I know there's a CHAIN of command and CHANGE of command.
For chain of command, the unit CO, few officers, Chief WO, Specs
and men will run...
As for change of command, normally is a parade, speech, hand over
the symbol (what do you actually call that?) of command, taking the
oath and the SAF pledge. Most of the time, the formation (e.g. UNIT
CO) commander, e.g. Base commander will be present to witness the
whole thing.
If the change of command is for the commander of formation (e.g.
BASE commander), more senior officers will be present, might not be
the Chief Officer (like COA, CON, COA), but will be the rank of
Brigadial-General (BG / 1 star) or Rear-Admiral (Radm / 1
star).
