Colonel Adam Sitler has assumed command of the 142nd Fighter Wing during a ceremony on Portland Air National Guard Base.

Colonel Adam Sitler will become the new 142nd Fighter Wing commander, with more than 22 years of military experience. He began his military career after graduating from the United States Air Force Academy in May 1996 at Colorado Springs, Colorado. After completing undergraduate pilot and F-15 Eagle training, he spent more than 10 years on active duty with assignments at Lakenheath, United Kingdom, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, and finally at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where he served as the chief of F-15 Projects. He is a command-rated pilot with more than 3,300 flight hours with more than 290 combat hours.
In January of 2007, Sitler left active duty and joined the Oregon Air National Guard’s 142nd Fighter Wing serving as squadron and wing weapons officer, flight commander, squadron operations officer, 123rd Fighter Squadron commander, 142nd Operations Group commander and most recently as the Wing’s vice commander.
Col. Duke Pirak, who commanded the 142nd Fighter Wing since November 2016, transitions to begin his next assignment as the Director, Chief National Guard Bureau Action Group in Washington, D.C. More
