Projecting Confidence & Readiness
Our prepositioning programs serve as a beacon of assurance to allies and a deterrent to potential adversaries. Blount Island Command proudly oversees:
Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadrons (MPSRON) 2 and 3
Our afloat squadrons, strategically positioned to swiftly respond to global demands.
Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway (MCPP-N)
A critical ashore program, MCPP-N includes ground equipment caves designed to reinforce Norway and facilitate crisis response. This program also supports limited sustainment for U.S. Marine Corps expeditionary operations under U.S. European Command and other geographic combatant commanders.
MCPP-N has proven its mettle by providing contingency support to U.S. Central Command during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Our prepositioning programs stand as a testament to the Marine Corps' commitment to global readiness and strategic agility.
