Brig. Gen. Andrew Ridland, deputy commanding general for maneuver of the 1st Armored Division, gives remarks following the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, change of command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. Ridland reflected on the brigade’s accomplishments, thanked Soldiers and families, and looked ahead to the mission under new leadership. 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.
