Which of the following is listed as a part of the MEF division's composition?

• A. Headquarters Battalion
• B. Air Traffic Control Squadron
• C. Helicopter Wing
• D. Logistics Regiment

Answer: (A)

Understanding how a MEF division is organized helps explain why that element appears in the division.

A Headquarters Battalion serves as the division’s headquarters and service support unit, handling command, control, staff functions, communications, admin, supply, and other enabling tasks for the division. This makes it a standard, integral part of the division’s composition.

Air Traffic Control Squadron and Helicopter Wing belong to aviation structures (Marine Aircraft Group/Wing), not the ground combat division. They support aviation operations rather than form part of the division’s ground element. The Logistics Regiment is typically part of the Marine Logistics Group, providing broader combat service support to the MEF, not the division itself.
