Lt. Gen. Robert B. Neller, a veteran infantry officer who commanded troops in Iraq from 2005 to 2007, has been selected to serve as the Marine Corps’ new top officer, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said Wednesday.
The general’s nomination was announced in a news conference at the Pentagon. Carter called Neller a warrior, leader and statesman, and said they first got to know each other when Neller was the director of operations for the Joint Staff at the Pentagon. They collaborated on providing urgent needs to combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and traveled to the war zone together.
