I’ve released my CPG, which outlines my vision for the future. FD continues as we adapt to the changing character of war. The CPG highlights a continuous 3.0 MEU presence, but most important is that it reaffirms our core values as the lynchpin of success.

@kaylahaas@92huskies Kayla, keep in mind that PACS-Q at DINFOS is entry-level. We’re supposed to get advanced education from our leaders in the Fleet, but our community isn’t great at that. Not bad, but not great. Also, Haditha was a huge deal at the time. Lots of internal reflection among Marines.
Pleased to announce @USNavyCNO and I signed an MOU last week to ensure consistency and uniformity in how each service talks about amphibious force readiness. This will help the @USNavy and @USMC better plan and execute naval ops. https://t.co/gC6H4Mz8PK
On the 80th anniversary of #DDay, we honor the courage of those who stormed the beaches and the paratroopers who descended behind enemy lines. Their sacrifice and bravery continue to inspire.

I once invited media to a @USMC b-day run from Pentagon to the War Memorial, met with laughs and “yeah rights” from Press. Except one. @iloewenson was like, “I’m new, can I come?” She showed up in purple among a sea of green on green. It was the start of a great relationship.
Today is my last day at Military Times. I have loved reporting on the Marine Corps for the past two years. To my editors, to my colleagues, to the many Marines who have let me tell their stories: I am deeply grateful.
Happening now: @CMC_MarineCorps and @USMCSgtMaj holding an “ask me anything” sit down with the @MSG_Duty Marines in Paris. Both are in France to commemorate the 106th anniversary of Belleau Wood and to hold meetings with diplomats and military counterparts.
Today, I had the pleasure of administering the oath to 258 new @USMC 2nd Lts at the @NavalAcademy. They answered the call & stand at the beginning of a path they won’t forget, leading the finest our Nation has to offer through an uncertain future. Welcome to our family, Marines.
At some point in the next year (maybe soon), there will be a new SecNav. I can't think of a better candidate than retired CMC David Berger, for about a thousand reasons.
The Marine Corps new Amphibious Combat Vehicle makes its debut in the Indo-Pacific during 🇵🇭🇺🇸 Balikatan 2024. Embarked on the amphib USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49), the ACVs conducted a live-fire exercise at Oyster Bay, Palawan.
