The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Marine Service Support Group (15th MEU MSSG) served as the logistics combat element of the 15th MEU, providing vital supply, maintenance, transportation, medical, and engineering support. Activated in the 1980s, the MSSG accompanied the MEU on numerous deployments, including operations in the Persian Gulf, Somalia, East Timor, and Afghanistan. The group played a key role in humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and combat operations, ensuring the MEU’s sustained operations ashore and afloat. In the mid-2000s, the MSSG was reorganized and redesignated as the Combat Logistics Battalion 15 (CLB-15) to better align with evolving Marine Corps logistics doctrine.
