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] is partnered with the honor guard to ensure a live bugler is present at events.[6]

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.
