Lt. Gen. Kenneth J. Glueck Jr., center, passes the III Marine Expeditionary Force organizational colors to Lt. Gen. John E. Wissler July 19 at the Camp Foster parade deck during a change of command ceremony. "This tour has been the fastest two and a half years of my life but without a doubt the absolute most rewarding time in my career," he said. "There is nothing better than being forward-stationed, forward-deployed, at the tip of the spear, a premier force in readiness; and having to actually show it and demonstrate it on a daily basis ... that is truly rewarding," said Glueck during his farewell address.
