The hand salute should be rendered during specific occasions, such as when you are reporting to an officer, during the national anthem or colors ceremony, and when you encounter the flag. It's a sign of respect and is typically performed in military and formal settings. Additionally, salutes are exchanged between military personnel as a gesture of mutual respect.
