STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - In a ceremony Jan. 10, Col. Kristin Brawley assumed command of the newly activated 193rd Air Operations Group, State College, Pennsylvania.
This new distinction from air operations squadron to air operation group allows the unit to be recognized and supported at the level at which their missions dictate, according to wing leadership.
The ceremony began with preliminary honors and ended with the symbolic passing of the guidon, representing a new chapter for the wing.
“When we close this chapter, we start a new one,” said Col. Mike Cason, commander of the 193rd Special Operations Wing. “The group’s construct does change; the guidon changes, but your selfless service remains the same.”
In addition to activating the 193rd AOG, the 193rd Air Communication Squadron, the 193rd Air Intelligence Squadron and the 193rd Combat Operations Squadron were also activated, said Brawley.
“This is a time of great opportunity, as individuals and as units,” said Brawley. “I’m excited about creating a world class organization here in State College.”
