Guard Cadets may not wear a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Identification Badge until they have completed necessary requirements and training to become a Sentinel.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
IV. Protocol while on Guard
While on guard, Sentinels are to remain silent unless the crowd must be controlled, in which case guards are to face the crowd, port arms, and announced ‘IT IS REQUESTED THAT YOU REMAIN SILENT!” Guards are to remain with the gun up (G Key) during the watch. The routine of the guard is as follows:
Marches 21 steps down the black mat laid across the Tomb.
Turns and faces toward the Tomb, for 21 seconds.
Turns and faces north, wait 21 seconds.
Marches 21 steps down the mat.
Turns and faces toward the Tomb for 21 seconds.
Turns and faces south, waits 21 seconds.
Repeats the routine until the soldier is relieved of duty at the Changing of the Guard.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
V. Changing of the Guard
The changing of the guard is very meticulous and must be done to regulation. The Changing of the Guard will be done this way:
All participating will speed to 8.
-Cadets and fellow Sentinels will inspect uniforms and weapons of those participating in the tunnel.
-The relief commander or assistant relief commander (RC or ARC) will proceed out of the tunnel without a rifle. The next sentinel will follow after him after waiting 21 seconds from the time he leaves.
-The RC or ARC will walk in and salute the tomb while the next sentinel stands away from the mat with his path parallel to the mat and rests his weapon (T), while the current sentinel continues on with his march.
-The RC or ARC will face the audience and say “Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please, I am (Rank) (Surname) of the Third Infantry Regiment, United States Army, Guard of Honor, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, The ceremony that you are about to witness is the Changing of the Guard, in keeping with the dignity of this ceremony, it is requested that everyone remain silent and standing.”
-The RC or ARC will then about face and salute the tomb and then will right face and walk toward the next sentinel. The next sentinel will then port arms (N) and allow the RC or ARC to inspect it. Meanwhile, the current sentinel will continue on with his march. After inspection, the next sentinel will put his weapon back (G) and the RC or ARC will stand to the next sentinel’s right, with his path being on the mat. When the two begin to march the current sentinel should be at the center of the tomb on the mat.
-The two will march forward. The next sentinel will stop 2 steps off of center, off the mat, facing the same way he was. The RC or ARC will continue on and stop at center facing the audience. The current sentinel will go to the end of the mat nearest the tent and left face, walk off the mat and face the next sentinel. He will then march 2 steps off center on the other side facing the next sentinel. The RC or ARC will announce FACE. The two sentinels will face the tomb. The RC or ARC will then announce PRESENT ARMS. The RC or ARC will about face and salute. The sentinels will present arms. (J then H). When the RC or ARC finishes rendering his salute they will all face back to how they were. The sentinels will then PORT ARMS (N).
-The RC or ARC will announce “Pass on Your Orders”. The sentinel on duty will say “Post and orders remain as directed”. The next sentinel will say “Orders Acknowledged”. They will then port arms and face the tomb. The RC or ARC will announce PRESENT ARMS. The RC or ARC will about face and salute. The sentinels will present arms. (J then H). When the RC or ARC finishes the sentinels will put their arms back (G).
-The next sentinel will step on the mat and begin his activities. The RC or ARC will left face, walk on the mat behind the sentinel on duty (now off duty) and go to his right. They will then march of to the side. The now off duty sentinel will face the audience and port arms. The RC or ARC will face him and inspect the weapon. When finished they will left face. The RC or ARC will say “Fall Out”. The now off duty sentinel will proceed to the quarters. After 21 seconds the RC or ARC will about face and proceed to the quarters.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
