U.S. Air Force Col. Zak Blom, 492nd Special Operations Wing commander, left, passes the guidon to Chief Master Sgt. Matthew Macella, the incoming 492nd SOW command chief, during a change of responsibility ceremony at Hurlburt Field, Fla., June 1, 2026. The passing of the guidon is a military tradition that symbolizes the transfer of responsibility and authority from the outgoing command chief, Chief Master Sgt. Joshua Moore, to the new one. As the senior enlisted leader for the wing, the command chief plays a crucial role in advising the commander on matters concerning the morale, welfare, and professional development of the enlisted force.
