U.S. Air Force Gen. Hawk Carlisle, left, commander of Air Combat Command, and Maj. Gen. Mark Kelly, right, incoming 9th Air Force commander, salute Maj. Gen. H. D. Polumbo Jr., center, the outgoing 9th Air Force commander, during the playing of “Ruffles and Flourishes” during the change of command ceremony at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. July 31, 2015. The senior officer is usually saluted, but Carlisle deferred to Polumbo in honor of Polumbo’s retirement, culminating a 34-year Air Force career.
