Force Headquarters Group, Military headquarters unit in New Orleans, United States

The Force Headquarters Group is a Marine Reserve command unit based in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Opelousas Avenue. It oversees and coordinates several Marine Reserve units operating across the surrounding region.

The unit was established in 2012 to bring six Marine Reserve units in the region under a single command. This new structure was meant to improve how those reserve forces worked together.

The group's name follows Marine Corps practice: it is a headquarters element at force level, activated on 18 July 2012. Its subordinate units carry designations such as 3rd and 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Companies, 3rd and 4th Civil Affairs Groups, 6th Communication Battalion and Intelligence Support Battalion, names a visitor may see on signage and unit markings.

The site sits on Opelousas Avenue and is an active military complex, so public access is not available without prior authorization. Anyone with a specific reason to visit should check entry requirements in advance, as security protocols apply throughout the facility.

The Group's activation on 18 July 2012 followed the Commandant-directed Force Structure Review Group, which realigned the six units to streamline command and control. General Steven Hummer tied the need for a force-level headquarters to the Mobilization Command's move from Kansas City to New Orleans. The Group is set to grow as further FSRG-directed activations occur, including the Marine Corps Individual Reserve Support Activity, responsible for 57,000 Individual Ready Reserve Marines.
