22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit

910-451-0400

The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) began in 1982 as the 22nd Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU) which had taken over for the 32nd MAU. The 22nd deployed to Beirut in 1983 and, on its journey home to the U.S., was sent to help in the invasion of Grenada. Not even one month later the unit was back in Beirut helping to evacuate the American citizens there until early 1984. In 1988, the MAU changed its name to the MEU to more accurately describe its current role in the Marines. The 22nd again provided evacuation relief in Liberia during the country’s civil war in 1990. Throughout the 1990s, the MEU served in Operations Desert Shield and Storm, again in Liberia and other African countries, and the Balkans. The later 1990s saw action in Bosnia and Kosovo, and the Balkans yet again in support of Y2K. During the early 2000s, the unit spent time in the Middle East participating in one of the most successful anti-Taliban efforts in the Oruzgan Province of Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. The second half of 2000 was spent counteracting insurgents in Iraq, then more humanitarian efforts in the Bay of Bengal from 2007-08. In 2009, the MEU was the first to use the MV-22B Osprey during a deployment in Europe. They were also the first Marine unit on the scene after the devastating earthquake in Haiti in January 2010. The 22nd is the most decorated of all 7 Marine Expeditionary Units.
