WEBVTT 00:00.200 --> 00:02.089 Aloha and good morning ladies and 00:02.089 --> 00:04.256 gentlemen . Welcome to Hiccup Field in 00:04.256 --> 00:06.144 today's ceremony marking chain of 00:06.144 --> 00:08.819 command Peter 15:20 . He relinquished . 00:10.880 --> 00:13.158 I am Mr . Ray Bradley and I'll be here . 00:15.439 --> 00:17.550 Presiding officer for today's sermony 00:17.550 --> 00:19.828 is Lieutenant General Robert D . Davis , 00:19.828 --> 00:22.106 the commander of the Alaska NAD Region , 00:22.106 --> 00:24.272 Alaskan Command , and 11th Air Force . 00:24.280 --> 00:26.169 The change of command ceremony is 00:26.169 --> 00:28.336 rooted in military history dating back 00:28.336 --> 00:30.669 to the late 17th century . At that time , 00:31.309 --> 00:33.309 organizational flags were developed 00:33.309 --> 00:35.309 with color arrangements and symbols 00:35.309 --> 00:37.309 unique to each particular unit . To 00:37.309 --> 00:39.198 this flag and its commander , the 00:39.198 --> 00:41.365 members of a unit would dedicate their 00:41.365 --> 00:43.420 loyalty and trust . When a change of 00:43.420 --> 00:45.476 command was to take place , the flag 00:45.476 --> 00:45.180 was passed to the individual assuming 00:45.180 --> 00:47.790 command . This gesture was accomplished 00:47.790 --> 00:49.623 in front of the unit so that all 00:49.623 --> 00:51.568 members could see their new leader 00:51.568 --> 00:53.623 assuming the position of authority . 00:53.623 --> 00:55.790 Through this ceremony , the passing of 00:55.790 --> 00:58.012 the flag also symbolized the transition 00:58.012 --> 00:59.734 of the unit members' trust and 00:59.734 --> 00:59.630 allegiance to their newly appointed 00:59.630 --> 01:01.990 command . This symbolic tradition has 01:01.990 --> 01:04.157 survived throughout military history . 01:07.169 --> 01:08.947 Please join me in welcoming our 01:08.947 --> 01:10.836 distinguished guest and hold your 01:10.836 --> 01:12.780 applause until all names have been 01:12.780 --> 01:14.891 announced .

Thank you very much . So 13:36.219 --> 13:38.386 much work goes into planning , setting 13:38.386 --> 13:40.386 up , executing , and then having to 13:40.386 --> 13:42.497 clean up an outstanding ceremony like 13:42.497 --> 13:44.497 this . So from the maintainers that 13:44.497 --> 13:46.552 prepared those airplanes in front of 13:46.552 --> 13:48.960 you to this hangar , protocol 13:48.960 --> 13:51.030 professionals , musicians , singer , 13:51.359 --> 13:53.830 color guard , narrator , ushers , a 13:53.830 --> 13:56.400 whole host of volunteers , thank you 13:56.400 --> 13:58.011 for your professionalism and 13:58.011 --> 14:00.067 outstanding work . Let's give them a 14:00.067 --> 13:59.500 round of applause . 14:07.729 --> 14:09.896 Change command ceremonies are really , 14:09.896 --> 14:11.849 really important . They give us an 14:11.849 --> 14:13.960 opportunity to recognize the outgoing 14:13.960 --> 14:16.071 leader for the mark that they've made 14:16.071 --> 14:19.969 on the unit and its members . They also 14:20.440 --> 14:22.760 allow us to describe the really , 14:22.770 --> 14:24.714 really big shoes that the incoming 14:24.714 --> 14:27.469 commander has to fill . And the 14:27.469 --> 14:30.520 ceremony visibly marks the transfer of 14:30.520 --> 14:32.919 legal command authority and 14:32.919 --> 14:35.559 accountability from one commander to 14:35.559 --> 14:37.919 the next . It's a big day for the 15th 14:37.919 --> 14:40.479 Wing and a huge milestone for these two 14:40.479 --> 14:43.780 commanders . Nimmo's 2 years in command 14:43.780 --> 14:46.109 has been characterized by highly 14:46.109 --> 14:48.450 effective partnerships . 14:49.969 --> 14:53.390 Mission excellence . And total force 14:53.390 --> 14:56.619 teams that perpetually win . These 14:56.619 --> 14:58.341 characteristics are absolutely 14:58.341 --> 15:00.175 essential given the importance , 15:00.330 --> 15:02.880 strategic importance . Of this 15:02.880 --> 15:05.102 installation and the critical role that 15:05.102 --> 15:07.760 15th wing plays . In projecting air 15:07.760 --> 15:10.770 power across the Pacific . 