PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Col. Robert Stanton, right, accepts the 302nd Operations Group guideon from Col. Jay Pittman during an assumption of command ceremony here Feb. 19, 2015. He said he is coming into the position of group commander with three expectations: for everyone to give 100 percent, to use innovation during these challenging times, and, what he called the hardest one, the need to have fun. This will be Stanton’s second wing with a special mission. His last position was the Deputy Commander of the 403rd Operations Group, Keesler AFB, Miss. which has the “Hurricane Hunters” aerial weather reconnaissance mission. The 302nd Operations Group is home to the only Reserve wing with an aerial firefighting mission. Pittman, 302nd Airlift Wing Commander, was the presiding official of the ceremony.
