Time for new challenges

To some, it seems all roads eventually lead Marines back to Eastern North Carolina. The departing commander of the II Marine Expeditionary Force hopes that will be true in his case.


Lt. Gen.-select Martin R. “Marty” Berndt turns over command of the II MEF to Maj. Gen. Henry P. “Pete” Osman in a 10 a.m. ceremony today at Camp Lejeune’s W.P.T. Hill Field.


Berndt has been selected to command Marine Forces Atlantic in Norfolk, Va., a position that includes a promotion and a third star.
