What We Do

Expeditionary Strike Group 7/ Task Force 76 is the primary Navy advisor to U.S. 7th Fleet on amphibious matters and is responsible for conducting expeditionary warfare operation with Navy and Marine Corps capabilities to support theater contingencies that range from crisis response to full combat operations.

 

Our team conducts multiple operations, activities and investments throughout the calendar year, almost entirely with allies and partners to build on the U.S. Navy’s capabilities through multinational coalitions and achieve a shared goal of a safe and secure Indo-Pacific.

 

Our assets operate from the sea to deter aggression by their presence and remain ready to support rapid mobilization in the event of crisis, conflict, or natural disaster. These assets bring unique capabilities to the fight and are the key enabler for the Marines' expeditionary operations ashore that can quickly and decisively neutralize any adversary.
