From the left, U.S. Air Force Col. Nathan Powell, 374th Operations Group commander, and Lt. Col. Steve Larson, 36th Airlift Squadron incoming commander, pass the guidon during the 36 AS change of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, May 20, 2026. The change of command ceremony is a tradition dating back to the Roman era, where military leaders would pass batons, colors, standards, or ensigns that symbolized the passing of command to subordinates in attendance and ensured unit members were never without official leadership or a continuation of trust.
