BONSELL ONCE THE OFFICIAL PARTY IS IN PLACE – ALL STANDING SAYS:
THE CHANGE OF COMMAND CEREMONY IS A MILITARY TRADITION THAT IS RICH WITH SYMBOLISM AND HERITAGE DATING BACK TO MEDIEVAL TIMES. SOLDIERS OFTEN CARRIED STAFFS OR STANDARDS INTO BATTLE THAT IDENTIFIED THEM AS A UNIT. THROUGHOUT MILITARY HISTORY, UNIT COLORS HAVE MARKED THE POSITION OF THE COMMANDER ON THE BATTLEFIELD. IN MORE RECENT TIMES, THE COLORS REPRESENT NOT ONLY THE HERITAGE AND HISTORY OF THE UNIT, BUT ALSO THE UNITY AND LOYALTY OF ALL ITS MEMBERS, BOTH MILITARY AND CIVILIAN. THE COLORS ARE THE COMMANDER’S SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY, REPRESENTING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE PASSING OF THE COLORS REPRESENTS THE TRANSFER OF AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MISSION AND WELFARE OF THE ORGANIZATION FROM ONE COMMANDER TO ANOTHER.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CHANGE OF COMMAND CEREMONY GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF OUR NATION’S HISTORY AND PROVIDES FOR THE ORDERLY TRANSFER OF ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
THE PASSING OF THE COLORS IS A SYMBOLIC ACT, THROUGH WHICH THE OUTGOING COMMANDER RELINQUISHES AUTHORITY TO HIS SUPERIOR, WHO IN TURN PASSES THE AUTHORITY ON TO THE INCOMING COMMANDER.
