    U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. James Carson, 163d Operations Support Squadron, salutes Col. Joshua Assayag, Commander of the 163d Attack Wing, during the Wing’s Command Chief Assumption of Responsibility ceremony, March Air Reserve Base, Calif., August 1, 2026. Chief Master Sgt. Ryan Williams relinquished command to Chief Master Sgt. Joan Nguyen. Nguyen enlisted in the Department of the Air Force in 1999, joined the California Air National Guard in 2007, and was previously the 163d Mission Support Group senior enlisted leader. Nguyen’s duty history and proven leadership make her the right choice to lead the Wing’s enlisted force to success. Assayag and Carson are members of the California Air National Guard.
