1. The Fiscal Year 2024 Lieutenant Colonel Command Screening board convened on 11 July 2023. Two general officers and 19 colonels screened the records of 617 lieutenant colonels and lieutenant colonels (sel) for assignment to 148 commands.<br> 2. Command screening ensures that Marines receive the best possible leadership while providing all eligible officers with a fair and equitable opportunity to compete for command. This board was tasked with prioritizing commands which have direct contact with the initial training of Marines. Initial training is vital to the future of the Corps and this screening board has appropriately placed some of our very best leaders in these key billets. The small number of command billets available relative to the number of eligible officers makes command selection an exceptionally competitive process.<br> 3.
