Brown’s confirmation hearing for chairman of Joint Chiefs held this week

The long-awaited hearing to confirm the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff began July 11, as Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., testifies before the Senate Armed Services Committee. If confirmed by the Senate, Brown would be the first Airman in 18 years to serve as the commander-in-chief’s top military adviser. Brown said he had a game plan for how to handle the scrutiny: be himself. “I am who I am,” Brown said June 7. “I think about joint operations. I think about combat capability - how we’ll continue to push ourselves to ensure we have the capabilities to provide the nation what it asks us to do.”

The journey of the Marine Corps often begins with an individual seeking to serve their country with honor and dedication. When considering the Marine Corps employs more than 180,000 Marines, the odds of two individuals with a shared hometown, with all its unique characteristics and memories, embarking on similar paths is significant. In the case of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Rohman and Lt. Col. Robert Doss III, both raised in the western portion of the Florida Panhandle, their paths crossed multiple times, most recently when Rohman relinquished command of 9th Communication Battalion to Doss during a change of command ceremony on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, June 8, 2023.
