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.

In a military setting, when "uncasing the colors" with the command "present arms," it is usually the commanding officer who directs the uncasing of the colors. This ceremonial act is typically done to honor the flag or colors being presented.
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.
