How CMP Supports Veteran Organizations

CMP Ceremonial Rifle Program

The CMP proudly supports the U.S. Army’s TACOM Life Cycle Management Command’s Static Display and Ceremonial Rifle program by providing M1 Garand rifles to eligible organizations for ceremonial purposes, at no cost to the government. 

Through the program, CMP armorers assemble, inspect, test fire, repair, and ship ceremonial M1 Garand rifles for TACOM at no charge. The CMP has been referring volunteers to inspect and repair ceremonial rifles at veteran organizations, when feasible, since 2003. 

The CMP is also the organization designated by the U.S. Government with providing ceremonial weapon support to law enforcement, civilian and veteran service organizations, and national cemeteries furnished with M1 Garand Rifles. 

The CMP has established the following email where questions related to ceremonial rifle inspection, repair, and repair parts can be submitted: [email protected]
