A "Change of Command" is a formal ceremony in military and organizational settings where one leader officially hands over their responsibilities to another. This event symbolizes the transfer of authority and is often marked by speeches, the passing of flags, and the presence of fellow officers and personnel.
During the ceremony, the outgoing leader, often referred to as the incoming commander, acknowledges their achievements and expresses gratitude to their team. The incoming commander then outlines their vision and goals for the future, reinforcing unity and commitment among the members of the unit or organization.
