374 AMXS Changes Command

Col. Philip Dorsch (left), 374th Maintenance Group commander, gives a squadron guidon to Maj. Michael Mauro (right), 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron commander, during a change of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, June 8, 2023. Mauro assumed command of the 374 AMXS from Lt. Col. Robert Leidel. 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.
