Honor Guard - Columbus AFB

The overall Congressionally-mandated mission of the Columbus AFB HG program is to provide 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 Columbus AFB HG will support this mission by providing the ceremonial support in our area of responsibility, which includes 74 counties in Mississippi and Tennessee.  In addition, the Honor Guard supports a wide variety of base and community functions including, but not limited to, change of commands, retirement ceremonies, community parades, special dinners, and formal retreats.
