Drill team provides northern exposure for Air Force

  • Published
BOLLING AFB, D.C. (AFPN) --  The Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team recently returned from a two-week tour across three major installations in North and South Dakota representing all Airmen and showcasing Air Force precision to recruit, retain and inspire for the Air Force mission. 

The team spent time touring through the bases and local communities of Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D., Minot AFB, N.D., and Ellsworth AFB, S.D.

During the tour, the team performed for crowds of Airmen and their families at each base. 

Working with Air Force Recruiting Service, the team performed for the major high schools in each of the base's local communities, explaining Air Force opportunities to students at each school. 

The team also provided a set of special motivational performances for Airman Leadership School students at Grand Forks and Ellsworth AFBs, and also briefied the ALS Airmen about the opportunities to apply for special duty with the Air Force Honor Guard. 

During the final days of the tour, the team took part in a special photo session at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. The images are set to be released in a future Air Force art-poster series.
