Mission

The Utah National Guard’s intent is to support all legal events that comply with Department of Defense regulation and policy to the best of our ability within the constraints of available resources.

Community Support Resources

It is best to request support early! Most support comes from our part-time Soldiers and Airmen.

Submit the appropriate form online before your event.

Requests are approved depending on time of submission, availability of resources, and appropriate support as defined by the Department of Defense.

After your event please e-mail us a follow-up letter with the total attendance at your event and any feedback you have on the support that was provided, to include the handling and processing of your request. Thank you.

    Funeral Honors

    On January 1, 2000, Military Funeral Honors became a statutory benefit to all veterans with the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act. The law requires that, upon a family's request, every eligible veteran receive a military funeral honors ceremony to include a two-person detail for the sounding of Taps, folding and presenting the flag.

    Funeral honors are provided to demonstrate the military and the nation’s deep gratitude for honorable service.

    The Utah Army National Guard has a small full-time Honor Guard to support Army funerals. If this is in support of an Army Soldier, send the completed form to: [email protected].

    For other military services, please contact the service representative.
