Robert E. Livingston, Jr., the outgoing adjutant general, and welcoming U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Van McCarty, as the incoming adjutant general, signifying McCarty taking command over the South Carolina Military Department.The change of command ceremony is an event built on tradition, symbolism, and heritage. The key to the ceremony is the passing of the colors, which is a symbol of authority, representing his/her responsibilities to the organization. The passing of the colors symbolizes the transfer of authority from the outgoing commander to the incoming commander. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Capt.
