Honor Guard

What is an Honor Guard?

“Although Honor Guard units may be mistaken as “drill teams,” Honor Guardsmen are “Ambassadors for Civil Air Patrol.” It is their duty to assist in recruiting and retention, to assist in making this a drug-free universe by supporting the Drug Demand Reduction Program, to assist any ceremonies, to present the colors when the unit color guard is not available, and to assist in funerals when requested. To be part of the Unit Honor Guard, members must have high standards in appearance, education, conduct; an aptitude for ceremonial duty, professionalism; and the will to make a difference to the future of America.” - CAPP 52-8

Commitment and Responsibilities as a Member

If you choose to become a member of the Minnesota Wing Honor Guard, you are making the commitment to set your standard of conduct, discipline, and attention to detail to the highest level. You are expected to attend each practice and performance (unless excused by the Honor Guard Commander). To achieve the Honor Guard standard, you must be willing to devote several hours each week outside of the weekly practices to perfecting your drill and rifle movements.

How to Join the Honor Guard

  1. Start showing up to practices, they are every Sunday night at 1700 at the Anoka Composite Squadron Hangar
  2. Talk with the members, ask any questions, and learn as much as you can about the Honor Guard
  3. Begin looking through the Civil Air Patrol Unit Honor Guard Program Pamphlet (CAPP 52-8)
  4. If you like what you've seen, bring an unsigned CAPF 2A (available in the Downloads Section) and then you will officially be a member of the Minnesota Wing Honor Guard

Requirements to Earn the Honor Guard Cord

There are one of two ways in which you may earn the Honor Guard Cord:

  1. Memorize the Honor Guard Creed
  2. Pass a drill test which will be administered by an experienced member of the Honor Guard and participate regularily in practices and events.
