Which of the following is NOT a MEU component designation?

• A. CE
• B. GCE
• C. ACE
• D. JCE

Answer: (D)

MEUs are built around three elements: Command Element, Ground Combat Element, and Aviation Combat Element. These three cover command and control, ground maneuver, and air power, respectively. The designation that is not used for a MEU component is Joint Command Element. A JCE would imply a joint-level coordination element outside the MEU’s internal MAGTF structure, not part of how a MEU designates its components. So Joint Command Element is not a MEU component designation.
