U.S. Air Force Maj. Corey Arruda, center, 30th Contracting Squadron commander, passes the ceremonial guidon to U.S. Space Force Col. James T. Horne III, left, Space Launch Delta 30 commander, during a change of command ceremony at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., June 18, 2026. The passing of the ceremonial guidon symbolizes Arruda relinquishing command of the 30th CONS. The 30th CONS supports mission partners to acquire and administer contracts, helping ensure Space Launch Delta 30 can enable space superiority through service, supply, construction, and Western Spaceport support contracts.
