Community Relations
"Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed." - Abraham Lincoln
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst offers many programs designed to enhance relations with the local community. Base tours are offered to small groups and orientation flights are available for eligible parties. Requests for military speakers can be submitted through the Speaker's Bureau program and Honor Guard requests for public events can be submitted through public affairs. Requests for aerial flyovers and static displays are handled through the Department of the Air Force; once approved, requests can be sent to the Joint Base Public Affairs Office.
