MILITARY COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
MILITARY DISCIPLINE
a. A military discipline is prompt, intelligent, willing, and cheerful obedience to the will of the leader.
Its basis is the voluntary subordination of the individual to the welfare of the group. It is the
cementing force which binds the members of a unit; when endures after the leader has fallen and
every semblance of authority has vanished “it is the spirit of the military team”.
b. Discipline establishes a state of mind which produces proper action and prompt cooperation under
all circumstances, regardless of obstacles. It creates individual a desire and determination to
undertake and accomplish any mission assigned by the leader; and in the leaders absence, to make
and carry out decisions which it is believed he would make if present.
c. Acceptance of the authority of a leader does not mean that the individual soldier surrenders all
freedom of action, or that he has no individual responsibility. On the contrary, the American system
of discipline calls for active cooperation from the subordinate, and emphasizes his importance as an
individual.
d. True military discipline extends deeper than and beyond mere outward sign. While proper dress and
smartness of appearance are desirable and conducive to good discipline, they are not alone
conclusive proof of true discipline. A more positive indication is the behaviour of individuals or
units away from the presence or guidance of their supriors.
e. Military discipline can be attained only by careful and systematic education and training. All types
of training which develop positive qualities of pride, honor, loyalty, confidence, initiative and
teamwork are essential. There is no perfect formula for such training, as no two groups or even two
individuals will respond in the same manner. It is essential that the civilian environment of a soldier
be kept in mind, since it may differ radically from that of the army. The necessary transition may be
a slow, laborlous process requiring infinite patience and consideration on the part of the leader.
Impossible or unnecessary demands will quickly undermine or even destroy the self-confidence so
necessarily in well-disciplined individuals and units. Drills which require accuracy and mental and
physical coordination assist in attaining discipline, short, varied exercises in group physical training
are valuable. Competitive drills, exercises, and games aid the growth of the group spirit.
f. A sense of individual pride and responsibility is essential to good discipline.
g. Good morale is conducive to good discipline. It implies contentment and warrants the leaders closest
attention, suitable living conditions, physical welfare, appetizing food, healthful recreation, and time
for relaxation all contribute to morale.
h. Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained-by common sense, good,
judgement, and justice on the part of the leader, and high morale, pride, and responsibility on the
part of the men.
MILITARY COURTESY
a. Courtesy is the expression of consideration for others. Courtesy is important in civil life to eliminate
friction and make personal associations pleasant. In military life courtesy is vital, for only by constant
consideration for others does one show that appreciation of their importance which produces the
cooperation of all toward concerted effort. It is for the reason that so much emphasis is laid on military
courtesy.
b. Courtesy is shown toward all, it is just as important to be courteous to juniors as to seniors. It expresses
an appreciation of the importance of his contributions to the group effort, the leader shows his
realization of their importance in that same effort.
c. The methods of expressing military courtesy are distinctive and precise. Their prompt and smart
observance stresses the importance of the consideration which they express.
d. The courtesy which marks military ceremonies has a far-reaching importance
- A salute to flag is a declaration of loyalty to the principles and ideals of which the flag is the material
symbol, and to the nation dedicated to these principles. When a military man presents arms at retreat
or salutes a senior. It is a recognition of the organized authority of the nation, the protection of which
is the reason for existence of the army.
SALUTES
The most important of all military courtesies is the salute. This is because it is at once the most obvious
and the most used. The proper execution of the salute distinguishes the military man. The salute serves two
purposes; as the act of recognition between members of the military profession and as an indication of
respect for authority. The salute is not a mark of subservience, it is an indication of the possession of military
courtesy and discipline by those who render it. Its omission indicates a lack of courtesy which is a mark of poor
discipline.
GENERAL RULES AND DEFINITIONS IN REGARD TO SALUTING
a. All persons in the military service are required to salute at all times when they meet and recognized
persons entitled to the salute, the junior saluting first.
b. Those persons entitled to the salute are commissioned officers of the army, navy, marine corps, coast
guard, and commissioned officers of allied nations in time of war. It is also customary to salute officers
of friendly foreign countries when recognized as such.
c. Saluting distance is that distance at which recognition is easy. Usually it does not exceed 30 paces. The
salute is rendered before the person to be saluted approaches closer than 6 paces. This permits him time
to recognized and return the salute.
d. In executing the salute the head is turned so as to observe the person saluted. The salute is held until
returned by the person saluted or until he has passed. A salute is returned by all officers entitled to it
unless they are in formation, when only the senior returns the salute. The salute must never be rendered
in a casual or perfunctory manner, nor with pipe, cigar, or cigarette held in the mouth or in the right

place, if a conversation takes place, the junior again salutes the senior departing or when the senior

regardless of rank. An example of this is the case of a battalion commander rendering a report to the
regimental adjutant during a ceremony.
i. The salute is rendered only at a halt or a walk. If running, a person comes down to a walk before
saluting; a mounted person at a trot or gallop comes down to the walk to salute.
j. Organization or detachment commanders, when not a part of a larger formation, salute officers of higher
grades by bringing the organization or detachment to attention before saluting.
k. The salute is always rendered by a junior on reporting to a senior. He will also salute on the termination
of the interview, or upon leaving.

by a senior.
