A cunning warrior, compassionate leader, and expert tactician Neller would led Marines in battles all across the world.

He trained future generations of both enlisted Marines at MCRD San Diego and officers at Quantico, Virginia. He also served in a NATO staff position in Belgium and interacted frequently with US allies and partners.  But this is only a small part of his entire career so be so to tune into this episode to find out all about General Robert Neller's career in the United States Marine Corps and service to his nation.  -----Don't forget to subscribe so you do not miss a new episode! -------- Apple Listeners please leave a five star review and feedback, it really helps the podcast grow!
