Rules and Regulations

Like any standard CAP activity, there are rules that cadets are required to follow. But unlike normal CAP activities, the National Honor Guard Academy requires that all cadets exceed the standards in every area. Below are links to both the Rules of Conduct and the Rules of the Mess. Please be advised that failure to follow these rules may result in expulsion from the Academy. Remember: "Honor Guard - Not to set the standards, but to exceed them!"

Creeds

The Honor Guard has four different elements - Colors, Funeral, Ceremonial/Demonstration, and Drama Element.   As students learn about these elements, there are creeds they are compelled to memorize and follow.   Each student is required to memorize all three creeds before graduation from the Academy.
