Lt. Gen. Harry M. Wyatt III received his third star and became director of the Air National Guard in a ceremony at the Pentagon on Monday, more than two months after his predecessor left the position to become chief of the National Guard Bureau.

Wyatt, who previously served as the adjutant general of the Oklahoma National Guard, was nominated for the position in December by then-President George W. Bush.

Wyatt succeeds Gen. Craig McKinley, who served as the Air Guard's director for more than two years until becoming chief Nov. 17.

Among the current adjutants general, Wyatt was often the go-to person on many issues affecting the Air Guard, Wyatt said, according to a Guard news release.

Wyatt, who also served as commander of the 138th Fighter Wing in Tulsa and as the Oklahoma Guard's chief of staff for its Joint Force Headquarters, said he was humbled by the promotion.
