U.S. Army Lt. Col. Justin Thomas, commander of 2nd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, leads his Soldiers onto Iron Soldier Field for the casing of their battalion colors during the Transformation of Command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. The casing of the colors is a traditional ceremony symbolizing the unit’s formal inactivation and the conclusion of its mission. The 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade’s Transformation of Command marks a pivotal restructuring as leaders transition across the formation, and the deactivation of 3-6 ACS and 2-501st GSAB underscores the brigade’s continued commitment to the ARSTRUC initiative and the strength of today’s Iron Eagles.
