Ronald L. Selvidge Jr. assumed command of the wing from Brig. Gen. Terence G. Taylor, outgoing 380th AEW commander. Chief Master Sgt. J. Stacy Cutshaw also took responsibility as the wing\u2019s new command chief, replacing Command Chief Master Sgt. Christopher Murphy.\n\n\u201cI have been waiting for this day; I have been anticipating it. I am excited about the new challenge,\u201d said Selvidge.\n\nPrior to taking command, Selvidge served as the deputy commander of the 134th Air Refueling Wing, McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base, Tennessee. Cutshaw was the command chief master sergeant of the 134th ARW.\n\nAs Selvidge addressed the 380th AEW, he expressed a desire to speak from the heart.\n\n\u201cI like to speak about the things that I think are foundational to our success overall,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have big priorities; we have big missions, but those are all done by people here. We don\u2019t succeed because of the shield or our patch that says 380th Air Expeditionary Wing. We succeed because the people behind that patch and behind that shield are doing exceptional jobs at every level.\u201d\n\n\u201cAttitude and effort, for me, are the foundation of solid, incredible service,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think we are fully in control of those each and every day, and I hope you will join me in that.\u201d\n\nA change of command ceremony not only gives a new commander the opportunity to set their vision for their team, but it also allows departing commanders to bid farewell to those they have led.\n\n\u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for a better team here over the past year,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThe pride I feel of having had the opportunity to lead here is unparalleled. And, as we change command here today, my advice to you is simple: continue to lean in, push forward, and as the C-Staff [Chief of Staff of the Air Force] has said, follow through.\u201d\n\nThe change of command and change of responsibility ceremony is deeply rooted in military tradition. The change of command allows subordinates to witness the formal transfer of total authority from one officer to another. While the change of responsibility displays the passing of the Command\u2019s Colors to the new custodian \u2013 the command chief, who is the senior enlisted leader of the wing.\n\nAlthough a change of command and change of responsibility ceremony are not normally combined, the shared event is indicative of how the U.S. Air Force has modified its rotational deployment model to deploy as teams.\n\nThe senior enlisted leaders joined their commanders in words of appreciation and praise.\n\n\u201cYou are the pulse and strength of this wing,\u201d said Murphy, out-going command chief. \u201cYou should be proud and appreciate the work you and your teammates have done to deliver airpower, to defend this region and to develop those critical partnerships with our allies and partners in the region.\u201d\n\nThe new command chief echoed the same feelings.\n\n\u201cTo the outgoing Airmen, I want to say job well done,\u201d said Cutshaw. \u201cThrough adversities and challenges, you all have improved the wing. You have made relationships, and above all, you have continued the mission. I want you to take that home. Have pride in your time here.\u201d\n\n\u201cTo the incoming team, what an opportunity that we\u2019ve been left with,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe outgoing team has set us up for success. I know we will have challenges moving forward; there will be struggles, but I\u2019m confident in our skill-set, our teamwork and innovation that we will be successful.\u201d<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New leadership took command of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing during a change of command and change of responsibility ceremony April 1, 2024, at an undisclosed location within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.
