Good Evening, General US Scout;
I thank the General for the confidence he has reposed in me, and look forward to working with all of the current and future members of the Department of the Pacific.
Within the next few days, I shall announce appointments of Officers and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers with the various Divisions of the Department.
I have the honor to remain,
Your Obedient Servant,
Bvt Colonel Malachi Thorne, USMC
Commanding
Department of the Pacific
