"Oldest Post of the Corps"

U.S. Marine Corps Col. Jason C. Copeland, incoming commanding officer of Marine Barracks Washington, delivers remarks during a change of command ceremony at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., July 16, 2026. Copeland most recently served as the senior Marine Corps advisor for strategy and force development in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and has commanded Marines in combat, recruiting and infantry units, including Recruiting Station Baltimore and 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines. 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.
