U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. James B. Wellons, right, the outgoing commanding general of 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, passes the unit colors to Brig. Gen. Robert B. Brodie, the incoming commanding general, during a change of command ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, Feb. 27, 2026. The ceremony marked the transfer of command from Wellons to Brodie. Under the command of Wellons, the Wing operated across five geographic combatant commands and logged nearly half of all active-duty flight hours while maintaining the lowest mishap rate among like formations.
