HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- The 49th Wing honored the 2022 commanders emeritus and honorary commanders during an induction ceremony here, April 22, 2022.
The honorary commander program establishes and maintains personal relationships with local civic leaders and aids in increasing public awareness of the missions, policies and programs of the Department of Defense and the United States Air Force.
The honorary commander program both educates vital community leaders about their assigned unit’s essential mission and fosters supportive relationships with the community; increasing military involvement in civic endeavors and organizations.
The designation of commander emeritus is the highest honor the 49th Wing can present to a civilian civic leader. This distinction honors former honorary commanders who have served a minimum of 15 years and allows them to continue serving the local military community.
