459th Airlift Squadron Changes Command

U.S. Air Force Col. Jun Oh, left, 374th Operations Group commander, hands a squadron guidon to Lt. Col. Samuel Shamburg, 459th Airlift Squadron commander, during a change of command ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Jan. 11, 2024. 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.
