U.S. Air Force Col. Gregory Richert, 374th Medical Group commander, left, passes the guidon to Lt. Col. Sara Jansch, incoming 374th Surgical Operations Squadron commander, during an assumption of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, June 17, 2025. The assumption and change of command ceremonies are a tradition dating back to the Roman era, when military leaders would pass a baton, colors, standards, or ensigns that symbolized the passing of command to subordinates in attendance, ensuring unit members were never without official leadership or a continuation of trust.
