Capt. Ryan Manning relieved Capt. Rebecca Ore as the U.S. Coast Guard’s Los Angeles/Long Beach sector commander during a ceremony this week in San Pedro.
Manning came from Coast Guard Activities Europe, where he was the commanding officer. Ore will transfer to Coast Guard headquarters as the assistant commandant for intelligence.
As sector commander, Manning will be in charge of more than 550 active duty, reserve and civilian personnel and 1,200 all-volunteer Coast Guard Auxiliary members.
The area of operations includes 14 field command and supporting units and covers 350 miles of California coast, from the San Luis Obispo County to San Diego County.
Before his current assignment, Manning most recently served as the officer in charge of marine inspections, ensuring U.S. commercial vessels and foreign cruise ships comply with U.S. regulations and international conventions throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
A native of Burbank, South Dakota, Manning received his commission from the Coast Guard Academy in 1994. He was assigned to the Coast Guard Cutter Active as the Main Propulsion Division chief and Damage Control assistant.
The change of command ceremony, which took place on Wednesday, June 22, at the Coast Guard Base Los Angeles/Long Beach, is a military tradition representing a formal transfer of authority and responsibility.
