Richard, outgoing sergeant major of Marine Barracks Washington, during a relief and appointment ceremony at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., April 17, 2026. The relief and appointment ceremony is a time-honored tradition that formally signifies the transfer of responsibility between senior enlisted leaders. Sgt. Maj. Juan Segura is appointed as sergeant major of 8th & I as the installation celebrates 225 years since its founding and the battalion prepares for America's 250th birthday.
