Marine Air-Ground Task Force 7....what is its composition, what is its job?

U.S. Marine Corps Col. David J. Hart, the commanding officer of Marine Air-Ground Task Force 7 (MAGFT-7) “Ripper”, boards the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD2) in the Pacific Ocean, June 17, 2022. MAGFT-7 is integrated with the U.S. Navy to strengthen international maritime partnership, enhance interoperability and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific. 

So its not a MEU, definitely not a MEB or MEF. It's also not SPMAGTF. So what is it? Is it new? What is it's composition? I'm assuming its job is sea denial so composition will be interesting.
