Broadway, left, the outgoing sergeant major of 3rd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, Marine Air Control Group 38, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, passes the noncommissioned officer sword to Lt. Col. Ramon D. Gonzalez, the commanding officer of 3rd LAAD, during a relief and appointment ceremony at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, June 11, 2025. The relief and appointment ceremony is a time-honored tradition which formally signifies the transfer of responsibility and authority from one individual to another. The mission of 3rd LAAD Battalion is to provide close-in, low altitude, surface-to-air weapons fires, and when task-organized, provide command and control, and forces for ground security in defense of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Commander's designated vital areas.
