Every service member in the US Military salutes, according to protocol.

  • All salutes are held until returned.
  • Lower ranking service members present salutes to officers first when out of doors, but not in a combat situation, and officers return the salute.
  • All personnel in the US Army salute upon reporting to the commanding officer, in doors or out.
  • The highest ranking SM in a group (detail, squad, crew, platoon) will initiate a salute to a higher ranking officer upon that officer's approach.
  • All service members salute the flag upon raising, lowering, or passing.
  • The highest ranking SM in the room will call "Attention" upon the entry of an officer during the regular work day, and in the US Army may offer a salute (according to unit SOP).
  • A passing unit will respond to "Eyes! Right!" when passing in parade and the Master of Drill (the SM leading the unit) will offer a salute to the officers in review and the flag upon passing.
