MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. - Lt. Col. Halstead Meadows III relinquished command to Lt. Col. Richard T. Anderson during the Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 366 change of command inside the squadron’s hangar Nov. 4.
“These Marines have completed every task I have ever asked of them,” said Meadows. “The greatest achievement these Marines have done since I took over was just completing every task like true professionals.”
Meadows served as the commanding officer for HMH-366 for 18 months and has sent many detachments around the world to include one in Afghanistan and two to the Horn of Africa.
“Leaving this unit is going to be hard,” said Meadows. “These Marines and their families have become a part of my family.
Lucky for me I’m moving just down the road and will be able to check in from time to time. I couldn’t have asked for a better replacement. Tibby you have been a great friend and will do great things for this squadron.”
Meadows will be heading to Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C., where he will be replacing Anderson as the executive officer of Marine Aircraft Group 29.
Anderson will be taking charge of his first squadron and said he looks forward to leading the Marines and continuing the work Meadows has started.
“Here on the East Coast we are detachment providers for Marine expeditionary units as well as other locations around the world,” said Anderson. “[Meadows] has done a great job and has taught these Marines the value of hard work. I look to continue the traditions of the Hammerheads and work hard alongside these Marines.”
