Col. Scott Briese (right), incoming 944th Maintenance Group commander, accepts the group guidon from Col. Bryan Cook, 944th Fighter Wing commander, during an assumption of command ceremony Feb. 10 at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. The wing rewrote history by reactivating the group as well as two maintenance squadrons under it. The group was initially formed in the early 1990’s and supported operations in Iraq and Afghanistan until it’s deactivation in 2006. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Nestor Cruz)
