Gen. Michael Cederholm to be the new commander of I Marine Expeditionary Force, one of the three main Marine forces, according to a Defense Department news release. An aviator by training, Cederholm has served as deputy commandant for aviation since July 2022, according to his official bio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He will replace Lt. Gen. George Smith, who assumed command of I Marine Expeditionary Force, in September 2021. The Marine Corps didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment about what comes next for Smith, a career infantryman who received his commission in 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cederholm previously served as commander of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. He has flown every operational aircraft model in the Corps\u2019 inventory, according to his bio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headquartered at Camp Pendleton, California, I Marine Expeditionary Force is composed of approximately 53,000 Marines and sailors across four main bases, according to the force\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj. Gen. Bradford Gering will pin on a third star and replace Cederholm as the Corps\u2019 aviation boss. He currently is in charge of 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, I MEF\u2019s aviation unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another two-star has been appointed to lieutenant general: Maj. Gen. Gregory Masiello. Now a military deputy to the undersecretary of defense for policy, Masiello has been assigned to be director of the Defense Contract Management Agency, according to the Department of Defense release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lt.
