Requesting National Guard Support for Community Events
The Public Affairs Office is the Adjutant General's Department's point of contact for community requests for the state of Kansas only. We can not assist with requests for other states.
Please submit requests for military fly-overs, static displays, cannon salutes, color guards, speakers, and similar support from the Kansas National Guard in writing, either by mail or email. Please include as much detail as possible, including the date needed, type of request, organization name, type of event, and a point of contact. These requests require approval from the Department of Defense.
Please allow a minimum of 90 days in advance of the event. See how the Kansas National Guard can Support your Future Event.
