U.S. Air Force Col. John Klein, 60th Air Mobility Wing commander, pins a decoration on Col. Christopher V. Maddox, 60th Operations Group commander, during the 60th OG Change of Command Ceremony at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., Jul 7, 2017. The 60th Operations Group is responsible for daily air operations of the largest air mobility wing in the United States Air Force. With more than 1,000 personnel and $10 billion in assets, the group is tasked with operating 18 C-5M Super Galaxys, 13 C-17 Globemasters, and 27 KC-10 Extender aircraft on worldwide mobility and air refueling missions. In addition, the 60 OG manages all mission support activities, to include an operations support squadron providing air traffic control, weather, intelligence, flight management support, aircrew flight equipment, and KC-10 initial qualification and upgrade training. The ceremony rooted in military history dating back to the 18th Century where the command flag is passed to the individual assuming command in the presence of the entire unit.
