CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – The mid-autumn weather and a radiant North Carolina sun made the perfect conditions for a change of command ceremony aboard Camp Lejeune, Sept. 30.
Hundreds of Marines and sailors with 2nd Medical Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 25, 2nd Marine Logistics Group gathered en mass to witness the passing of the colors to the new commanding officer, Navy Capt. Cameron L. Waggoner, from Port Huron, Mich., at the ceremony.
During the event, Col. Christopher B. Edwards, the CLR-25 commanding officer shared his remarks with the Marines, sailors and family members present at the ceremony about the command.
“This is no regular command … this is a special battalion,” Edwards said. “They fix people, and they do it well.
“They keep the troops healthy and ready,” Edwards added.
The outgoing commander, Navy Capt. Efren S. Saenz, originally from El Paso, Texas, explained during his remarks how important the medical field is in the Navy and Marine Corps in order to keep the combat readiness of the troops.
He concluded his speech expressing his appreciation to all the members of the battalion who are currently with 2nd MLG (Forward) in Helmand province, Afghanistan, supporting International Security Assistance Force operations.
