U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific

The mission of the G-3/5/7 Division is to advise and assist the Commander in matters pertaining to organization, training, readiness, planning, and operational employment of MARFORPAC forces.  Additionally, the G-3/5/7 Division serves as the core of MARFORPAC's Contingency Augmentation Cell for MARFORK, USPACOM's Foreign Humanitarian Assistance coordinator, and the deployable Joint Task Force in the bilateral defense of the Philippines.  In both component and service functions, the G-3/5/7 is structured and chartered to serve as the Commander's principal staff agency for the development and articulation of a wide spectrum of concepts, plans and policies; and to direct and supervise execution and/or implementation of those policies.  The AC/S G-3/5/7 is the Program Manager for five discrete programs: Tactical Combat Support for the Marine Aircraft Wing; Division; Other Combat Support; Marine Expeditionary Unit Capability; and Unit Deployment Capability.  The AC/S G-3/5/7 serves as the MARFORPAC advocate for these programs during POM development and during budget execution.
