Soldiers, Family members, and friends of the 3rd Infantry Division gathered on Cottrell Field at Fort Stewart, Georgia, to witness the division change of command, June 21. After 24 months in command, Maj. Gen. Antonio Aguto relinquished command of the Marne Division to Maj. Gen. Charles Costanza. Aguto led the division through Hurricane Dorian impacts, the global COVID-19 pandemic and several subordinate units’ deployments to Europe, the Pacific and the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. The passing of the division’s colors from Aguto to Costanza symbolized a new chapter in the division’s history. Costanza returns to the division after once commanding its now-deactivated 3rd Brigade from 2013 to 2015. Lt. Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, commanding general of the XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, served as the ceremony’s presiding officer.
