The commander of the 1st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron—the unit that maintains F-22s for the 1st Fighter Wing at JB Langley-Eustis, Va.—has been relieved of command, several media outlets reported. Lt. Col. Ivan Pennington, who has led the squadron for the last two years, was removed March 25 by 1st FW Commander Col.

Maj. Jason Moehle has been named interim commander.
