    A U.S. Marine Corps change of command ceremony is taking place on what appears to be a military airfield tarmac. Two senior Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are exchanging a unit guidon (flag), which is the traditional symbol of passing command authority. A formation of Marines stands at attention in the background alongside military aircraft and multiple flags.
