The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade held a change of command ceremony Feb. 6 at Camp Courtney, marking the transition from Brig. Gen. Robert B. “BAMS” Brodie to Brig. Gen. Ryan M. Hoyle. During Brodie’s tenure, the brigade supported major exercises such as Resolute Dragon, planned for Iron Fist 26, and executed a short-notice disaster relief deployment to the Philippines. Hoyle assumes command bringing extensive operational and multinational experience, as 3rd MEB continues its role as a forward-deployed, rapidly deployable force supporting III MEF operations across the Indo-Pacific.
