U.S. Marine Corps Col. Jason C. Copeland, incoming commanding officer of Marine Barracks Washington, left, receives the organizational colors from Col. Carrie C. Batson, outgoing commanding officer of MBW, during a change of command ceremony at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., July 16, 2026. The ceremony included the passing of the organizational colors from the outgoing to the incoming commander, symbolizing the transfer of authority, responsibility, and accountability for the command, and featured marching and musical elements from Marine Barracks Washington. The ceremony took place as the “Oldest Post of the Corps” celebrates 225 years since its founding, a milestone that falls during America's 250th anniversary of independence and just one year after the Marine Corps 250th birthday.
