The training is conducted by infantry units and some support units before deployment. 40-year-old Master Sergeant Dwayne King led the Marine Corps Band for the Presidential Inauguration Parade. Master Sergeant King said the performance is the biggest he's led as drum major. It's a huge honor for me. It's easily the biggest event I've ever performed in. I've done a lot of high-profile events but none with this much historical significance. The fact that we get to be a small part of the most American processes of peaceful transfer of power within our inauguration, it is huge. That's all for this week on The Corps Report.
