October 27, 2021 - An informative look at the Honor Guard's
mission and training at Joint Base Andrews (JBA) in Maryland that
includes ... flag folds, colors, rifle teams, and other missions to
support military honors. The honor guard encompasses members from
several mission partner units and has an area of responsibility of
five different states across 55,000 square miles.
Joint Base Andrews,
best known for its special air mission ... the transportation of
senior government and military leaders, plays a dynamic and critical
part in the defense of our nation. It has evolved from the muddy
fields and wooden buildings of the 1940s supporting the P-47
Thunderbolt and F-80 Shooting Star, to a modern airfield supporting
multi-million dollar nationally significant mission assets including
Air Force One, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the KC-135 Stratotanker,
and the UH-1N Huey, solidifying itself as "America's Airfield."
