U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, stand in formation during the Transformation of Command ceremony at Fort Bliss, Texas, June 25, 2026. During the ceremony, the colors of 2nd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment and 3rd Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment were cased in recognition of their deactivation. The ceremony also marked the formal transfer of command for 1st Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, and the 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade, symbolizing continuity of leadership and mission readiness across the brigade. 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.
