Gen. Robert Neller took over as the 37th Commandant of the Marine Corps on Thursday during a ceremony in Washington, D.C., receiving command from incoming Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford. Neller is a 40-year Marine Corps veteran and previously served as commander of US Marine Corps Forces Command and Marine Forces Europe. “I am honored, proud, and humbled to be here,” Neller said at the ceremony, according to a release. “I appreciate your support, now let’s go do this.” Dunford is set to take over as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs during a Sept. 25 ceremony at Fort Myer, Va. He served as commandant for about 14 months before he was nominated in July to take over for retiring Army Gen. Martin Dempsey.
The Space Force is planning improvements at its launch ranges to better accommodate the logistics and infrastructure demands that come with the launch industry’s shift toward reusable rockets, according to the commanders of the service’s two launch deltas.
