With the passing of the squadron guidon, Maj. Melvin Ibarreta assumed command of the 349th Civil Engineer Squadron from Mission Support Group commander Col. Nancy Brooks, Jan. 5. Waiting to receive the guidon back is Staff Sgt. Jared Bayer.

Ibarreta has been assigned to the squadron for 10 years, and has known some of his Airmen that long. His first important task is to prepare them for the February operational readiness inspection.
