The staff at Coast Guard Sector Key West conducted a change of command ceremony Friday on base at Sector Key West. During the ceremony, Captain Jeffrey Janszen transferred command of Coast Guard Sector Key West to Captain Francisco Rego.
The Change of Command Ceremony is a time-honored tradition, which formally restates to the officers and crew of the command, the continuity of authority vested in the Commanding Officer. The Change of Command of a military activity is a unique ritual representing a total transfer of responsibilities, authority, and accountability from one individual to another.
