Odom, the guest of honor, are introduced during a cake-cutting ceremony celebrating the 249th Marine Corps Birthday at Naval Support Activity, Naples, Italy, Nov. 7, 2024. During the ceremony, a slice of cake cut with the Mameluke sword is given to the oldest Marine present, then passed to the youngest Marine present, signifying the passing of tradition from one generation to another generation. Task Force 61/2's synchronized command and control of assigned forces and seamless integration with U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, U.S. Sixth Fleet and U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa directly supports regional readiness, crisis response, and deterrence in the U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command area of operations.
