U.S. Marines conduct a change of command ceremony for 12th Marine Regiment on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, July 26, 2023. The ceremony represented the official transfer of command of 12th Marines from Col. Jonathan Sims to Col. Peter Eltringham. During Col. Sims’ tenure, 12th Marines increased relationships with their allies in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) by establishing bilateral ground tactical coordination centers (BGTCC) with the JGSDF through multiple iterations of exercises Resolute Dragon, Keen Edge, and Keen Sword. These BGTCCs allowed 3d Marine Division and III Marine Expeditionary Force to build proficiency with their JGSDF counterparts, increasing combined capabilities, flexibility, and adaptability.
