1MCD Marine of the Month !

Fort Hamilton, New York (Oct. 6, 2026)

Sgt. Carlos Moreno Hernandez, a New York native, is recognized as 1st Marine Corps District’s Marine of the Month for his hard work and dedication!
His job as an operations non-commissioned officer in charge provides reviewing daily contracts and shipping applicants to ensure their processing support for the Eastern Recruiting Region. Additionally, reviewing medical waivers to ensure timely processing of applicants.
“What I value most about my job is the continuous learning environment.” said Moreno, ‘ It allows me to build a strong foundational skillset that I look forward to leveraging in my future recruiting career.”
“It is powerful to watch people who refuse to let a bad day dictate their attitude. When leaders show up with consistent energy despite the friction, they aren’t just doing a job—they are absorbing the stress so the team can perform.”
Moreno said “Being the first Marine in our family means everything to me, especially because I want to be a role model my younger brother can look up to.”

Summer in the Philippines 🇵🇭🤝🇺🇸

Throughout summer 2026, I Marine Expeditionary Force brought together forces from across the Marine Air-Ground Task Force to train, integrate and operate alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines across the Philippine archipelago.

Through major exercises and persistent bilateral engagements, I MEF strengthened bilateral command and control, maritime operations, fires, aviation, logistics and littoral maneuver while building the relationships required to operate together.
I MEF’s presence in the Philippines, including through Marine Rotational Force – Southeast Asia, is presence with purpose. Shoulder to shoulder with our Philippine allies, I MEF Marines and Sailors are building readiness, strengthening the U.S.-Philippine alliance and ensuring our forces are prepared to operate and respond together when it matters most.
