U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Valerie A. Jackson, commanding general of 4th Marine Logistics Group, receives the colors during the 4th MLG assumption of command ceremony at Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, LA, June 9, 2023. As the new commanding general for 4th MLG, Jackson said “Marines haven’t changed. People still expect discipline, competence, excellence, and we deliver.” An assumption of command ceremony is a Marine Corps tradition that affords troops the opportunity to witness a new leader assuming all responsibilities of their dutiful position.
