Standard Operating Procedure

The 1st Marine Division is the "tip of the spear."

The Standard Operating Procedure revolves around being the first-in, most ready, capable of conducting amphibious assaults, sustained ground operations, and rapid deployment for global contingencies. 

Mission priorities include:

Seize and Defend Key Objectives

Destroy Enemy Forces

Conduct Amphibious Operations

Support MAGTF as the Ground Combat Element

Command Structure

Division Commander

( Major General )

Deputy Division Commander

( Brigadier General )

Chief of Staff

( Colonel )

Each Regiment and Battalion serving underneath mirrors this setup with the exemption of the Chief of Staff, and the addition of Regimental Staff Sections.
