Honor Guard
The Keesler Air Force Base Honor Guard is trained to provide military honors with precision, professionalism, and pride, striving to exceed even our own rigorous Air Force standards by demonstrating the highest level of commitment while representing the United States Air Force and Keesler Air Force Base.
We provide honors for other ceremonies attended by the general public such as Change of Command, retirements, and parades.

GUIDELINES FOR OFF-BASE EVENT REQUESTS
- Provide at least 30 days' notice.
- Please remember that the honor guard's primary function is to support funerals. Your request could be canceled due to a sudden change in mission requirements.
- Requests are balanced against several factors - does it support the Air Force, does it project the proper image, is it open to the public, and how many people will attend.
SPECIAL EVENTS AND RETIREMENT CEREMONIES
When not performing funeral honors, the Keesler Honor Guard Team is available to post colors or perform the flag folding ceremony for most special events and retirements on base. The flag-folding ceremony can only be performed using the approved Air Force script. Your request should include the name, date and time of the event, point of contact, telephone numbers, and the service you would like provided. If you have any questions, please call 228.377.1985/0795 or email
