Maj. Caleb Scherrer, 306th Rescue Squadron commander, renders his first salute to 306th RQS Airmen during an assumption of command ceremony on Jan. 8, 2023, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. The assumption of command is a long-standing military tradition which uses the passing of a guidon from one commanding officer to another, symbolizing a formal transfer of ownership and responsibility.
