U.S. Army Maj. Andrew J. Schlaf, left, the deputy assistant fire support coordinator with 1st Marine Division, receives the United States flag from U.S. Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sgt. Daniel E. Haack, the fires chief of 1st Marine Division, 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, and Haack is a native of Iowa. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Ricardo Del Castillo)
