Col. Mathew Gaetke, 51st Operations Group commander, left, passes the squadron guidon to Lt. Col. Cory Farrer, 36th Fighter Squadron incoming commander, as a symbol of his taking command of the 36th FS at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, June 30, 2022. The passing of the guidon from an outgoing commander to an incoming commander ensures the unit and its Airmen are never without leadership. It also signifies an allegiance from the unit’s members to their corresponding commander.
