The Indiana Air National Guard works diligently to be a good neighbor and community partner. As a community-based organization, the 122nd Fighter Wing and its airmen are extensively involved in local community organizations and often participate in, or support, the events they sponsor.  

To request 122nd Fighter Wing to participate in or support your organizations special event with volunteers, a completed DD Form 2536 (Request for Armed Forces Participation in Public Events) should be sent to 122.FW.FW.PA.Org@us.af.mil at least 30 days prior to the event.

A Public Affairs representative will review and validate the legal propriety of all public requests, and then put out a call across the organization for volunteers. Volunteers are not typically provided in an "official" capacity. The Air National Guard, as a government institution, refrains from endorsing specific organizations or events that it does not officially sponsor. Instead, it is up to the individual Guard members to decide whether they volunteer their time. Additionally, there are a number of state and federal restrictions on how we can support organizations and events.
