DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY Headquarters United States Marine Corps Washington, DC 20380-1775 10 December 2004 FOREWORD The success of any operation depends on proper embarkation planning and execution, whether movement is by land, sea or air. For units to rapidly deploy, commanders must ensure their units maintain the highest degree of embarkation readiness at all times. Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 4-11.3G, Unit Embarkation Handbook, addresses the doctrine, techniques, and procedures for effectively managing a unit embarkation program and planning and executing embarkation operations. In the case of amphibious embarkation operations, a Marine expeditionary unit (MEU) is used as an example throughout. The target audience for MCRP 4-11.3G is the noncommissioned officer (NCO) through cap- tain in the embarkation military occupational specialty (MOS) and other NCOs/officers assigned unit embarkation responsibilities. MCRP 4-11.3G’s guidance and relevant information provides commanders and their staffs an appreciation of the internal workings of a unit embarkation section and the critical role it plays in a successful unit deployment. MCRP 4-11.3G serves to provide uniformity across the Marine Corps for integration into standing operating procedures (SOPs). Reviewed and approved this date.
