Pretty much every MEU sails without a full-sized carrier in it, and the MEUs have seen a fair amount of deployment on their own since OIF began.

- vonmoltke 12y agoMEUs never have a carrier attached, as carriers only sail in CVBGs. However, there has been at least one CVBG in-theater constantly since OIF began, and I doubt the Navy would ever send an MEU into a theater that did not have a CVBG present.
