U.S. Air Force Col. Daniel Mendoza, 374th Airlift Wing commander, renders his first salute to the 374 AW during the change of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, July 10, 2026. 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 ensuring continuity of leadership.
