U.S. Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Brennan P. McDonald, right, outgoing commander of the 300th Airlift Squadron, relinquishes the unit guidon to Col. Christine Van Weezendonk, 315th Operations Group commander, during the unit’s change of command at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, Oct. 4, 2025. The change of command ceremony is a formal, traditional military event where an outgoing commander transfers authority, responsibility, and accountability to an incoming commander, symbolized by the passing of the organizational guidon, a flag to represent the unit. This ancient military tradition has historical roots dating back to Roman times and continues today, allowing the unit's members to witness their new leader assume command and to ensure a smooth, visible transition of leadership.
