BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. –The 2nd Bomb Wing is soliciting leaders in the local community to serve as Honorary Commanders.
As an active community member, Barksdale AFB is committed to promoting and maintaining open and positive relations with our community. The Honorary Commanders Program fosters strong relationships and communication between base commanders and community leaders.
