I went to the Havoc troop change of command ceremony a few months back
and it was not at all decked out like it was for the squadron commanding officer change of command that happened yesterday. The
173rd Airborne brigade commander was there to speak, their was a band,
and caterers for the reception buffet. I also took a video of 'The
passing of the colors' which is a ritual in the US Army for when the
commander gives his command to the new commander. The former first lady
(Commanders wife) was given red roses and the new first lady (incoming
commanders wife) was given yellow carnations.
