    Two U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are participating in a formal change of command or guidon ceremony on a grass parade field. One soldier is passing a unit guidon (flag on a staff) to the other, a traditional military ritual signifying transfer of command authority. The ceremony appears to take place at a historic military installation based on the stone building visible in the background.
