Italian Air Force Maj. Bartolomeo Russo, incoming 156th Gruppo Volo (Fighter Squadron) commander, assumes command of the squadron during a change of command ceremony at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, Aug. 4, 2026. The bilateral event marked a new chapter for the squadron as they continue to produce combat-ready aviators through highly disciplined instruction. Host wing and tenant units prioritize joint and combined F-35A Lightning II interoperability, tactical discipline, and integrated training by showcasing Allied and partner forces in complex, modern threat scenarios, adapting to outpace and dominate the strategic environment in evolving global threats.
