 The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade has reactivated here during a ceremony establishing as a permanent command element which will strengthen the ability to prepare for and take action in numerous contingency operations that may occur in the Asia Pacific region. 2012 coming up here is going to be a very busy year. Whether it's going to be humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, or it could be a type of crisis within the theater. But I can guarantee you that Paycom, Mar 4 Pack, when the crisis flag goes up one way or the other they're going to turn to 3MEPH and it's going to be 3MEPH that's going to be out the door. As the needs of the Marine Corps have changed over the years the 3rd MEPH has been activated and deactivated several times since World War I. Lance Corporal Matthias Hernandez, Camp Courtney, Logan Allen.
