17th SOS Change of Command

U.S. Air Force Col. Benjamin Maitre, 353rd Special Operations Group commander, passes the guidon to Lt. Col. Nathan T. Colunga, 17th Special Operations Squadron commander, during the 17th SOS change of command on Kadena Air Base, Japan, June 17, 2014. The passing of the guidon is the exact moment that the new commander officially takes responsibility of the new unit. The 17th SOS employs MC-130P aircraft and highly trained, agile Air Commandos to rapidly execute and support special operations missions with precise and reliable navigation, airdrop into austere landings, and provide multi-mission refueling to achieve combatant commander objectives.
