Community Relations

The Indiana National Guard Community Relations program works hard to support events across the state that help bring Hoosiers closer to the military personnel who serve in their communities. We welcome the opportunity to make these connections, and are pleased to offer resources for the public to request a military band, funeral honors, marching units, static displays or speakers. All of the events we participate in must be nonpartisan, open and accessible to the public, and may not raise funds for any purpose. Our support is based on our mission requirements and the availability of our resources.

Eligibility

Organizations eligible for military support include:

  • Federal, state and local governments
  • Approved non-federal entities in accordance with joint ethics regulations
  • Certain private (nonprofit) institutions when the activity concerned is conducted for the betterment of the community and does not selectively benefit any one individual or organization

Prohibitions

  • Federal law and military regulations prohibit military agencies from competing with services available from commercial sources in the private sector.
  • Use of government equipment and/or personnel in support of a private enterprise, whether profit or non-profit, or for promotional events of a select organization’s commercial activity or concern, is strictly prohibited by regulation.

Regulation

For more information about eligibility and prohibitions, please read the following regulation:

Military Funeral Honors

Honoring Those Who Served is our commitment to recognize the sacrifice and contributions of our nation’s veterans. The rendering of military funeral honors is one of the ways to show the nation’s deep gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country. The ceremonial playing of Taps, the folding of the American flag and presenting it to the next-of-kin are the final demonstrations that a grateful nation can provide to veterans’ families.
