    The 779th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron guidon is furled as the 61st EAS guidon is displayed for the first time officially during a redesignation and change of command ceremony on Nov. 2, 2021, at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait. The 779th EAS has been active in the U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility since the early 2000s. The 779th was redesignated the 61st EAS, which flies the newer and more capable C-130J Super Hercules. The C-130J flies faster, is able to carry more passengers or cargo, and requires two less aircrew members to fly. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Michael S. Murphy)
