The outgoing leader is responsible for planning the change of command event. The outgoing leader will coordinate with the incoming leader for details surrounding the change of command. The outgoing commander should prepare materials to leave for the incomming commander related to personnel, mission, and history of the unit.
The change of command ceremony always includes the formal transfer of authority and responsibility from one commanding officer to another. It typically features the reading of orders, speeches from both the outgoing and incoming commanders, and the passing of the unit's colors, symbolizing the continuity of leadership. This ceremony serves to honor the outgoing leader's service and to welcome the new commander, reinforcing unit cohesion and morale.

This is followed by the outgoing unit's final briefings, where they share critical operational information and lessons learned. The ceremony symbolizes the transition of command and acknowledgment of the outgoing unit's service.
