Capt. Michael Platt, commanding officer of Coast Guard Air Station Miami, conducts a pass-and-review inspection of the troops with Capt. Shawn Koch, perspective commanding officer of the air station, Thursday, June 20, 2019 during a changer of command ceremony where Koch relieved Platt as commanding officer. The change-of-command ceremony is a time-honored tradition. It represents a total transfer of responsibility, authority and accountability from one individual to another. The event ensures the continuity of leadership and operations within the district's area of responsibility. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Lally
