Mario Coaxum, incoming commander of the 260th Special Purpose Brigade, bows their head in prayer during a change of command ceremony at DC armory in Washington, July 30, 2026. The Change of Command ceremony symbolizes the formal transfer of responsibility, authority and accountability from one commanding officer to another. This longstanding military tradition reflects the continuity of leadership and ensures the seamless transition of command while reaffirming the unit's commitment to its mission, its personnel, and its core values.
