First Air Force changes command; receives first three-star commander
Members of the Tyndall Air Force Base honor guard furl a 2-star flag and unfurl a 3-star flag in honor of Lt. Gen. Sid Clarke’s promotion. Clarke received his third star Aug. 31 immediately before assuming command of Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command Region-1st Air Force (Air Forces Northern) and making history as the first lieutenant general to ever hold a command billet at Tyndall.
