Gen. David Berger becomes the 38th Marine commandant. Here’s what he will face leading the Corps
By: Shawn Snow  
Gen. David Berger became the Corps’ 38th commandant following a passage of command ceremony held at Marine Barracks in Washington on Thursday.
“We will never send our Marines into a fair fight,†Berger told those in attendance.
“I know we need to modernize the Marine Corps,†and need to train better and recruit the best people, he said. “Marines are different;" they are not defined by equipment or vehicles, but by their warrior ethos, he said.
Berger now presides over a Marine Corps at an inflection point as it continues to modernize its force for a fight with rising rivals like Russia and China.
