In a Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force, which element is described as task-organized to meet specific logistics support and centered on the unit designated to provide most of logistics support?

• A. Brigade-level command
• B. Task-organized detachment of aircraft
• C. Platoon-sized element
• D. Task-organized to meet specific logistics support and centered on the unit designated to provide most of logistics support

Answer: (D)

In a Special Purpose MAGTF, logistics are built around a dedicated logistics element that is task-organized to fit the mission and centered on the unit designated to provide most of the logistics support. This means the group that will supply the bulk of logistics—supply, maintenance, transportation, and general support—is placed at the core, with other logistics assets attached as needed. This arrangement ensures clear leadership, efficient coordination, and focused support tailored to the mission. The other options don’t fit because a brigade-level command is too large for a SP-MAGTF, a detachment of aircraft is not the logistics element, and a platoon-sized unit is far too small to handle MAGTF-scale logistics.
