Eric Ponzek, commander of 2nd Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment, cases the battalion colors, or a rallying flag, during a deployment ceremony at Zembo Shrine Auditorium in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Dec. 17, 2023. The casing and furling of the colors formally signals that the unit is ready for their mission.
