We opened the door and let Marines tell the story. Netflix’s MARINES shows LCpls, SNCOs, and junior officers in the fight, reminding the country that the ARG/MEU is our premier force offering, providing fast, flexible combat power from the sea. No DoW or USMC endorsement implied

Forward deployed Marines in operation SOUTHERN SPEAR & the Indo-Pacific show why restoring a 3.0 ARG/MEU matters. Read my Op-ed here:

.@USMC Happy 250th Birthday🫡

Before we formed a Nation, we formed a Corps of Marines. For 250 years @USMC has fought & won our country’s battles in every clime & place. Our legacy & warrior ethos have been forged in combat & passed down through generations. We are the few, the proud. Happy Birthday, Marines!

250 Years of Winning Our Nation's Battles For one quarter of a millennium, we have defended our country. From the birth of our nation during the American Revolution, to the end of the Global War on Terror, our role as a naval-based amphibious force has played a defining role in

@1stMEF @USNavy @US3rdFleet @VP, @SecWar, @SECNAV, @CMC_MarineCorps were all in attendance to watch the occasion and deliver remarks. We send a clear message to allies, partners, and adversaries alike: the United States maintains the world’s most lethal and adaptable maritime force — ready to respond

For 250 years, The United States Marine Corps has been America’s 9-1-1 force. From sea to shore, the Marines and Sailors of @1stMEF, supported by the @USNavy, @US3rdFleet, executed the largest amphibious operation in more than 30-years, demonstrating unmatched readiness,

Since Nov. 10, 1775, our Marines have been the ‘First to Fight’ From sea to shore, today’s Amphibious Capabilities Demonstration showcased @USMC power, precision and ability to win in any domain. When our nation dials 9-1-1, the Marines answer.

During this government shutdown, the mission of the @USNavy–@USMC team continues without pause though not without challenges and uncertainty. I am laser-focused on managing impacts, protecting critical operations, easing burdens, and championing your needs. We will keep support

Wednesday, I visited @WeAreHII shipyard to reinforce the importance of our under-construction LHAs & LPDs. I am in lockstep with @SECNAV on the vital importance of shipbuilding & reinvigorating our maritime industrial base—ensuring @USMC remains a forward, expeditionary force.

Wednesday, @USMCSgtMaj and I met with Marines and civilian Marines at MCTSSA. They play a critical role in researching, developing, engineering, testing, and evaluating emerging technologies across multiple domains—making our force more capable and ready for the future fight.

Yesterday, @USMCSgtMaj and I met with enlisted leaders attending resident PME at Camp Pendleton. PME is the foundation of the leadership we instill in our NCOs and SNCOs—to lead from the front, hold the standard, and set the example for others to emulate.

I was honored to join @SECNAV, Mr. Phelan, & Adm Kilby at the @NavalAcademy to witness LtGen Borgschulte assume his duties as Superintendent of the USNA. @USMC & I are deeply proud to see one of our own leading the institution that will shape future Navy & Marine Corps officers.

As part of the Marine Leaders of the Americas Conference, I joined allies & partners for a wreath-laying at Arlington National Cemetery and a Sunset Parade at the Marine Corps War Memorial—a special evening with Marine & Naval leaders honoring bonds of service & partnership.

Yesterday, I spoke at Marine Corps University’s convocation, addressing Marines, joint partners, allies, and interagency civilians. MCU continues to be our premier educational institution, developing thoughtful planners and decisive leaders-ensuring we prevail in the future fight

Last Thursday, I visited @MARFORSOUTH & @marforres to recognize Marines for their superior performance. MARFORSOUTH is advancing key relationships with allies & partners across @Southcom while MARFORRES augments our active duty through the readiness of our reservist Marines.

Last night, @USMC & I had the honor of hosting the 29th @SecDef, The Honorable Pete Hegseth, during our Friday Evening Parade at @MBWDC. Your leadership within the @DeptofDefense ensures that our Corps remains postured as the Nation’s crisis response force—ready to fight & win.

On Wednesday, I visited & recognized some outstanding Marines at @USMARCENT. It was great to see how Marines are implementing AI tools to support targeting & intel in real-world operations across @CENTCOM. Marines are working hard every day, worldwide, to support our Joint Force.

As Commandant, there is nothing I enjoy more than visiting Marines. Thank you to the Marines & Sailors of the @22nd_MEU for hosting me. You are clearly ready to deploy and represent our Nation as a credible crisis response force, & I look forward to seeing what you accomplish.
