About

  • DMORs are individuals of the same distinguished stature as the HCOR but may include Active Army, USAR, retired officers, warrant officers, enlisted soldiers, and civilians.
  • An example of a DMOR would be a prior enlisted soldier of the regiment or corps recognized for his or her accomplishments, or a distinguished member of the civilian community with former service in the regiment or corps. All DMORs must have served in the regiment or corps.
  • DMORs are appointed to supplement and assist the efforts of the HCORs. Their tenure is indefinite. Unlike the solitary appointment of other honorary positions, there are no limitations on the number of personnel who may be appointed as DMORs
  • The duties of DMORs are ceremonial and do not conflict with those of the chain of command. Attendance at regimental or corps functions is by invitation and participation is encouraged.
  • The position offers the prestige, stature, and experience of the individual appointed as a DMOR.
  • Posthumous awards of the DMORs are permissible and are at the discretion of the regiment.
