1. On 11 July 2017, the Commandant of the Marine Corps convened the FY18 Lieutenant 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. Two general officers and sixteen colonels screened the records of 560 lieutenant colonels and lieutenant colonels (sel) for assignment to 165 operating/supporting establishment commands. Billets considered will normally become available during the period of 1 Jun 18 to 31 May 19.<br> 2. The board selected 165 officers as primaries for command. To accommodate the assignment process and the availability of individual officers, 80 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> Name MOS Command<br> Anderlonis, Timothy D. 5803 3D LE BN<br> Annunziata, Christopher E. 1302 MWSS-271, MAG-14<br> Archibald, Joel R. 7566 HMHT-302, MAG 29<br> Baker, Jonathan T. 0402 2D TRANS SPT BN<br> Baker, Nathaniel A. 7543 MCAS KANEOHE BAY<br> Ban, Peter Y. 7315 VMU-3<br> Barborka, Adam N. 7557 VMR-1<br> Barnes, Sean W. 0302 3D RECON BN<br> Beal, John R. 7566 HT-18<br> Beasley II, Zeb B. 0302 3D BN, 6TH MAR<br> Beckmann, Eric M. 0402 MWSS-374, MAG-16<br> Benninghoff, Scott M. 0402 MWSS-372, MAG-39<br> Berry, Neil R. 0302 2D BN, 6TH MAR<br> Black, John W. 0302 I-I, 3D BN, 25TH MAR<br> Bortnem, Mark D. 7523 VMFA-232, MAG-11<br> Boyd, Kurt A. 0402 MWSS-373, MAG-11<br> Brady Jr, Timothy F. 7202 2D LAAD BN, MACG-28<br> Brenize, Keith C. 1803 3D ASLT AMPHIB BN<br> Bunn, Robert S. 7565 HMLA-267, MAG-39<br> Byrne, Patrick B. 0302 2D BN, 4TH MAR<br> Cassidy, Michael R. 7509 VMA-214, MAG-13<br> Cheek, David P. 0102 8TH BN, USMEPCOM<br> Cisco, John M. 0102 REGION 4 FT LAUDERDALE<br> Clarke, Alan J. 7565 H-HS, MCAS MIRAMAR<br> Clester, William G. 7202 MTACS-38, MACG-38<br> Conner, Christopher S. 0302 2D LAR BN<br> Costello, Timothy F. 7532 VMM-262, MAG-36<br> Curtis, Jeffrey S. 0802 1ST BN, 12TH MAR<br> Daigneault, Matthew T. 7565 H-HS, MCAS NEW RIVER<br> Dalton, Dennis B. 7525 VMFA (AW)-224, MAG-31<br> Davis, Brian R. 7509 VMA-542, MAG-14<br> Day, Evan A. 1302 7TH ENGR SPT BN<br> Day, Lance C. 0302 INF TNG BN, SOI, MCB CAMP PEN<br> Delmazo, Kenneth J. 0802 1ST BN, 11TH MAR<br> Doherty, Nathaniel P. 0202 2D RAD BN<br> Dollard, James P. 5803 2D LE BN<br> Donnelly, Brian C. 0802 MCSF KINGS BAY, GA<br> Dubow, Sharon L. 3002 I-I, CLB-23<br> Durant, Duane A. 0202 1ST RAD BN<br> Edwards, Shane A. 0802 HQ BN, MAGTF TRAINING CMD<br> Ewers, Dominic I. 6002 MALS-11, MAG-11<br> Featherstone, Ralph L. 7525 VMFA (AW)-225, MAG-11<br> Filos, Jason A. 1803 I-I, 4TH ASLT AMPHIB BN<br> Ford III, James C. 7532 VMM-166, MAG-16<br> Foster, Morina D. 0402 MARDET FT.
