Operation committee, all present or accounted for. Hang on, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, we now come to the ceremony of the most solemn moment, the actual passing of command. The ballot of columns of the ring corps unit symbolize the authority and accountability of command. Transferring decoders during the ceremony symbolizes the relinquishing of command Lieutenant Colonel Galeo and by accepting the colors Lieutenant Colonel Chu accepts command and confirms his total commitment to the Marines and sailors that he will command. Sergeant Major Christopher Gasser is delivering the decoders to commanding officer. Hooray! Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the passing of the colors. From commandant of the ring corps to Lieutenant Colonel William E. Galeo II, effective 0900, 18 June 2021, with following assignment to U.S. Embassy, Paris, France, as a Marine at Taché. Sign David H. Berger, General, United States Marine Corps. From commandant of the ring corps to Lieutenant Colonel Allen S. Chu, effective 0900, 18 June 2021, you are directed to assume your duties as commanding officer during intelligence battalion. Sign David H. Berger, General, United States Marine Corps. I think more than most, I would just kind of end with, I've cherished the discussions we've had, the impact that you've had on the MiG and the fact that you were laser focused on the very, very difficult task of the profession of being a warrior. And I return back to that comment that the best testimony I can give to you is, you know, you continue to inspire me that every day we've got to get up and do more because it's going to keep Marines alive. It's going to make us successful in the battle space. And that's the full measure that they deserve. And that's, you know, all driven through your leadership. So thank you, Semper Fidelis. And I know it's not goodbye. I look forward to one day when you're probably in this spot saying hello and goodbye to your own intelligence battalion commanders. My brother, my friend, my TBS classmate, my fellow planner, I tell you what, Allen Chu, we have got an extraordinary leader coming in to blend in with these already extraordinary leaders. Like Carl Gerber said, man, when I saw your name on there, I jumped out of my seat. I can't say how happy I am. And so proud of you coming here to our beloved battalion. And I'll tell you, sitting in your seat two years ago, I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. And I'll tell you, you are the luckiest guy in the world, man. You really hit the jackpot with this place and these people. To my beloved Marines, my fellows, I find farewell. Farewell. All we see is at Semper Fidelis. Farewell. Thank you. Bill, thank you for everything you have done for this unit. It really shows, I know you've put your heart and soul into it and it shows with this unit. I could have asked for a better person to turn the unit over with. And I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to continue to follow your leading example and take care of our Marines, sailors, civilians, and other factors. Good hand, Allen. You're a good hand.
