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.

speaking engagements

We want to share the Air Force story by sending Airmen into the community to speak and engage at local events.

Military Affairs Committee luncheons

The Military Affairs Committee holds their monthly luncheon on the first Thursday of each month at alternating base and downtown locations. These meetings allow military and civilian partners to build connections and discuss important topics that affect both communities.


To find out more information about the MAC, please contact 5 BW/PA Community Relations at 701-723-6212.
