    A military change of command or activation ceremony is taking place in what appears to be a chapel or formal ceremony room on a U.S. Air Force installation. Two personnel in flight suits are exchanging a guidon (unit flag on a staff), while a third service member in camouflage uniform serves as the guidon bearer. This type of ceremony formally transfers command authority from one officer to another.
