PENTAGON – The U.S. Marine Corps does not have a confirmed
leader for the first time in 164 years, following Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger’s relinquish-of-command
ceremony held Monday and Berger’s private retirement
ceremony.

The last time the Marines were without a confirmed leader was
1859 following the sudden death of Commandant Archibald
Henderson. (FOX NEWS)
