History and role of the Honor Guard
The Concept of the US Forest Service "Honor Guard" first surfaced in 1998, and launched in 1999.
Several employees came together and designed the program and uniform from scratch. When designing the uniform, emphasis was placed on
representing the various aspects of who we are. The uniform represents new and old, green represents the new, and the "Ike" jacket follows the old
traditional uniform from days past. The campaign hat was chosen for its significance with the "friendly forest" and America's favorite bear, Smokey
Bear. The Honor Guard represents the agency in several roles; memorial and funerals, parades & ceremonies and special events with fire prevention theme.
