U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ross “Matthew” Ridge, outgoing commander of 1st Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, passes the battalion guidon to Lt. Col. Christopher Beckwith, incoming commander of 1‑501st Aviation Battalion, 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade, during a change of command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. The passing of the guidon symbolizes the transfer of authority, responsibility, and accountability from the outgoing commander to the incoming commander. 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 3‑6 Air Cavalry Squadron and 2‑501st General Support Aviation Battalion underscores the brigade’s continued commitment to the Army Structure (ARSTRUC) initiative and the strength of today’s Iron Eagles.
