NEW IN 2019: There will be a new Marine commandant this year
By: Shawn Snow  
The top Marine is headed into his fourth and final year as commandant of the Marine Corps, which means the torch will be passed to a new leader to continue the Corps’ modernization in 2019.
Gen. Robert B. Neller was confirmed by the Senate as the 37th commandant in August 2015, and since then, the four-star infantry officer has been on a sprint to prepare the Corps for a bout with rising adversaries.
He has overseen an overhaul of grunts with new tech, automatic weapons, grenade and rocket launchers, and is still toying over a decision to possibly boost the rifle squad to 15 Marines.
