Harbaugh named honorary commander

Susan Harbaugh

Scott Air Force Base’s 375th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs has announced that Team Scott has selected 20 community leaders from the St. Louis metropolitan region to join its 2027 Class of Honorary Commanders.

Selected for the class is Red Bud Mayor Susan Harbaugh.

The honorary commander program provides a two-year, in-depth orientation to the missions, programs, and assets of Scott Air Force Base. It aims to educate and increase community leaders’ knowledge and understanding of the military and the installation. The program matches each honorary commander with a military counterpart to build one-on-one rapport and facilitate direct engagement with base units.
