Casing ceremony
Airman 1st Class Michael Jordan, 564th Missile Squadron chef and the youngest member of the squadron, and Col. David Durgan, 341st Operations Group commander, hold the guidon while Lt. Col. Wayne Shaw, 564th MS commander, cases it during a ceremony to inactivate the squadron Aug. 15. The casing of a unit's guidon is a solemn act, steeped in military tradition. The unit's colors are furled for final time time and covered to signify the inactivation of the unit as well as the successful completion of its nuclear deterrent mission.
