U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Russel A.C. Sanborn, the outgoing commander of Marine Forces Europe and Africa, receives the organizational colors from Sgt. Maj. Michael P. Woods, the sergeant major of MARFOREUR/AF, before relinquishing command to Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hermesmann, the incoming commander, during the change of command ceremony on the Devil Dog Field on Panzer Kaserne in Boeblingen, Germany, July 9, 2019. Sanborn, who commanded MARFOREUR/AF since July 2017, presided over several initiatives that grew the headquarters as a dynamic warfighting institution, to include increasing NATO capacity for allied amphibious operations; enhanced naval and amphibious integration into plans, operations and exercises; the expansion of the Marine Corps cold-weather and mountain-warfare rotational training presence in Norway's high north; and responsibility for U.S. forces participating in Exercise Trident Juncture 2018, the largest NATO military exercise since the end of the Cold War.
