U.S. Air Force Guidon – NSN 8345-00-828-8385 and DAFI 90-1201 Protocol Standards

Official Air Force Guidons: Military Tradition and Regulation Standards

The United States Air Force Guidon represents the identity, heritage, and accomplishments of the squadron or military organization it serves. Used during military formations, change of command ceremonies, and official functions, the Air Force Guidon is an important symbol of military pride and tradition.

At DODGuidons.com, we recognize the importance of manufacturing Regulation Air Force Guidons using official military publications rather than relying on unofficial illustrations, internet photographs, or personal interpretations.

One important reference is Department of the Air Force Instruction (DAFI) 90-1201 – Protocol, which establishes guidance for military flags, guidons, ceremonial practices, and related procedures.

Why Military Regulations Matter

An Air Force Guidon is more than embroidered fabric. It represents the traditions, achievements, and identity of the Airmen who serve beneath it.

At DODGuidons.com, we believe official military publications—not unofficial online examples—should establish the standards for regulation guidons.

We Don't Write the Regulations. We Follow Them.
