HONOR GUARD

The 27th Special Operations Force Support Squadron manages the Cannon AFB Honor Guard program for the 27th Special Operations Wing Commander. ﷯These hand-picked professionals render military honors for deceased Air Force personnel during funeral services as well as perform details at military ceremonies, parades, opening ceremonies, and other appropriate community events attended by the general public. The Honor Guard supports 64,000 square miles in 34 counties throughout New Mexico and Texas. This elite group is always looking for new members to train with and join them.  The mission of the Cannon AFB Honor Guard is to represent every Airman by providing top-notch, professional military support to the base, local community, and surrounding areas with honor and dignity.
