The 5th Marine Amphibious Brigade (5th MAB) was a United States Marine Corps unit activated during periods of heightened military readiness. Initially formed during the Vietnam War era, the brigade was designed to provide a rapid-response amphibious force capable of deploying in crisis zones. Notably, the 5th MAB was reactivated during the late 1970s and played a key role in the planning for Operation Eagle Claw, the attempted rescue of American hostages in Iran in 1980. Although the mission was ultimately unsuccessful, the unit’s preparation and involvement underscored its strategic importance in U.S. military contingency operations.

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.
