Do enlisted soldiers render salutes to other enlisted personnel?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only during ceremonies
• D. Only when outdoors

Answer: (B)

In Army customs, a hand salute is a sign of respect that is reserved for officers. Enlisted personnel render salutes to commissioned and warrant officers, and to foreign officers when appropriate, and they do not salute fellow enlisted soldiers. So, the usual practice is that enlisted members do not extend a hand salute to other enlisted personnel; they acknowledge peers in other appropriate ways and render or receive salutes when interacting with officers.
