The Protocol Office’s mission is to educate and assist members of the California National Guard in matters pertaining to military protocol and etiquette.
What is Protocol?
Protocol is prescribing code for strict adherence to correct precedence, courtesy and etiquette in matters of military, diplomatic, or official and celebratory ceremonies. More formally, it consists of the rules prescribing the etiquette accorded to ceremonies of state. In the military, it is the knowledge and application of established service customs.” The Protocol Office is here to offer staff advice and assistance in upholding those rules of military traditions.
Protocol Staff has created Protocol Support Forms available electronically on this website. If you need Protocol support such as invitations and programs for events, promotion coordination, change of command and activation ceremony, these forms will allow the Protocol Office staff better assist you. The website is https://portal.ca.ngb.army.mil/sites/es/default.aspx.
