Lt. Col. Nicholas J. Harvey was relieved of command of the Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361, known as the “Flying Tigers,” on Nov. 18.
The move comes as Ellsworth Air Force Base prepares for the arrival of the new B-21 Raider.
The unit transitioned from an operational RQ-21A Blackjack drone squadron to the Corps’ Reaper Fleet Replacement Squadron in July 2023.
Nearly 40 Guardsmen have received Purple Hearts for injuries sustained in the January drone attack, officials said.
