Nicka, the outgoing commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 13, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, and family pose in front of an F-35B Lightning II assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 225, MAG-13, 3rd MAW, before his change of command ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, Aug. 29, 2025. During his command, Nicka balanced readiness across four fifth generation fighter squadrons, enabling three unit deployments and one bilateral exercise, spearheaded the Marine Corps’ first MQ-9A Reaper inter-theater redeployment into the Indo-Pacific region, and ultimately generated more than 7,000 flight hours of strike, fighter and reconnaissance mission in support of 3rd MAW.
