COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Welcome to Minot Air Force Base's Community Relations page. The objective of the community relations program is to increase public awareness and understanding of the Air Force mission. Through base tours, flyovers, speaking engagements, demonstrations, and more, we aim to provide support to surrounding communities and foster positive relationships.
