Gen. Eric M. Smith, the recently installed commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, has been hospitalized after experiencing what the Marine Corps said was a 'medical emergency' over the weekend, officials said Monday.
Then-Acting Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Eric Smith speaks during a relinquishment of office ceremony for U.S. Marine Corps Gen. David Berger on Monday, July 10, 2023, at the Marine Barracks in Washington. Gen. Eric M. Smith, the recently installed commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, has been hospitalized after experiencing what the Marine Corps said was a “medical emergency” over the weekend, officials said Monday.
Gen. Smith was nominated in May 2023 to succeed Gen. David H. Berger as commandant of the Marine Corps. He became acting commandant upon his predecessor’s retirement in July. His nomination was delayed by Alabama GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military nominees. He was confirmed by a unanimous 96-0 vote on Sept. 21, 2023, and sworn in the next day.
“Nobody should feel bad for me,” Gen. Smith told reporters then, according to an account in the Marine Corps Times. “I make plenty of money, and nobody usually yells at me, so that’s good. But it is not a sustainable thing when the last thing you do is flip your computer off at 11:30 at night and you’re getting up at 5 o’clock in the morning.”
