Headquartered in the Japanese port of Yokosuka, the headquarters also includes Japan's Sasebo base, Okinawa, South Korea's Busan, Pohang, Zhenhai bases and Singapore, and also often docks in Hong Kong for supplies.

Generally, the aircraft carrier battle group composed of the CVN-73 aircraft carrier USS George Washington is the main combat force, supplemented by land-based aviation and amphibious forces.

If necessary, ships can be drawn from the Third Fleet or other forces to replenish it.

At present, it has jurisdiction over one flagship (the Blue Ridge amphibious landing command ship), one nuclear-powered aircraft carrier (the USS George Washington), three to four guided cruisers, 18 to 20 missile destroyers and frigates, five to six attack submarines, five to eight landing ships, 18 logistics support ships, and a number of hovercraft and auxiliary vessels.
