U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Elena M. Rodriguez, the first official sergeant major of the 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade (2d MEB), listens to remarks from Brig. Gen. Samuel L. Meyer, the commanding general of 2d MEB, after an appointment ceremony aboard the Blue Ridge-class command and control ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) in Gaeta, Italy, Aug. 28, 2024. This historic appointment not only highlights Rodriguez's distinguished career and leadership, but also underscores the critical role of the 2d MEB as Task Force 61/2 (TF 61/2) in supporting U.S. interests in the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) area of responsibility.
