Marine Rotational Force - Darwin

Approximately 1,150 Marines deployed to Darwin, Australia 2014 as the third rotation of Marine Rotational Force – Darwin (MRF-D), remaining for approximately six months. MRF-D engaged in a range of training activities and community relations events with the Australian Defense Force throughout the deployment. The rotational deployment of U.S. Marines affords an excellent combined training opportunity with our Australian allies, and improves interoperability between our forces.
