The change of command ceremony is a military tradition representing a handover of authorities and responsibilities within a unit or command.

The passing of colors from an out-going commander to an in-coming commander ensures that the unit and its members are never without official leadership. This time honored tradition represents a continuation of trust, and signifies an allegiance of Airmen to their unit’s commander.
