Thunderbolts,

Luke AFB resumed the time-honored tradition of playing Reveille, Retreat, and Taps Monday through Friday to start and end our duty day. Each weekday at 0700, you hear Reveille followed by "To the Colors"; at 1700 you hear Retreat followed by the National Anthem; and at 2100 you hear Taps. During these times, all personnel on Luke AFB should be prepared to render the proper respect to the flag and to our country. Please refer to the information below for the appropriate actions to take during these events.

What do I do when Reveille or Retreat is played?

Whether in uniform or not in uniform: At the first sound of Reveille or Retreat (0700 or 1700), stop where you are and turn to face the flag (if visible) or in the general direction of the music and, if in uniform, stand at parade rest. If not in uniform, protocol still dictates that you stop and face the flag or the music out of respect.

What if I'm driving at the time of Reveille or Retreat?

If in a vehicle during Reveille or Retreat, safely pull the car to the side of the road and come to a complete stop. All occupants should sit quietly at attention until the last note of "To The Colors" or the National Anthem is played.

When do I come to attention and salute the flag?

In uniform: When the Reveille or Retreat music concludes, come to attention and render a salute when you hear the first note of "To The Colors" or the National Anthem.

Military personnel not in uniform/Civilians: Come to the position of attention and place your right hand over your heart. Remove your hat with your right hand and hold it at the left shoulder while your right hand is over the heart. Military personnel and veterans not in uniform may also render a salute.

How long do I hold my salute?

Remain at the position of attention, saluting the flag until the last note of "To The Colors" or the National Anthem has finished playing

What do I do when Taps is being played?

Taps began as a signal to extinguish lights or lights out at the end of the day. Many bases across the Air Force play Taps to signify lights out or to begin quiet hours. For these purposes, saluting is not required.

Exception: Upon hearing Taps at a military ceremony (military funeral, memorial ceremony, wreath laying, etc.), individuals in uniform and outdoors will salute at the first note of Taps and maintain that position until the last note. If indoors, individuals in uniform will stand at attention and civilians should remove their headgear and place their hand over their heart.

Please feel free to contact the Protocol office at 856-5604 if you have questions.

Thank you,

56 FW/PA
