U.S. Army Col. John Collins, center, incoming commander of the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, receives the brigade colors from British Army Brig. Andrew Ridland, the division’s deputy commanding general for maneuver, during the brigade’s Change of Command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. The ceremony underscored that strong leadership remains the foundation of a disciplined and ready force. 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 support of the ARSTRUC initiative and the strength of today’s Iron Eagles.
