Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Air Force’s 11th Operations Group hosted Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Commander, U.S. Navy Capt. Frank Mays for an immersion tour designed to thoroughly familiarize him with the elite U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and U.S. Air Force Band, both of which are based at JBAB.

Following a full morning of demonstrations by both units on Sept. 30, Mays said, “The dedication, professionalism, and teamwork that I saw from both the Air Force Band and Honor Guard was inspiring. It made me rededicate my efforts to the mission and to our overall cause, and to also get that across to my staff. I’ve told my staff that these immersions are going to be available in the next six months to a year and that they should avail themselves upon it and I’m hoping it will do the same for them as it did for me.”
