Honor Guard Training

I heard that you recently connected with Melbourne High School. I passed on our history and informed them that you are the Honor Guard DrillMaster.

Great book. I am a commander for a newly formed Honor Guard for my Fire Dept. in NJ, and this book is helping us out greatly.

DrillMaster Honor Guard Training is the only honor guard training based on an established standard: the only published book for honor guard training,
The Honor Guard Manual

The Honor Guard Manual

Honor Guard Training at its Best
Honor guard units need to have a training program that has a solid foundation. This manual helps establish that, or gives you an added boost to your program. The Honor Guard Manual comes in several versions. This is the only complete honor guard manual available.

What does the manual contain? In a word, everything. For example:

Standing Manual
Manual of Arms (rifle: M1, M14, M1903)
Manual of the Firefighter’s Ceremonial Pike Pole
Manual of the Firefighter’s Ceremonial Fire Axe
Manual of the Flagstaff, Guidon and Bugle
Complete funeral information: Pall Bearer, Firing Party, Caisson, Casket Watch and Colors Procedures
Armed Cordon
POW/MIA Hat Table
Fallen Warrior Stand Diagram and Ceremony Procedures
A Complete Master Task Listing, Master Training Plan and Training Documentation File

Plus much more…

Thank you for the fine manual. Our FD Honor Guard trains and performs details with the USAF (ANG) here in Bangor Maine. The manual hit our procedures on the nose.

I work for Amarillo Medical Service in Amarillo, TX. We are starting an Honor Guard and I am looking for information on training and basically everything involved with presenting a great Honor Guard for the EMS personal in the TX panhandle.

I didn’t see anything on how to get a manual from your organization. You have my email address, please let me know how to get a manual.

Thank you for your time!

  Hello Greg,
  
  Thanks for stopping by and inquiring about The Honor Guard Manual. How silly that I did not put a link on the page! I just edited the page with two links. One is in the text at the top for the paperback, spiral bound version and one is the manual’s cover image which is linked to the hard bound version.
  
  Good luck to your team and let me know if I can help further!

I’m looking at updating our PD’s flags. Our new Honor Guard would like to purchase an American flag a Texas flag, poles for each and bases. What do you recommend?
