Berger, commanding general of I Marine Expeditionary Force, speaks at the deactivation ceremony for Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., Jan. 9; symbolically closing another chapter in Marine Corps history following the 13-year conflict known as Operation Enduring Freedom. Marine Expeditionary Brigade - Afghanistan officially took authority of Regional Command (Southwest) from II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) Feb. 5, 2014, and assumed the responsibility to lead coalition operations in Helmand and Nimroz provinces. The Marines completed operations and departed Afghanistan Oct. 27, 2014. “We all should be very proud from beginning to end in what we did in Afghanistan, and this MEB is closing that last chapter, said Berger during his speech.”
