Airman 1st Class Zach Odom, U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Firing Party, calls commands during a practice session Jan. 7 at the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard compound on Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C. The Firing Party performs the firing of three volleys at military funerals. These rifle teams, usually consisting of an odd number of three to seven members, fire three blank rounds in perfect unison to honor fallen service members. There are currently 60 Honor Guard members whose primary qualification is Firing Party, and teams perform at anywhere from 1,200-1,500 funerals a year.
