Mine Countermeasures Squadron ONE (MCMRON ONE) provides a 24/7 deployable, expeditionary staff for tactical command and control of mine countermeasures triad forces in support of national tasking and operational requirements.
MCMRON ONE, along with her sister squadrons, MCMRON TWO and MCMRON THREE, is jointly responsible for mine countermeasures planning and operations worldwide. MCMRON ONE is charged primarily with responsibility for the Pacific region and routinely conducts deployments to Korea and Japan in support of national security objectives.

The Squadron conducts prompt and sustained combat and non-combat operations by coordinating the employment of surface mine countermeasures (MCM) ships and crews assigned to the Squadron. The MCM vessels must have the capability to deploy worldwide for multi-purpose missions; clear strategic U.S. or foreign ports and harbors of mine; conduct underwater surveys of U.S. and foreign coastlines; neutralize a variety of mine threats; and participate in Theater Security Cooperation efforts.
Mine Countermeasures Squadron THREE (MCMRON THREE) provides a 24/7 deployable, expeditionary staff for tactical command and control of mine countermeasures triad forces in support of national tasking and operational requirements.
