High Frontier Honor Guard

The High Frontier Honor Guard is the official United States Air Force ceremonial unit assigned to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is the de facto official honor guard unit for the Air Force Space Command (known as the United States Space Force). It renders honors to local officials and veterans during ceremonies and parades. In conducting its duties, it has an area of responsibility that consists of the most counties in Colorado and 8 in the western part of neighboring Kansas.[1][2] Outside of Peterson AFB, it also recruits airman from Schriever Air Force Base[3][4] at the request of their unit leadership.[5] Bugles Across America is partnered with the honor guard to ensure a live bugler is present at events.[6]

Creed

The creed is as follows:[4]

I am a member of the United States Air Force High Frontier Honor Guard. I represent an elite team of dedicated men and women charged to honor our nation, its flag and those who have served our nation well. As a member of this team, I will strive to excel while performing my duty. I will dedicate myself toward principles of honor, integrity, commitment and dedication – the foundation on which this unit stands. I realize that only through hard work and training will I achieve distinction. I am unique – second to none – best of the best and above the rest.
