U.S. Marine Corps Col. Luke Watson passes the colors to Col. David Merles, relinquishing command of Blount Island Command and Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island during a change of command ceremony July 2 at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island in Florida. The ceremony took place in the USNS Sgt. William W. Seay, docked at a 1,000-foot slipway near a high-capacity crane used to load and unload U.S. Navy maritime prepositioning ships. Merles will lead more than 1,200 service members, government civilians and defense contractors at the hub of the Marine Corps’ prepositioning programs. Blount Island Command supports Marine expeditionary forces worldwide during military exercises and contingency operations, from combat to humanitarian.
