    Three U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are conducting a military change of command or activation ceremony indoors. The central action involves the passing of a unit guidon/flag between two soldiers, a traditional military ceremony ritual. All personnel are wearing face masks, suggesting this took place during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

    Col. Ben Patrick McFall III assumes command of U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground from outgoing commander Col. Ross Poppenberger in a virtual ceremony on July 8, 2020. The modest ceremony was held virtually as a COVID-19 mitigation measure, with hundreds watching a live stream on YPG’s Facebook page as fewer than 50 looked on in person. Maj. Gen. Joel K. Tyler, Commanding General of the Army Test and Evaluation Command, officiated remotely from Aberdeen, Md.
    McFall assumes command as the proving ground’s position at the forefront of Army modernization efforts have garnered national attention.
