CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) — The Marine Corps special operations unit is getting a new commander and a new headquarters.

Maj. Gen. Paul E. Lefebvre will assume command of the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command from Maj. Gen. Mastin M. Robeson at a ceremony at Camp Lejeune on Friday.

Robeson is retiring after 34 years of service.

After the change of command, the unit will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new headquarters building, the first part of a multimillion dollar complex that will include maintenance, training and equipment-storage facilities.
