Honor Guard
The overall primary mission of the Davis-Monthan AFB Honor Guard program is to provide congressionally mandated military funeral honors (MFHs) for our nation’s fallen service members. We must ensure that, upon request, a funeral honors detail is provided for all eligible service members. The Davis-Monthan AFB Honor Guard will support this mission by providing the ceremonial support in our area of responsibility, which includes 8 counties in Arizona covering 49,602 square miles.
In addition, the Honor Guard supports a wide variety of base and community functions including, but not limited to, change of commands, retirement ceremonies, Induction ceremonies, community events and parades.
