The command sergeant major then directs UNCASE THE COLORS. The Color bearers lower the Colors (same as present guidon). The two guards move forward and untie and unease the Colors.
When the command "Present, colors!" is given during a military ceremony, the officer in charge, typically a commanding officer or a designated color guard leader, directs the uncase of the colors. This involves the color guard members carefully displaying the flags or colors in a formal manner. The command signifies respect and honors the colors as a symbol of the unit's heritage and pride.
The word "colors" means flag in the service. The command, "present the colors" means to show the flag.
After uncasing the organizational color, the CSM (Command Sergeant Major) typically conducts a briefing to emphasize the significance of the event and its connection to the unit's history and traditions. They may also ensure that the case and its contents are properly stored or displayed, emphasizing respect and reverence for the organizational colors. Additionally, the CSM often reinforces the importance of unity and morale among the soldiers following this ceremonial act.
