6th Mab

The 6th Marine Amphibious Brigade (6th MAB) was a task-organized unit of the United States Marine Corps, formed to provide rapid, flexible amphibious capabilities for contingency operations. Activated during times of crisis, such as the Lebanon intervention in 1982-1984, the 6th MAB comprised infantry, aviation, and support elements, enabling it to conduct a wide range of missions from peacekeeping to combat operations. The brigade played a key role in the multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, demonstrating the Marines’ expeditionary and amphibious warfare expertise. After completing its missions, the 6th MAB was typically deactivated, with its components reassigned to other Marine Corps units.
