Which statement correctly identifies what is included in the MEF Headquarters Group (MHG)?

• A. HQ BN, Radio BN, Comm BN, ANGLICO, Law Enforcement BN are not part of the MHG.
• B. HQ BN, Radio BN, Comm BN, ANGLICO, Law Enforcement BN are included in the MHG.
• C. MHG only handles aviation units.
• D. MHG is responsible for medical logistics across MEF.

Answer: (C)

The MEF Headquarters Group is the command-support backbone for the MEF, bringing together units that directly enable the MEF’s headquarters to plan, command, and coordinate operations. It includes the Headquarters Battalion, Radio Battalion, Communications Battalion, ANGLICO, and the Law Enforcement Battalion. These elements provide staff organization, communications, fire support liaison, and security for the MEF HQ. The group is not limited to aviation; aviation units belong to the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) and operate under the MAGTF’s ACE, not within the MHG. Medical logistics, likewise, falls under the Logistics Combat Element rather than the MHG. So, describing the MHG as handling only aviation units is not accurate—the MHG comprises those HQ-support units that keep the MEF HQ functioning.
