Staff Sgt. Charles Crumlett, 25, of Streamwood, Illinois, died Friday after being injured in what the Air Force called a "workplace incident." The increase falls short of what the Corps has indicated it would cost to fix the living facilities’ issues. This is the first time since July 2023 that the Marine Corps’ top two positions have been filled by leaders on full duty status. Air Force recruiting boss Brig. Gen. Christopher Amrhein said Tuesday he is “cautiously optimistic” about staying on track for the rest of the year. The Marine Corps has ordered inspections of each of its barracks by March 15. The Corps’ leaders have started referring to the plan formerly known as Force Design 2030 as simply “Force Design.” Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram went missing this month. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said Marine Commandant Gen. Eric Smith is recovering from heart surgery and could return to work within weeks. Gen. Eric Smith, the Marine commandant, hasn’t been on full duty status since he went into cardiac arrest in October but plans to make a return. Troops who planned to be stateside between October and December 2023 will now come back by the end of March 2024. Load More
