Lancaster, from Texas, the incoming commanding officer, both with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 264, Marine Aircraft Group 26, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, apply battle streamers to the organizational colors during a reactivation ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, Dec. 11, 2025.
