I like History and Military topics.

Although the least powerful of the MEFs, it can simultaneously put this force ashore in just its first assault wave:

830 Marines (1 battalion) deep inland via 2 squadrons of CH-46 helicopters

1625 Marines (2 battalions) over the beach in 65 AAVs

18 LAV-25s, 4 KLR650 motorcycles, and 2 M-1 Abrams tanks (1 armored recon. company) on 7 LCAC-1s

24 M777 155mm howitzers (1 marine artillery battalion) via 3 squadrons of CH-53 helicopters

with the support of:

12 F/A-18 Hornets (1 squadron)

4 AV-8B Harrier II jump jets

4 AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters

2 UH-1N helicopters
