MajGen Kyle Ellison

Commanding General, 3D Marine Division

Leading from the front in the nation's most critical strategic region, Major General Kyle B. Ellison commands the 3rd Marine Division. Stationed in the heart of the Indo-Pacific, he is responsible for keeping the "Tip of the Spear" sharp, ensuring his Marines are ready to fight and win in a complex and ever-evolving theater. His leadership is central to maintaining a persistent, combat-ready presence that deters aggression and secures a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Major General Ellison’s command of the 3rd Marine Division is the culmination of a career forged in combat and steeped in strategic planning. He has led Marines at every level, from the streets of Iraq with the 1st Battalion, Seventh Marines, to the mountains of Afghanistan with the 2nd Battalion, Sixth Marines. His command of the Seventh Marine Regiment and the Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C., instilled in him a profound understanding of the warrior ethos that defines the Corps.

Having served at the highest echelons, from the Joint Staff to the Commandant's personal staff, Major General Ellison brings a unique blend of strategic vision and frontline experience to his current role. Today, he is not just preparing for the future fight; he is living it, guiding the Marines who stand ready to respond to any crisis, anywhere, at a moment's notice.
