Performing a military salute in formation on the spot and on the move
Training in performing a military salute with a weapon as part of a squad is recommended to be carried out first on the spot, and then on the move. The squad leader reminds trainees that the squad on the ground and on the move performs a military salute primarily to direct superiors. In addition, a military salute on command is performed to all superiors in military rank from colonel general (admiral) and above, as well as to persons appointed to lead the inspection of the unit (unit). Performing a military salute in the ranks on the spot is accompanied by giving a report to the commander.
When training to perform a military salute, the squad leader first briefly explains the requirements of the drill regulations, and then gives the necessary commands and monitors the actions of the trainees. At the same time, he can place himself in the role of a senior commander, and orders the duties of a squad commander to be performed by one of the most trained soldiers.
The military salutation on the spot and on the move is carried out according to the command of the squad commander: “Squad is MINDLY, alignment to the RIGHT (to the LEFT).” When performing a military salute on the spot, alignment can be made to the middle of the formation, i.e., by the command “TO-MIDDLE”.
In practice, the military salute is performed in the following sequence:
The squad commander gives the command to perform the greeting at the moment when the chief approaches the squad 20-25 steps:
At the command “Attention”, all military personnel simultaneously assume the “attention” position;
At the command “Alignment to the RIGHT (to the LEFT, to the MIDDLE),” the military personnel also simultaneously and clearly turn their heads towards the superior;
After issuing the command, the squad leader, remaining facing the formation, puts his hand to his headgear, turns towards the commander, and approaches him at a marching pace; two or three steps before him he stops and reports, for example: “Comrade Lieutenant. The second department is engaged in drill training. Squad commander Sergeant Petrov"; if the squad leader with a weapon is in the “on the belt” or “on the chest” position, then it remains unchanged. In this case, the movement of the hand not occupied with the weapon is made in time with the steps;
The commander to whom the military salute is performed puts his hand to the headdress after the squad commander gives the command to perform the military salute;
The squad commander, having given a report and without lowering his hand from his headgear, takes a step to the side with his left (right) foot while simultaneously turning to the right (left) and, letting the chief go ahead, follows him one or two steps behind and on the outside of the formation;
When the chief approaches or moves away, all military personnel in the ranks follow the chief with their eyes, turning their heads after him;
After passing the chief or upon the command “At ease,” the squad leader commands: “At ease” - and lowers his hand;
When the commander approaches from the rear of the formation, the squad leader turns the squad around and then gives the command for a military salute;
If a superior addresses a serviceman in the ranks by military rank and surname, then he answers: “I”, and when addressing only by military rank, the serviceman responds with his position, rank and surname; in this case, the position of the weapon does not change and the hand is not applied to the headdress.
When performing a military salute in formation while on the move, the following features should be taken into account:
At the command “Attention”, all military personnel simultaneously move to a combat step;
On the command “Align to the RIGHT (to the LEFT)”, simultaneously with turning the head towards the boss, the movement stops;
Hands or a hand not occupied by a weapon; with the carbine in the “shoulder” position, the movement of the right hand does not stop;
The squad leader, after giving the command for a military salute, if he is unarmed or with a weapon in the “behind his back” position, turns his head and simultaneously puts his hand to his headgear;
The report is not given to the boss; upon the passage of the chief or at his command “At ease”, in this case the squad leader commands: “At ease” - and lowers his hand.
It is recommended to train a squad in performing a military salute with weapons first in a single-rank formation (one in a column), and then in a two-rank formation (two in a column). In all cases, it is necessary to ensure that the military salute is performed in a smart manner, with strict adherence to the requirements of the Military Regulations; turning the head should be uniform and performed simultaneously by all students; clarity and simultaneity must be observed both when moving to a combat step and when stopping movement of the arms.
The platoon and company commander and their deputies should take an active part in training, especially in training squads in performing a military salute. In their role as senior commander, they train not only the personnel, but also the squad leaders.
