary quick reaction force, deployed and ready for immediate response to any crisis.

- A Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU, pronounced Myuu), formerly called Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU), is the smallest Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) in the United States Fleet Marine Force. Each MEU is an expeditionary quick reaction force, deployed and ready for immediate response to any crisis. A Marine Expeditionary Unit is normally built around the building blocks of a MAGTF: a reinforced Marine infantry battalion is the ground combat element, the aviation combat element is a composite helicopter squadron, a battalion-sized logistics combat element, and a command element. Troop strength is about 2,200 and usually commanded by a colonel, and is deployed from an amphibious assault ship. Currently a Marine expeditionary unit embarks Marines and equipment onto the amphibious warfare ships of an Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) which also includes escort ships and submarines to protect them from air, surface, and submarine threats. For further protection and strong air support, such an ESG is often deployed along with one or more carrier battle groups.
