Jonathan Tucker (right), outgoing 314th Airlift Wing commander, stand at attention during the 314th AW Change of Command Ceremony, June 28, 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.
