Rear Adm. Cari B. Thomas was relieved by Capt. William Kelly, as the commanding officer of U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Cape May during a military change of command ceremony on Wednesday at the training center’s parade field.
Rear Adm. Timothy Sullivan, commander, Force Readiness Command, presided over this time-honored naval tradition, which formally restates the continuity and authority of command and is unique in the world today. It involves the total transfer of responsibility, authority and accountability from one individual to another.
