    U.S. Army Col. John Collins, center, incoming commander of the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, delivers remarks after receiving the brigade colors and assuming command during the Transformation of Command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. Collins closed the ceremony by thanking the formation for the opportunity to lead the brigade and emphasizing his commitment to putting Soldiers first and the mission always. 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.
