The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment welcomed a new commander as Colonel Kevin W. Mangum relinquished command to Colonel Clayton M. Hutmacher during a ceremony at Fort Campbell, Ky., May 27.

"Let there be no doubt this is the most complex and advanced aviation regiment in the world," said Lieutenant General Robert W. Wagner, commander of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, who presided over the ceremony. "And you have been well commanded for the last 36 months each and every day by Mrs. Mangum and Colonel Kevin Mangum."

Wagner told the crowd of Mangum's proven combat leadership, courage, judgment and quality of service.

"As with many other leaders and Soldiers whose successes you have enabled and whose lives you have saved, your service is legendary," he said

In his farewell remarks, Mangum reflected on his time as a Night Stalker and recognized his Soldiers and their families, including his own.
