Victory from the Sea: Expeditionary Strike Group 7


Expeditionary Strike Group 7, Task Force 76 is responsible for conducting expeditionary warfare operations to support a full range of theater contingencies, ranging from humanitarian and disaster relief operations, to full combat operations  in the 7th Fleet Area of Operations (AO).

 

What We Do

As the U.S. 7th Fleet’s primary Navy advisor on amphibious matters in the 7th Fleet area of operations we are responsible for conducting expeditionary warfare operations to support a full range of theater contingencies, ranging from humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations to full combat operations.

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. 

Our mission is immense, complex, challenging, and occasionally dangerous. The ultimate objective is to help maintain peace and stability in the region and protect our vital interests in the Pacific. In that venture, a flexible and powerful U.S. Navy amphibious force serves permanently forward deployed, ready to meet any challenge or tasking from our leaders.
