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 Force Headquarters Group integrates military personnel from different backgrounds while maintaining connections with New Orleans communities through outreach programs.
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.
Although the unit is based in New Orleans, the reserve personnel it oversees are spread across the country and only come together at set times for training. This means that most of the people serving under this command live and work far from Louisiana in their daily lives.
