Major General King Assumes Command of Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa
Marines, sailors and civilians from US Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa (MARFOREUR/AF) took part in a socially distanced change of command ceremony today to mark the appointment of MARFOREUR/AF’s new commander, Major General Tracy W. King.
Maj. Gen. King received the headquarters’ organizational colors from the outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. Michael E. Langley, at a ceremony on Panzer Kaserne.
“I am humbled by the tremendous impact we’ve made in support of our allies and partners,” said Langley. “Regardless of the challenge, I have witnessed our marines consistently rise to the occasion and represent our command with distinction.”
King, who recently served as the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Director of Expeditionary Warfare, expressed his enthusiasm to join the team and spoke to the future of Marine Corps operations and training in Europe and Africa.
“The Commandant of the Marine Corps has clearly articulated a vision of how our service will confront the security challenges of the 21st century,” said King. “In close partnership with the Navy, we will work to implement that vision here, making us a more lethal and dynamic force, better able to support our allies and partners in this theater.”
