34th CTS Change of Command
Lt. Col. Michael McKenna, 34th Combat Training Squadron commander, hugs a Team Little Rock member during the 34th CTS Change of Command Ceremony, June 3, 2024, at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas. 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.
