 Marine Rotational Force Darwin is a six-month rotation of U.S. Marines to Australia during the Northern Territory dry season. The rotational Marine Air Ground Task Force deployment in Darwin enables U.S. Marines and the Australian Defense Force to more effectively train, exercise and operate together in the Indo-Pacific region. MRF-D is designed to enhance regional security, strengthen our alliances and partnerships, and increase our ability to rapidly respond to crisis throughout the region. Comprised of command, ground combat, aviation combat and logistics combat elements, this rotational MAGTAP is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to the Australia-U.S. Alliance and affords U.S. Marines and Sailors an opportunity to train at world-class facilities all across Australia. As four deployed naval forces, our Marines and Sailors are partnered, postured, professional and dedicated to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region. We are MRF-D.
