hange of salutes. (2) If two detachments or other commands meet, their commanders will exchange salutes, both commands being at attention. 761. Salutes and honors, as a rule, are not paid by troops actually engaged in drill, on the march, or in the field under campaign or simulated campaign condition. Troops on the service of security pay no compliments whatever. 762. If the command is in line at a halt (not in the field) and armed with the rifle, or with sabers drawn, it shall be brought to PRESENT ARMS or PRESENT SABERS before its commander salutes in the following cases: When the National Anthem is played, or when TO THE COLOR or TO THE STANDARD is sounded during ceremonies, or when a person is saluted who is its immediate or higher commander or a general officer, or when the national or regimental color is saluted. 763.

The same rules apply when TO THE COLOR or TO THE STANDARD is sounded as when the National Anthem is played. When played by an army band, the National Anthem shall be played through without repetition of any part not required to be repeated to make it complete.
