U.S. Air Force Col. Brian Diehl, commander of the 153rd Airlift Wing, left, transfers a guidon to Col. Lawrence Sullivan, deputy commander for operations, during a transformation ceremony at the Wyoming Air National Guard Base in Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 3, 2025. The ceremony marked a historic shift in the wing’s organizational structure, transitioning from the traditional Air Force model to a dual-deputy command alignment designed to enhance combat readiness, operational agility, and joint-force interoperability. The 153rd Operations and Maintenance Groups formally relinquished command, as former commanders Col. Lawrence Sullivan and Col. Bret Trippel assumed new roles as deputy commanders for operations and sustainment. The restructuring reflects a broader Department of the Air Force initiative to build mission-ready combat formations in an evolving era of strategic competition.
