U.S. Marine Corps Sgt.Maj. Kenneth S. Williamson relinquishes his post as the Battalion Sergeant Major for 1st Recruit Training Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., to Sgt.Maj. Al’Kedra M. Tyler, in a relief and appointment ceremony held on the Depot, May 19, 2023. Since 1875 Non-Commissioned and Staff Non-Commissioned Officers have carried the Non-Commissioned Officer sword as a symbol of their ability and prestige as enlisted leaders of the Marine Corps. The sergeant major as the senior enlisted leader and advisor is the keeper of traditions for his/her unit. The emblematic passing of the sword of office signifies the transfer of this sacred trust from one sergeant major to another. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Dakota Dodd)
