The Washington Air National Guard's 194th Wing conducted a change of command ceremony on Sep 11, 2026, at Camp Murray, WA. On this day, Col. Brian Bergren relinquished command of the 194th Wing to Col. Nathan Masunaga. The change of command ceremony is an official, formal and brief ceremony that is the military’s way of bestowing command responsibility of a unit from one officer to another. The ceremony is traditionally done in front of members of the unit, allowing each person to observe the placement of authority and responsibility onto the new commander. The presiding official for the ceremony was Brig. Gen. Ken Borchers, Commander, Washington Air National Guard. The National Anthem was sung by Master Sgt. Christopher Whitley and the invocation was given Chaplin Stephen Jarman.
