449th AEW Change of Command

The Air Force Change of Command is a ceremony that dates back to the 18th Century. Organizational flags were developed with color arrangements and symbols unique to each particular unit. When a change of command takes place, the flags are passed to the individual assuming command in the presence of the entire unit. For Col Keith Crawford and Col Shawn Cochran of the 449th Air Expeditionary Group, the time has come.
