Issued: August 1, 2018
1. On 10 July 2018, the Commandant of the Marine Corps convened the FY19 Colonel Command Screening Board. The purpose of command screening is to ensure that Marines receive the best possible leadership and to provide all eligible officers with a fair and equitable opportunity to command. Nine general officers screened the records of 152 colonels and colonels (sel) for assignment to 64 operating/supporting establishment commands. Billets considered will normally become available during the period of 1 June 2019 to 31 May 2020.<br> 2. The board selected 64 officers as primaries for command. To accommodate the assignment process and the availability of individual officers, 32 officers were selected as alternates and found eligible for command by the board. The alternate list provides an adequate number of officers to meet the command requirements should an officer decline command or otherwise be unable to take command.<br> 3. The quality of the Marines considered reaffirms that the Corps continues to produce and promote leaders of the highest caliber. The relatively small number of command billets available and the large number of eligible officers combine to make command selection an exceptionally competitive process.<br> 4. The Commandant of the Marine Corps has approved the following:<br> 4.a. 8040 Group<br> Name Command<br> BROWN, NGAIO I. HQ REG, 1ST MLG<br> GAINES, TRAVIS T. CLR-3<br> HARRIS, TIFFANY N.
