313th Army Band

The primary mission of the Band is to provide music to enhance unit cohesion and morale, to musically support military operations, and to promote patriotism and enhance awareness of the Army through public performances. The primary mission is also to promote the morale and esprit de corps of the troops through military ceremonies, formal concerts, and entertainment, and to provide regional support for recruiting and support community relations programs through parades and concerts. In contingency operations, the primary mission is expanded to include musical support for civil affairs and psychological operations. Army Bands no longer have a secondary mission.
