For a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB), the LCE is

• A. Logistics Combat Regiment
• B. Marine Logistics Group
• C. Regimental Landing Team
• D. Composite Marine Aircraft Group

Answer: (A)

The Logistics Combat Element is the sustainer for the MAGTF, providing the reach-back and on-hand logistics to keep the force operating. For a Marine Expeditionary Brigade, that LCE is organized as a Combat Logistics Regiment. It brings together the logistics battalions and support elements needed for supply, maintenance, transportation, engineering, health services, and general services, all coordinated to support the Ground Combat Element and the Aviation Combat Element during operations.

A Marine Logistics Group, by contrast, operates at a larger scale for a Marine Expeditionary Force, not a MEU or MEB. The Regimental Landing Team is the Ground Combat Element, and the Composite Marine Aircraft Group belongs to the Aviation Combat Element.
