Margaret Stick, outgoing commander of the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division; British Army Brig. Gen. Andrew Ridland, deputy commanding general for maneuver of the 1st Armored Division; Col. John Collins, incoming commander of the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division; and Chief Warrant Officer 5 Donald McHugh, incoming command chief warrant officer of the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, stand at attention in front of their colors during the Transformation of Command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. The transfer of command ceremony recognizes the unit’s continuity of leadership as Soldiers and families look on. The 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade’s Transformation of Command ceremony marks a pivotal restructuring as leaders transition across the formation. The deactivation of 3rd Squadron, 6th Air Cavalry Regiment, and 2nd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, General Support Aviation Battalion, underscores the brigade’s continued commitment to the Army Structure (ARSTRUC) initiative and the strength of today’s Iron Eagles.
