U.S. Army Maj. Andrew J. Schlaf, far right, the deputy assistant fire support coordinator of 1st Marine Division, and his family pose for a photo during a retirement ceremony on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, March 27, 2026. After 20 years of faithful service, Schlaf retires as the sole U.S. soldier within 1st MARDIV over the past 18 months. Personnel exchanges are common between the Army and Marine Corps, but the shared bond amongst artillerymen that began with joint classes at Fort Sill, Oklahoma marks this special occasion. Schlaf is a native of California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Ricardo Del Castillo)
