DD Form 2535 PDF Details

DD Form 2535 is the official Department of Defense request document for military aerial support at public events. Event organizers submit this application to coordinate flyovers, aerial demonstrations, and static displays by U.S. military units.

Before submitting your request, check the following requirements:

• The event must be open to all attendees with no discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.
• The venue must be accessible to people with disabilities.
• Organizers must confirm the event date, site location, and elevation in the application.
• A post-event report is required after military support takes place.
• Certain aerial activities require prior coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The DoD evaluates each submission based on public law and policy guidelines. Events requiring aerial demonstration teams such as the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds need advance planning and management oversight. The DD 2535 serves as the base document for all official military support requests at civilian events.
