Russian term

Russian to English Other Military / Defense
I assume this is some flag awarding ceremony but I'm sure there is an appropriate term.

"В структуре Минобороны Туркменистана созданы новые воинские части, сообщили во вторник (10 января) гостелеканалы, показав кадры с церемонии вручения командованию новых подразделений боевых знамен.

В сообщениях не детализируется ни число новых военных формирований, ни к какому роду войск они относятся."

During the ceremony, some of the unit’s soldiers stood in formation. Toward the beginning, members of the 411th unfurled the unit’s flag.

It was then handed down the chain of command, from Brig. Gen. Ivan Neal Black, commanding general of the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, to Col. Howard C.W. Geck, group commander of the 652nd Regional Support Group. Geck then gave it to Lt. Col. Tuan A. Truong, the 411th Ordnance Battalion’s new commander.

a ceremony during which banners were presented to..

Since "церемонии вручения командованию новых подразделений боевых знамен" is not much of a term either, I would just give a descriptive translation.
For instance:
On Tuesday 10th, state media reported that new military units had been created within the Ministry of Defense and showed (footage from) a ceremony during which banners were presented to (the commanders of) the newly formed units.