15th Wing is 15:10.770 --> 15:13.530 at the crossroads crossroads of both 15:13.530 --> 15:15.729 homeland defense and deterring our 15:15.729 --> 15:17.896 potential adversaries in this region . 15:18.820 --> 15:20.764 If deterrence fails and we have to 15:20.764 --> 15:22.987 fight again in this theater , the speed 15:23.539 --> 15:25.780 and how fast we win will depend in 15:25.780 --> 15:28.059 large part on the effectiveness of 15th 15:28.059 --> 15:30.539 wing and this installation as a power 15:30.539 --> 15:33.979 projection platform . Thankfully for 15:33.979 --> 15:36.201 America , Nimmo has been on the job for 15:36.201 --> 15:37.840 the past 2 years . Building 15:37.840 --> 15:40.007 relationships with the local community 15:40.007 --> 15:42.062 and civic leaders , National Guard , 15:42.062 --> 15:44.284 Air Force reserves , Navy , and Captain 15:44.284 --> 15:46.618 Smokey White , the insulation commander . 15:47.609 --> 15:49.776 PACAF staff , US Coast Guard , so many 15:49.776 --> 15:51.998 other mission partners that it takes to 15:51.998 --> 15:53.942 get the job done here and Nemo has 15:53.942 --> 15:56.330 built those relationships . He's 15:56.330 --> 15:58.441 invested in Friends of Hickam , Wings 15:58.441 --> 16:00.663 of Aloha , honorary commander program . 16:01.059 --> 16:03.539 And many of you are representing those 16:03.539 --> 16:05.761 organizations that are here today , and 16:05.761 --> 16:07.706 I appreciate you being here . It's 16:07.706 --> 16:09.928 turned ideas into real connections that 16:09.928 --> 16:11.928 have made a difference . He's built 16:11.928 --> 16:14.710 trust with transparency , creating a 16:14.710 --> 16:17.830 powerful unity of effort . That has 16:17.830 --> 16:19.997 resulted in every organization meeting 16:19.997 --> 16:22.679 their objectives , not just his . He 16:22.679 --> 16:24.568 always leads from the front while 16:24.568 --> 16:26.710 developing and empowering the leaders 16:26.710 --> 16:28.766 that we see in front , his group and 16:28.766 --> 16:31.289 squadron leadership . To move out with 16:31.289 --> 16:34.789 speed and precision . And this type of 16:34.789 --> 16:36.845 excellent leadership is what we must 16:36.845 --> 16:38.845 have in order to win , and Nemo has 16:38.845 --> 16:41.011 done it better than I have ever seen . 16:44.159 --> 16:46.326 Nimmo , you and your command team have 16:46.326 --> 16:48.437 set the conditions for your airmen to 16:48.437 --> 16:50.659 dominate in every area of the mission . 16:51.700 --> 16:55.219 F-22 Air dominance and homeland defense , 16:55.679 --> 16:57.846 strategic airlift , global logistics , 16:57.846 --> 17:00.659 DV transport . Aeromedical evacuation , 17:01.039 --> 17:03.119 base defense , medical support for 17:03.119 --> 17:06.579 members and families . Air Force level 17:06.579 --> 17:08.912 exercises , infrastructure improvements , 17:08.912 --> 17:10.968 the list goes on and on and on . And 17:10.968 --> 17:12.849 your squadrons either did it or 17:13.310 --> 17:16.390 facilitated others doing all of that . 17:17.380 --> 17:19.158 And much , much more under your 17:19.158 --> 17:22.359 leadership . So job well done . I also 17:22.359 --> 17:25.060 know you had a secret weapon . Well , 17:25.180 --> 17:29.160 maybe not so secret . Carlin , your 17:29.160 --> 17:31.160 leadership and influence across the 17:31.160 --> 17:33.382 base and in the community is absolutely 17:33.382 --> 17:35.719 amazing . Every time Kathy and I have 17:35.719 --> 17:37.830 visited , we don't go more than about 17:37.830 --> 17:40.890 15 ft . Without you saying hi to 17:40.890 --> 17:42.834 somebody that you know that you've 17:42.834 --> 17:44.946 already built a connection with , and 17:44.946 --> 17:47.410 it's so amazing to see that .
