    A military ceremony is taking place inside a large tent or temporary structure, with a uniformed soldier speaking at a wooden podium bearing a military insignia. The audience includes both military personnel in uniform standing in formation along the walls and seated dignitaries wearing traditional Arab dress (thobes and keffiyehs) in the foreground. An American flag and multiple military unit flags are displayed prominently in the background.

    Col. Mark Stammer, commander of 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division (Advise and Assist Brigade), addresses the paramount sheiks and other dignitaries of Al Anbar province, senior American and Iraqi military leadership and Iraqi security force officials during a transfer of authority ceremony Sept. 26, 2009, at Camp Ramadi, Iraq. The ceremony marks the end of nearly six years of a Marine Ground Combat Element presence in Al Anbar province and the step-off point for the Army's first fully-augmented advise-and-assist brigade assigned the mission of security-force assistance.
