It was an uncommon opportunity for me to watch in person a U.S. Eighth Army Change of Command Ceremony, in 2024, in which Lt. Gen. (LTG) Willard M. Burleson, III, the longest-Korea-assigned (three-and-a-half years) outgoing 35th Commanding General relinquished command to Lt. Gen. Christopher C. LaNeve, incoming 36th Commander on Arbor Day, April 5 in the morning at Barker Field, USAG Humphreys in Pyeongtaek. I was honored to watch the parade there per proxy of the Korea-America Association (KAA), cordially invited by Gen. Paul J. LaCamera, multinational Commander of U.S. Forces Korea, Combined Forces Command and U.N. Command.
