Welch receives command of 19th Operations Group
Col. Joshua Imme, 19th Airlift Wing deputy commander, shakes hands with Col. Christopher Welch, incoming 19th Operations Group commander, during the 19th OG Change of Command Ceremony, June 26, 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.
