Jones, left, 86th Airlift Wing commander, during a change of command ceremony at Lajes Field, Portugal, Aug. 19, 2022.

    A senior U.S. Air Force enlisted member, identifiable as a Chief Master Sergeant by the chevron insignia on his sleeve, stands at attention holding a blue guidon flag with gold lettering partially reading 'USAF'. He is wearing the Air Force Service Dress uniform adorned with multiple rows of ribbons, badges, and decorations, suggesting extensive service. The setting appears to be an indoor military ceremony or formal event on a stage.
    A U.S. Air Force officer in dress blues is delivering a speech at a wooden podium equipped with a microphone.
