    U.S. Marines with Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA(AW)) 242 stand in formation at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Oct. 16, 2020. U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Andrew Kelemen, outgoing commanding officer of VMFA(AW)-242, relinquished command to Lt. Col. Michael Wyrsch during the re-designation and change of command of VMFA(AW)-242 to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (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.
