Kliefoth (Kailua, Hawaii) stand at attention while troops from the 1st Battalion, 26th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division pass in review. Kliefoth assumed duties as commanding officer of the battalion replacing Knowles, who will become the assistant chief of staff of the 9th Marine Amphibious Brigade [9th MAB] on Okinawa.
