Saluting Protocol

Saluting protocol is a formal system used to show respect and courtesy within military and certain uniformed organizations. Typically, it involves a specific gesture—raising the right hand with fingers touching the forehead or brim of the hat—directed toward a higher-ranking officer or during official ceremonies. The protocol dictates when salutes are appropriate, such as when greeting superiors or during formal events, and emphasizes addressing individuals with respect regardless of rank. Overall, it ensures discipline, mutual regard, and tradition are maintained during interactions within the organization.
