About Us...
The Honor Guard is a very elite team and source of pride to the Armed Services. The purpose of the Honor Guard is to provide military funeral honors to all active duty, retired and veteran members. This is a very sensitive mission and requires the most distinctive and dedicated individuals. We also interact with the civilian community, providing our services during special ceremonies and functions. The Honor Guard is highly visible facet of the military and should be accepted as an honor to be a member.
 
Area of Responsibility 
MacDill AFB Honor Guard is responsible for a large geographic area throughout much of the West Coast of Florida. The team's area of responsibility includes the Tampa/St. Petersburg area, south to the Florida Keys, and north to Brooksville and Leesburg. The most frequently visited site is Florida National Cemetery, in Bushnell, FL.

Retirements
Retirement ceremonies for Chief Master Sergeant and Officers, Colonel and above. When manning permits, requests for Air Force members below the above listed grades, will be performed.

Honor Guard members will be excused from duty during base exercises to support funeral details and their Honor Guard details, when unit mission requirements allow, so as not to impede upon the Honor Guard mission of supporting military honors.
