    A military change of command ceremony is taking place in what appears to be a hangar or assembly hall decorated with blue and white stripes and a large American flag banner. Three personnel in flight suits are participating in the central guidon/flag passing ritual on a stage, while a fourth officer stands at attention to the right. An audience of military personnel and civilians observes the ceremony from the foreground.

    U.S. Air Force Col. Grant Brown, incoming Operations Group commander, receives the guidon from Col. Nathan Aysta, 148th Fighter Wing Commander, during a change of command ceremony at the 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth, Minnesota, July 31, 2026. Change of command ceremonies are a long-standing military tradition that formally transfer authority and responsibility for a squadron, group, or wing from one commanding officer to another, recognizing the outgoing commander and welcoming the incoming one.

A speaker in a flight suit addresses a large audience of uniformed military personnel seated in rows of chairs. A large American flag is prominently displayed on the wall, and a projection screen shows the Minnesota National Guard emblem.

    A military officer in olive green flight suit stands at a wooden podium during what appears to be a formal ceremony, holding a document and smiling. Three flags are visible behind him — the United States flag, a light blue flag (likely US Air Force), and a dark blue flag with a star (possibly a general officer's flag). The setting appears to be inside a military hangar or facility decorated for an official event.
