(From left) Lt. Col. Matthew Davis, 21st Special Operations Squadron (SOS) commander, thanks both Col. Shawn Young, 353rd Special Operations Wing commander, Kadena Air Base, Japan, and Lt. Col. Tyler Oldham, 21st SOS outgoing commander, for their mentorship during the 21st SOS Change of Command Ceremony, Dec. 15, 2023, at Yokota Air Base, Japan. 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.
