    U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Idris Turray, left, Sergeant Major of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 242, and Lt. Col. Michael Wyrsch, commanding officer of VMFA-242, unsheathe colors at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Oct. 16, 2020. U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Andrew Kelemen, outgoing commanding officer of Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA(AW)) 242, relinquished command to Wyrsch during the re-designation and change of command of VMFA(AW)-242 to (VMFA)-242. VMFA-242’s transition to the F-35B Lightning II brings advanced avionics capabilities to joint, allied, and partner forces in support of the U.S.-Japan Alliance and a free and open Indo-Pacific.
