U.S. Marines with Marine Aircraft Group 13, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, participate in the change of command ceremony for Col. Roy J. Nicka, the outgoing commanding officer of MAG-13 and Col. Alexander E. Goodno, the incoming commanding officer of MAG-13 at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, Aug. 29, 2025. During his command, Nicka balanced readiness across four fifth generation fighter squadrons, enabling three unit deployments and one bilateral exercise, spearheaded the Marine Corps' first MQ-9A Reaper inter-theater redeployment into the Indo-Pacific region, and ultimately generated more than 7.000 flight hours of strike, fighter and reconnaissance mission in support of 3rd MAW (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
