Capt. Erich C. Frandrup relieved Capt. Shaun T. Lieb as the commodore of CTF 75-Navy Expeditionary Forces Command Pacific during a ceremony on July 12.
Rear Adm. Bradley J. Andros, the commander of Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, presided over the ceremony, praised Lieb saying, "We needed to make
an impact out here. You've knocked it out of the park." Andros pointed to the command's accomplishments achieved during Lieb's tenure, particularly the team's response to Typhoon Mawar in 2023, and advancements in the Philippines and Australia.
Lieb assumed command of CTF 75 in June 2022. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for his accomplishments during his tenure at CTF 75. Leib's next assignment will be at the National War College in Washington D.C.
Frandrup shared his excitement on joining the command, which includes seven task groups with more than 1,300 personnel forward-postured throughout the Indo-Pacific region. CTF 75 is a part of the U.S. 7th Fleet. mbj
