Rangers led the way through the moss-draped oaks of Forsyth Park on Tuesday as members of the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment assembled in parade formation for a colorful change-of-command ceremony.
The Rangers honored their outgoing commander, Army Col. Bryan Lee Rudacille, and welcomed incoming commander Lt. Col. Brian Mennes.
The old Forsyth Park East Fort was a fitting backdrop for the Hunter Army Airfield-based Rangers, who continue the park's military tradition by conducting their battalion change-of-command ceremonies there.
Dignitaries and special guests were seated under tents, while passersby stood or sat on the grass as the battalion's colors were formally presented to the new commander.
Rudacille is on his way to classes at the U.S. Army War College before assuming command of a basic-training brigade at Fort Jackson near Columbia, S.C.
