RAF FAIRFORD, England -- On July 25, 2025, Col. D. Landon Phillips, outgoing commander of the 501st Combat Support Wing, passed the guidon to Col. Michael J. Jewell, incoming commander, during a change of command ceremony at RAF Fairford, England. The symbolic passing of the guidon represents the transfer of leadership, responsibility, and trust.
The 501 CSW enables U.S. and allied warfighters through agile combat support across 10 geographically separated units in the United Kingdom, Norway, and Cyprus. We proudly welcome Col. Jewell to the Pathfinder family.
