Lt. Col. Surya Frickel took command of the 466th Fighter Squadron during a ceremony here this weekend.

Frickel assumed command of the 466th FS from Lt. Col. David Castaneda, who served as commander since January 2014.

"I am here to serve you, not for you to serve me," Frickel said during his remarks. "I'm honored to work for you, because you're the best."

Prior to this assignment, Frickel was the special assistant to the 466th FS commander. He received his commission in 1995 from the U.S. Air Force Academy and joined the Air Force Reserve in 2010.
