"The Plattsburg Manual A Handbook for Military Training"


"(11) To be especially watchful at night, and, during the time for
challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post, and to allow
no one to pass without proper authority." (Guard Manual.)

SALUTING

Saluting distance is that within which recognition is easy. In general
it does not exceed thirty paces.
A junior, who is mounted, dismounts before addressing a senior who is
dismounted. If the senior is mounted the junior does not dismount when
addressing him.
A junior officer walks or rides on the left of his senior.
National Anthem. Whenever the National Anthem is played at any
place when persons belonging to the military service are present
all officers and enlisted men not in formation should stand at
attention facing toward the music (except at retreat, when they
should face toward the flag). If in uniform, covered, they shall
salute at the first note of the anthem, retaining the position of
salute until the last note of the anthem. If uncovered, stand at
attention but do not salute.
