SAN DIEGO – The Navy Recruiting Reserve Command (NRRC), Reserve Talent Acquisition Group Southwest (RTAG SW), held an Assumption of Command ceremony at the Naval Base San Diego Chapel on April 4, 2025. Cmdr. Benjamin A. Sacramento Jr., a native of San Francisco, California, assumed command as the inaugural commanding officer of RTAG Southwest. He accepted command from Capt.

The goal of this initiative is to assure mission success and provide an opportunity for Sailors to thrive in both military and civilian life.
