    U.S. Air Force Col. Clayton Thompson (left), 187th Maintenance Group Commander, transfers the 187th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (AMXS) guidon staff to Capt. Bryon Townsend, during a change of command ceremony at Dannelly Field in Montgomery, Alabama, Sep. 12, 2026. The passing of the guidon is rooted in military tradition and symbolizes the formal transfer of authority to the new commander. Townsend addressed his new squadron by stating that he is proud to be selected to lead the 187th AMXS. "Thank you for trusting me with the responsibility of being your commander. Now let's get to work," Townsend continued. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Airman 1st Class Andre Bordlee)
