Unique ceremony in Hawaii marked by semaphore signal flags

A unique ceremony marked the change of command for a Hawaii based unit.

Part of the ceremony for the 311th signal command was conducted silently with semaphore signal flags.

The flag signaling system was invented during the Civil War.

Brigadier General William Scott is being replaced by Brigadier General James Walton.

The 311th builds, operates and defends Army and Joint-operation communications systems throughout the Pacific region.
