Ohio University Army ROTC cadets gathered on Jan. 20 for their Change of Command ceremony. Maj. Darrell Fawley, professor of military science, facilitated the ceremony marking the transfer of command from outgoing Cadet Battalion Commander Jahmir King to incoming commander Cadet Abby Ludwig.
The Change of Command ceremony is an important Army tradition featuring the passing of a unit’s guidon, the military standard that each battalion carries to signify their unit and affiliation.
A senior global studies major from Portsmouth, Ohio, King served as the battalion’s commander for Fall Semester 2020. Fawley thanked King for his outstanding leadership in the face of adversity.
