Retired Gen. Timothy M. Ray, former Air Force Global Strike Command commander, was recognized and honored with his own sword on May 11th, 2022, at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. The Order of the Sword is an honor awarded by non-commissioned officers of a command to recognize individuals they hold in high esteem and for their contributions to the enlisted corps. The ceremonial presentation was adopted from the Royal Order of the Sword from Sweden, in 1748. The tradition was passed to the United States during the Revolutionary War. However, it has laid dormant until it was reinstitute in its current form in 1967.
