1st Marine Logistics Group

The 1st Marine Logistics Group (1st MLG) was activated on July 1, 1947, as the 1st Combat Service Group at Camp Pendleton, California. Throughout its history, the unit has provided critical logistical support to Marine forces in major conflicts, including the Korean War, Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Renamed several times, it became the 1st Marine Logistics Group in 2005, reflecting its expanded mission of providing comprehensive supply, maintenance, transportation, health services, and support to the I Marine Expeditionary Force. Today, the 1st MLG remains a vital component of U.S. Marine Corps operations, ensuring combat readiness and sustainment across the globe.
