Lt. Col. Christopher Escajeda, 943d Rescue Group commander, and Maj. Caleb Scherrer, 306th Rescue Squadron commander, pose with the 306th RQS guidon during an assumption of command ceremony 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.
