From left, U.S. Air Force Col. Richard McElhaney, 374th Airlift Wing commander, renders a salute to Lt. Col. Casey Hawkins, 374th Comptroller Squadron incoming commander, during a change of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, June 11, 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.
