    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) are participating in a formal military ceremony involving the transfer of a ceremonial saber. The soldier on the left, identified by his name tape as 'RHOADES,' is engaged with the soldier on the right in a sword-passing ritual, likely a change of command or senior NCO induction ceremony. The setting appears to be an indoor gymnasium or drill hall.
