I. WELCOME TO THE JOINT SERVICE HONORS COMMAND
A. We would like to take this opportunity to formally welcome
you to our ranks as a member of our organization and extend to you the hand of friendship and comradeship. We value our members highly and feel that we are truly united in purpose and mission.
B. This manual is designed to assist all new members to obtain
knowledge of our organization, policies and practices so that you may more quickly assimilate as an active participating member in our ranks.
C. We will always endeavor to assist you in any way possible to
promote your active participation. We trust that all of us truly believe in what we are doing and have a strong desire to serve the families of veterans who honorably served in the armed forces of the United States.
II. PURPOSE AND MISSION
A. Hundreds of veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces die each day nationwide. Although there are several organizations as well as active duty units and national guard which provide military honors for veterans, there is not nearly enough of these available to insure that every veteran who served has the opportunity to have full military honors provided at funeral and memorial services. Although we provide these honors in behalf of the deceased veteran, it is the families we serve. All veterans who have served their country honorably are authorized and deserve to have full military honors. It is our goal to see that these honors are provided.
JSHC Orientation Manuel Page 3
B. The Joint Service Honors Command is composed of military
retirees and former members of every branch of service of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Joint Service Honors Command are disciplined, trained, loyal uniformed volunteers who stand ready to serve our area.
C. Our primary mission requires highly trained individuals in
color guard and honor guard ceremonies. Our funeral and memorial honor guard is composed of salute riflemen, a bugler, a flag folding team, a flag and spent shell case presenter, a team commander, a chaplain and bagpiper when requested, and an over-all commander. We also act as pallbearers when needed. Our color guard is composed of several flag carriers and a color guard commander.
D. All of these duties require preparation and a good deal of
training. Much of this training is accomplished at our monthly drill meetings to which all members are asked to attend. The monthly drills are normally held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Clovis Veterans Facility at 4th and Hughes in Clovis, CA and run from 1900 to 2100 hrs. We also practice at services when time permits.
E. All personnel serving in any public capacity must present a professional military bearing and be clean and well groomed with the proper uniform in good and clean condition. At these services we have only one chance to do it right. The highly charged emotional aspect of these services requires absolute perfection.
III. ORGANIZATION, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
A. The Joint Service Honors Command is a designated 501 (c ) (3) non-profit corporation. It is governed by a seven member board of directors who come from our ranks, pursuant to the legally adopted and approved by-laws of the corporation. Elections are held each year and board members are determined by a vote of the active members of JSHC in good standing. A portion of the board of director positions are up for election each year in January, and either
JSHC Orientation Manuel Page 4
4 or 3 are elected in alternate years. To be eligible to be elected to the board, a person must have completed at least one year of service and have attended at least 9 drill meetings within that year. Each elected board member serves for a term of 2 years. We are all volunteers and receive no compensation or reimbursement of any kind. Your reward is the pride and satisfaction you gain from doing your part to render military honors to fellow Americans who gave unselfishly for the benefit of this nation.
B. Members serve as long as they feel the need to do so and there is no specific time period designated for service.
C. Members who are retired military or who served in a branch
of service are encouraged to wear that uniform. Accepted members who have not served in the military will wear a uniform designated by the commanding general (usually the army uniform or the JSHC uniform).
D. When entering service with JSHC, each member is
appointed to either NCO or commissioned officer rank. This included enlisted ranks from E-4 to E-9 and commissioned officer ranks as determined by the appointing officer. Often a former service member will be appointed to a grade higher than that last served on active duty.
E. Obtaining uniforms is the responsibility of the member.
Normally a member must obtain a dress uniform in order to perform at a service and a class B uniform for drill. Assistance is given to help new members or existing members obtain uniforms for the lowest cost possible.
IV. UNIFORMS AND INSIGNIA Uniform Directive
A. Scope: this directive applies to all members of the Joint Service Honors Command.
B. Purpose: As a “Military Society”, Dept. of Defense prescribes that we must clearly indicate that we are such
JSHC Orientation Manuel Page 5
and separate from the actual military branch we represent. We are in compliance as long as we define our organization in a manner making it obvious that we are members of the Joint Service Honors Command.
C. General:
1. While we need to comply with the purpose
outlined in paragraph B above, we are authorized to wear the military branch uniform we represent. Our official endorsement comes from Dept. of Defense Directive 1300-15.
2. Families or deceased veterans expect us to wear the proper uniform for any specific branch of service. Modifications that detract from this are unacceptable and detract from the dignity of the ceremonies we conduct.
3. No unauthorized emblems, patches, pins or other materials are to be worn on the uniform.
4. The wearing of the uniform is justified only when performing official duties outlined in our mission and purpose statement. Examples of this would be the conduct of interment rites, recruiting, or ceremonies directed by command staff of the JSHC.
D. Branches: Military branches of the JSHC are: U.S.
Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard. Allied military personnel (ie. Canadian, Scottish bagpipers etc.) are accepted into our ranks as is the case with the various military services. These individuals are encouraged to wear the uniform of the nation they represent. All members are to wear the uniform of the service in which they served. Those who have no prior service shall wear the uniform of the U.S. Army or the JSHC.
JSHC Orientation Manuel Page 6
E. Insignia: In The JSHC, we wear distinctive insignia which brings us into compliance with DOD Directive 1300-15. The initial allotment of insignia or award is issued free of charge to all new members of JSHC according to their branch of service. Subsequent items of insignia and awards after the initial allotment of insignia or initial award, may be purchased from JSHC at our cost.
F. On The following pages are illustrations of uniforms
from the various branches of service showing the location of JSHC insignia and JSHC awards on the uniforms.
G. Due to the summer heat experienced in the central
valley we often remove our uniform coats and jackets when temperatures exceed 85 degrees at the time of the service. This means that we perform in summer uniform without jackets. For this reason it is recommended that members have a second set of ribbons and insignia on the shirt.
V. Awards & Promotions: A. Various awards in the form of ribbons and badges are
awarded to deserving members of JSHC. The illustrations of those ribbons and badges along with the criteria for the awards are also shown on subsequent pages.
B. Promotions beyond the initial rank assigned by the
appointing authority upon entry into Joint Service Honors Command are given basically to individuals who assume positions of responsibility commensurate with a specific rank according to the needs of JSHC.
VI. TRAINING: Monthly training is held on the third Wednesday of each month usually at the Clovis Veterans District building at 4th and Hughes in Clovis, CA. It is held from 1900 to 2100 hours. Uniform for training and drill is Class B or BDU’s etc. We hope to produce two new training videos in the near future, one for folding of the flag and one for the manual of arms and rifle team procedure.
