Maj. Darrell A. Melrose, incoming commander of the 318th Theater Public Affairs Support Element, accepts guidon from outgoing commander, Lt. Col. Dwayne Wirfel, during a change of command ceremony at the Arlington Heights Reserve Center, Arlington Heights, Illinois, on February 9, 2020. A change of command is a military tradition that represents a formal transfer of authority and responsibility for a unit from one commanding officer to another. The passing of colors from an outgoing commander to an incoming one ensures that the unit and its soldiers is never without official leadership, a continuation of trust, and also signifies an allegiance of soldiers to their unit's commander.
