From left, U.S. Space Force Lt. Gen. David N. Miller, Space Operations Command commander, Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Pfister, Mission Delta 3 senior enlisted leader, Col. Nicole Petrucci, outgoing MD3 commander, and Col. Angelo Fernandez, incoming MD3 commander, stand at attention while orders are being read at MD3’s Change of Command ceremony at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, Mar. 7, 2025. The change of command ceremony, a military tradition dating back to 18th-century Prussia under Frederick the Great, symbolizes the transfer of authority as the outgoing commander passes the unit’s flag—representing loyalty and trust—to their successor in front of the formation.
