Ohio National Guard Support to organizations and special events

PLEASE NOTE: As a result of federal government financial constraints, the U.S. Air Force has canceled all flyovers, orientation flights and participation in all air shows for the remainder of the fiscal year (through Sept. 30, 2013).

The Ohio National Guard is a proud member of communities throughout Ohio in which our Soldiers and Airmen serve. Through an active community relations program, the Ohio National Guard demonstrates it is a good neighbor and community partner by providing support in four basic areas: Non-Aviation, Military Aerial, Air Force Fly Overs, and Speaker Requests. (see outline below)

Note that most support requests require a minimum of 90 days prior to the event (unless stated specifically) to be reviewed, validated and considered for support. Requests received fewer than 90 days are unlikely to receive support.

The Ohio National Guard will make every effort to provide support for all events, but event organizers should be aware that support may not be available for military mission requirements may prevent the Ohio National Guard from supporting specific events and that there are a number of state and federal restrictions on how the Ohio National Guard can support organizations and events.

The Ohio National Guard Public Affairs Office receives, reviews, and validates all support requests for their legal propriety.
