Welcome to the Official Website
of the
Marine Embassy Guard Association (MEGA)

At the Marine Embassy Guard Association (MEGA), we stand as a living testament to the unwavering dedication and commitment of the brave men and women who have proudly served as Embassy Guards since the inception of the Marine Security Guard (MSG) program in 1948. Our mission is clear: to strengthen the bonds that tie past and present MSGs together, fostering a community that embodies the values of honor, duty and camaraderie.

Who We Are

MEGA is more than an association; it's a bridge across time, connecting generations of MSGs who have safeguarded U.S. diplomatic missions around the world. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, sharing a common thread of service and a deep sense of duty to protect U.S. interests abroad. MEGA serves as a platform for MSGs to share experiences, forge new connections and uphold a legacy of excellence.

Our Improved Digital Presence

Through our newly designed website, MEGA offers an improved digital haven where past and present MSGs can come together to share stories, insights and wisdom gained from their service. We honor the sacrifices made and the challenges overcome, celebrating the triumphs and enduring friendships that have blossomed on the frontlines of diplomacy and the deep traditions of the United States Marine Corps.
