Last week, I handed over the colors and completed my tenure as the 83rd Commander of the 3d US Infantry Regiment @USArmyOldGuard. It was also my last assignment in the Army. Excited for the next steps and what lies ahead.

#TBT Ever wonder how a changing of the guard inspection is conducted? #TheMoreYouKnow @USArmy @MDW_USARMY

Thanks for the visit, 75th Ranger Regiment! Today, Soldiers from the 75th Ranger Regiment toured the tomb quarters at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in @ArlingtonNatl, and the @USArmy Caisson stables on Fort Myer. @MDW_USARMY

We are excited to host our first Expert Field Medical Badge testing alongside ESB and EIB. Couldn’t do this without the teamwork for Fort Meade’s MEDDAC. Good luck to all the candidates.

Happy 290th Birthday to Gen. George Washington, the 1st President of the United States. In honor of Washington's birthday, TOG provided ceremonial support for a wreath-laying ceremony @MountVernon. (@USArmy photos by Sgt. Charlotte Carulli and Spc. Laura Stephens)

🧁 Cupcake Cupcake Cupcake 🧁 TOG Culinary Specialists embraced their competitive spirits and held a #cupcake bake off- SGT Karen Compton and SPC Juan Rodriguez for team 1, and PFC Stetson Martin and SSG Guadalupe Woods for team 2. #Congrats to team 2 for the win!! @USArmy

When ceremonies are our primary mission, the margin for error is very small. However, among us there are those that perform the best under extreme pressure. #Congratulations to all the winners in TOG's #CeremonialOlympics! @USArmy @MDW_USARMY

Today kicks of the start of The Old Guards #CeremonialOlympics, a week long competition to build esprit de corps and to identify which element can call themselves the best in TOG. #StayTunned (@USArmy photos by Cpl. Gabriel Bacchus) @MDW_USARMY

Standby... Fire! TOG's Presidential Salute Battery and @USMC from the Artillery Instructor Battery @TheBasicSchool, participated in a joint-fire training exercise where both branches observed the ways they each perform ceremonial fires.🎇 @USArmy @MDW_USARMY @JBMHH

Every morning at @USArmyOldGuard, rain or shine.

TOG is honored to have provided ceremonial support for WWII veteran and two-time Purple Heart recipient, former Sen. Bob Dole. Thank you for your acts of courage and service to our Nation. @USArmy @MDW_USARMY @10MTNDIV @ArlingtonNatl @SecArmy @thejointstaff

"Unwavering in the pursuit of perfection, I will always move forward, improving the standards of those who came before me."- First stanza of the @USArmy Drill Team Creed @MDW_USARMY

For this first time in over a decade, the 3d US Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) conducted a Department of the Army Retirement Ceremony led entirely by non-commissioned officers. Expect nothing less from the finest NCO Corps in the world.

In these photos, yesterday’s funeral procession for General Montgomery C. Meigs travels down Meigs drive in @ArlingtonNatl.

TOG provided funeral honors @ArlingtonNatl for Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, the former commander of @USArmy Europe. Meigs was named after his ancestor, Quartermaster Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, the lead architect of ANC, bringing a 160 year-long connection back to where it began.

This is why we seek opportunities for the public to engage these Sentinels off the plaza. Talk to them, here their stories, and connect with them. They are the best advocates we have for the quality of this profession. You will be proud of they present your Army and US Military

It’s our goal that experiencing the training, discipline, precision, and conducts of the Sentinels at the Tomb enhances public trust in this profession. (3/X)

What is it we want them to take away from that experience? A large part of it is recognizing how we honor and remember those who not only lost their lives, but lost their identity. An equal part is how these these Soldiers represent the entire U.S. military. (2/X)
