Manhattan, Kan.-native Gunnar A. Naughton, a team member with the Identification and Detection Platoon (IDP), Reaction Force Company, Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF), U.S. Marine Forces Command (MARFORCOM), is meritoriously promoted the rank of corporal during a battalion formation at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Md., Mar. 2, 2016.
In the Marine Corps, the rank of corporal is the first noncommissioned officer level rank, and corporals have a responsibility to their subordinates and superiors unlike any other. Naughton competed against three other CBIRF Marines on a meritorious board of his superiors to be selected for this promotion. On a meritorious board, Marines are selected based on multiple factors including physical fitness, military appearance and Marine Corps Knowledge in order to assess whether the Marine is ready to take on the responsibilities and duties of a higher grade.
