SCHULZE/MAJ/MMOA-3/(703) 784-9284/ EMAIL:  [email protected]// GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  The Fiscal Year 2027 Colonel Command Screening Board convened on 8 July 2026.  Nine general officers screened the records of 209 colonels and colonels (select) for assignment to 62 commands. 2.  The board selected 62 officers as primaries for command.  To accommodate the assignment process and the availability of individual officers, the board identified 20 officers as alternates. The alternate list provides officers to meet requirements should a primary selectee decline or be otherwise unable to assume command. 3.  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.  The small number of command billets available relative to the number of eligible officers makes command selection an exceptionally competitive process. 4.  The following officers are approved as primary selectees for command: 4.a.  Commandant’s Special Selection Process Name                        Command Driscoll, Thomas E.         1st MCD Gray, Jacob O.              OCS Hall, Clinton K.            12th MCD Maese, Rogelio              HMX-1 Potter, Jason W.            MAWTS-1
