Community Support Requests

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 three basic areas:
Non-Aviation  |  Army Aviation  |  Air Force Aviation

The Ohio National Guard will make every effort to provide support for your event, but organizers should be aware that support may not be available due to military needs, and/or state or federal restrictions on how the Ohio National Guard is permitted to support organizations and events.

The Ohio National Guard Public Affairs Office processes support requests.
Please call 614-336-4499 should you have questions regarding your request.
