11th CAG

The 11th Civil Affairs Group (11th CAG) is a United States Marine Corps Reserve unit specializing in civil-military operations. Activated in 1955 and based out of Southern California, the 11th CAG played crucial roles in supporting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, particularly during exercises and operations in the Pacific and Latin America. The unit contributed significantly during the Gulf War and in subsequent operations, working closely with local populations and allied forces to facilitate stability and reconstruction. Its legacy continues as part of the Marine Corps’ broader mission to bridge military objectives with civilian needs in complex operational environments.
