Division Commander Change of Administration Guide

The Division Commander Change of Administration Guide contains recommendations for obtaining a smooth transition period for newly elected division commanders. It is the intent of this guide to suggest a schedule of activities that will help maximize the efficiency of these administrative transition periods. The Change of Watch ceremony is the symbolic representation of this change of administrative leadership at the Division level. The actual administrative transition requires more time, thought and planning. Most of these activities will be completed by the actual time the COW ceremony is held.

The Division Commander Change of Administration Guide is broken down into two areas:

• Responsibilities of the DCDR elect before taking office
• Responsibilities of the DCDR elect upon taking office
