A change-of-command ceremony is held in a hangar at Coast Guard Air Station/Sector Field Office Port Angeles, Washington, where Cmdr. Mark E. Hiigel relieved Capt. Andrew W. Eriks of his command, July 15, 2016. The change-of-command ceremony is a time-honored tradition, which ensures that all hands know of the shift in authority and that a duly authorized officer is placed in charge.
