Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command

 

The Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTFTC) is where Marine Corps readiness begins. It encompasses seven subordinate elements, including the Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One in Yuma, Arizona; the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California; the Expeditionary Warfare Training Groups in the Pacific and Atlantic; as well as multiple commands at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California. MAGTFTC serves as the foundation for developing the next generation of warfighters. These units collectively provide a wide range of advanced training environments that shape Marines into confident, capable, and effective leaders.

At the core of this mission is the Service Level Training Exercise Program (SLTE-P), the Marine Corps’ premier large-scale, multi-domain combined arms training initiative. SLTE brings together forces across the Fleet Marine Force to conduct full-spectrum operations in complex, realistic environments. Guided by experienced planners, instructors, and evaluators, these exercises sharpen tactical decision-making, strengthen unit cohesion, and prepare Marines to operate across every domain.

We don't just train Marines; we prepare them for combat. This commitment is further reinforced through the integration of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training. By combining real-world maneuvers with simulated elements, MAGTFTC replicates the challenges of future battlefields, enabling Marines to think quickly, act decisively, and operate as a cohesive, combat-ready force.

Whether preparing for current missions or future challenges, MAGTFTC ensures every Marine is ready to lead, adapt, and win—anytime, anywhere.
