In 1995, he served as the executive officer of the 8th Marine Regiment, then assumed command of 3rd Battalion 8th Marines.

After a short period as the executive officer of the 2nd Marine Regiment in 1998, he transferred to Headquarters Marine Corps to direct the Strategic Initiatives Group and the Commandant's "War Room".

He assumed command of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit in 2000, and in the wake of the September 11 attacks, lead the unit into Afghanistan.[1]
