Sergeant Maj. William Schaffer, sergeant major of Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force South, and a native of Roanoke, Va., recites the oath of enlistment with the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus during his reenlistment held aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), Aug. 19, 2014. The reenlistment and promotions were held prior to an all hands meeting where Mabus addressed the Marines and Sailors with America and SPMAGTF-South. Mabus also toured the ship, had dinner with Marines and Sailors in the mess deck and attended an ice cream social. Visits like this remind the Marines and Sailors with America and the SPMAGTF of the significance of the work they are doing. SPMAGTF-South is embarked aboard America in support of her maiden transit, “America Visits the Americas.” Through partner-nation activities, theater security events and key leader engagements, the transit aims to demonstrate the flexibility, utility and unparalleled expeditionary capability the Navy-Marine Corps team provides our nation and partners.
