Request Military Support Information
Please consult with the Community Relations Officer for guidance on requests for military support or tours. Call (913) 684-1724.
There are a number of state and Federal restrictions on how we can support organizations and events. However, all requests for military support are reviewed for consideration.
Deptartment of Defense (DoD) policy prohibits:
- Endorsing or appearing to endorse a specific organization, product, or commercial service.
- Using military resources when such assets are reasonably available from commercial sources and where such support would be, in fact, perceived as unfair competition.
- Using military resources and/or personnel to increase sales, business traffic, or attendance at an event.
- Using personnel outside military bases to act as guards, parking lot attendants, runners, messengers, baggage handlers, or for other menial tasks.
- Active-duty military participation in fund-raising activities, excluding the Combined Federal Campaign and military relief societies.
Please keep in mind that if your event occurs on a weekend or outside the normal duty day it could conflict with the off-duty time of our civilian and service members, and may be difficult to support.

- Volunteers
Fort Leavenworth does not have a central location or bulletin board for posting flyers and/or informational materials that are designed to recruit volunteers.
Ads may be purchased for placement in the official post newspaper through the local publisher. Call Kansas Media One at (913) 682-0305.
Service members actively volunteer on their off-duty time in a variety of charitable organizations, schools, and churches in their communities. Their participation, however, is strictly a personal choice and is not regulated by the DoD.
- Bands
Fort Leavenworth does not have a band. Visit http://www.bands.army.mil/bands to locate the nearest Army Band in your area.
- Aircraft Flyovers
There are no aerial support assets on Fort Leavenworth. There is currently a moratorium on Army flyovers. You may however, contact and inquire with our sister service organizations listed on the last page of the DoD Form 2535.

This list is not all inclusive -- there may be other activities we could support if requested.

Tours are only offered on a first-requested, first-served basis and may be cancelled on short notice due to mission requirements.
