Military Etiquette

Military etiquette refers to the formal customs and manners that govern interactions within the armed forces. It emphasizes respect, discipline, and professionalism, dictating how service members address each other, salute, and behave in various situations. These customs foster mutual respect, unit cohesion, and uphold tradition. For example, saluting officers, standing at attention, and using respectful titles are part of this etiquette. While rooted in tradition, military etiquette also ensures clarity and order, helping maintain discipline and demonstrate respect within the ranks and toward civilians.
