The U.S. Marine Corps plays a crucial role in the space domain through its component command, Marine Corps Forces Space Command (MARFORSPACE), which was activated on October 1, 2020. MARFORSPACE supports the U.S. Space Command's mission by providing space operational support to the Fleet Marine Force, enhancing warfighter lethality through improved communications, targeting, and navigation. While the Marine Corps does not operate its own spacecraft, it relies on space-based assets for ISR, PNT, and satellite communications, and integrates with the Space Force to ensure access to critical all-domain operations, especially in the Indo-Pacific region. Associated keywords include: MARFORSPACE, USSPACECOM, space support, multi-domain operations, Fleet Marine Force.
