Aside from the Crisis Response Marines in Moron, a contingent of SP-MAGTF Crisis Response is currently forward-deployed to Sigonella, Italy, as part of normal alert posturing surrounding the 9/11 anniversary. SP-MAGTF Crisis Response is a self-mobile, self-sustaining force capable of responding to a range of crises to protect both U.S. and partner-nation security interests in the region, as well as strengthening partnerships throughout the U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility.
