U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Gregory, outgoing sergeant major, and 1st Sgt. Julian Billmair, incoming sergeant major, stand at attention before the passing of the ceremonial sword during a relief and appointment ceremony on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, July 1, 2026. The passing of the ceremonial sword symbolizes the transfer of authority and responsibility from the outgoing senior enlisted leader to the incoming senior enlisted leader, marking the formal transition of leadership and the continuity of the battalion's mission. Relief and appointment ceremonies are time-honored military traditions that formally transfer the responsibilities and duties of a unit's senior enlisted leader.
