Color Guard

The Arkansas National Guard Public Affairs Office is the point of contact for requesting color guard.
The color guard is a four-person formation of National Guard soldiers in appropriate military uniform. 
They act as a Color guard, posting and retiring the flag and rendering to it the proper customs and courtesies. 
This time-honored traditional detail adds dignity to any military-related activity while showing respect to our nation and those who have served it.

DD Form 2536 (Request for Armed Forces Participation in Public Events).

Arkansas National Guard Aerial Support Requests

In order to request an aircraft flyover or aircraft static display, you must thoroughly complete a DD Form 2535.

The Arkansas Army National Guard operates UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopters and UH-72 Lakota Helicopters.
The Arkansas Air National Guard operates C-130 Aircraft. 
We do not have any other aircraft available for aerial support. 

The form must be:
Completed and signed by the sponsoring organization
Certified (and signed) by the event site owner
Approved by the local Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)
Submit the form per the instructions below

Requests should be completed, signed, approved by the FAA and submitted per the instructions below at least 90 days in advance of the event. Incomplete forms and requests will not be considered. The Air Force and Army determine whether the event is eligible for support.

FAA coordination is required prior to submission

FAA approval must be obtained for all U.S. aerial events except aircraft static displays before submitting your request. Please contact the Regional FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) in Little Rock, AR,  at 501-918-4400 or 7-asw-lit-fsdo@faa.gov to complete this step.

DO NOT SUBMIT A FLYOVER REQUEST IF "SEC. IV FAA COORDINATION" ON THE DD2535 HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED BY THE FSDO.

Submitting your request

Requests for Air National Guard assets should be submitted directly to the Air Force via Air Force Aerial Events (http://www.airshows.pa.hq.af.mil/).

Requests for Army National Guard assets should be submitted to the Arkansas National Guard State Public Affairs Office at ng.ar.ararng.mbx.daily-guard@army.mil or by calling 501-212-5098.

Requests should be submitted at least 90 days prior to the scheduled event.

Securing aviation assets after receiving approval
It is the requestor's responsibility to coordinate actual participation of National Guard flying units once your event has been determined eligible for support. Please contact your State Public Affairs Office to determine whether units are available to support your event after your event has been approved.

Things to keep in mind
Aircraft participation is at no additional cost to the U.S. Government and on a non-interference basis with Department of Defense missions. Therefore, military contingencies and training requirements may preclude event participation at the last minute.
Additionally, patriotic events that are free and open to the public and those events designed to enhance Armed Forces recruiting and retention efforts have a higher likelihood of being approved by the Department of Defense. If your event falls within both or either of these categories please state so on your DD Form 2535 with a detailed explanation.

Aviation support or participation may be cancelled by the U.S. Government at anytime without notice.
