374th Surgical Operation Squadron Assumption of Command

Col. Brad Brough (left), 374th Medical Group commander, hands a squadron guidon to Lt. Col. Jaime F. Kelbaugh, signifying her appointment as the new commander of the 374th Surgical Operations Squadron, during an assumption of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, June 22, 2023. The assumption and change of command ceremonies are a tradition dating back to the Roman era, when military leaders would pass a baton, colors, standards, or ensigns that symbolized the passing of command to subordinates in attendance, ensuring unit members were never without official leadership or a continuation of trust.
