Since 1991, it has been under the direct command of the Armed Forces General Staff, rather than the United Arab Emirates Army.
The band has participated in several international events in cities such as Cologne, Kuala Lumpur, and New Delhi.
When it is inside the country, the band usually accompanies the UAE Presidential Guard in official ceremonies such as the visit of foreign leaders (i.e. Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Pope Francis).
It was disengaged from the UAE Army in 1991 and became an independent unit of the General Command of the Armed Forces.
In 1994 the formation was modified to become a group of military music and was associated with the Directorate of Moral Guidance.
