A recent DoD article highlights a previously noted tradition of transferring the stole worn by some chaplains to his incoming replacement.  The ceremony is conducted much like the more familiar change of command:

Transferring the stole – a long, plain, black cloth worn around the neck – is similar to a command’s leadership passing the unit’s guidon during a change of command ceremony.

“The changing of the stole symbolizes the transference of spiritual leadership and responsibility from one chaplain to the other,” said Chap. (Lt. Col.) Randy Edwards, out-going Division West chaplain. “It signifies God’s hand on this position.”

In this case, commanding General MajGen Perry Wiggins hosted the ceremony at Fort Hood.
