1983-Present

The U.S. Army’s Distinguished Member of the Regiment (DMOR) program is governed by Army Regulation 600-82. Each regiment has appointed by the Secretary of the Army an Honorary Colonel of the Regiment (HCOR) and Honorary Sergeant Major of the Regiment (HSMOR) to administer the program. Their primary duty is to receive and vet nominations for Distinguished Member of the Regiment (DMOR) and Honorary Member of the Regiment (HMOR) on an annual basis. DMORs are individuals who have served with the regiment on Active Army or in the Army Reserve and who have distinguished themselves through their military service, civilian service, or other significant service rendered for the betterment of their community, state, or nation. The designation is bestowed on these individuals by the Secretary of the Army after a thorough vetting process by the HCOR, HSMOR, and the active-duty battalion commander designated to administer regimental responsibilities. HMORs are soldiers, their spouses, and other individuals who have made a significant contribution, or provided an important service, to the Regiment, but who have never been formally assigned members of the Regiment. One does not have to be an Association member to be eligible for this honor.

On behalf of the 500 members of the 16th Infantry Regiment Association, the Governing Board nominated two outstanding former Rangers for designation as Distinguished Members of the Regiment (DMOR) for 2022 by the Secretary of the Army. The nominees for 2022 are:

MAJ Dan Harrison – Afghanistan
