Fiscal Year 2027 Marine Barracks Washington Officer Slating Panel Announcement

1.  Marine Barracks Washington (MBW), the Oldest
Post of the Corps, requires officers of high character and
competence to lead Marines in dynamic ceremonial, security, and
training missions throughout the National Capital Region.  
Versatile officers are needed to lead in both garrison and field 
environments, and to engage with both the public and senior 
leaders.  On or about 19 May 2026, Headquarters Marine Corps will 
convene a panel to select officers for assignment to Summer 2027 
billet vacancies.
1.a.  Officers will serve as rifle platoon commanders, company
commanders, and staff officers.  All officers – regardless of 
billet– will execute highly visible, no fail missions that publicly
display the precision, discipline and ethos of the United States 
Marine Corps.  Missions include, but are not limited to, evening 
and sunset parades, funerals at Arlington National Cemetery, 
dignified transfers, joint ceremonies, security assignments, and 
unique Presidential support duties.  Officers will also train their 
Marines in infantry and other MOS skills, preparing them for future 
service in the Fleet Marine Forces.
1.b.  MBW is home to nationally recognized units like the Silent
Drill Platoon, Marine Corps Color Guard, and Marine Corps Body
Bearers Section.  It is the site of the Home of the Commandants,
which along with the Barracks, is a registered National Historic
Landmark.  MBW Marines operate and guard the installation every 
day.
1.c.  A tour at MBW is a unique, challenging, and rewarding
leadership opportunity in an officer's career.  Selected officers
will join the long legacy of "Barracks Marines" who have served 
with pride, excellence, and camaraderie since 1801.  To learn more,
contact the MBW POC to connect with current MBW officers.
