Honor Guard Commands
These commands are available in MP3 format for down load to give you an idea of how to call commands and to give trainees a way to practice on their own time by listening on a CD or something similar. The commands are given at approximately 75-80 beats per minute (BPM), a ceremonial cadence. I recorded my voice with the help of former USAF DJ Lynn Gray. I have also added some new commands to the list since working with Lynn back in 2010.
- Honor Guard, Attention
- Stand at Ease – Honor Guard, Tench-Hut
- Flight, Tench-Hut
- Platoon, Attention
- Order Arms
- Present Arms
- About Face
- Three-Count About Face (This command is ONLY used during training)
- Right Face
- Left Face
- (Unbloused) Present Arms (Used in training ONLY)
- (Bloused) Present Arms (Used in training ONLY)
- Ceremonial at Ease
Armed-Specific Commands
- Ground Arms
- Take Arms
- Port Arms
- Left Shoulder Arms
- Right Shoulder Arms
- Sequence: Standing Manual Through the Manual of Arms
- Armed Drill While Marching
Colors Presentation/Posting Sequences

In order to know how to execute some of these moves, you’ll have to pick up my fifth book, The Honor Guard Manual.

Thank you, Mr. Lollar.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I post articles every M-W-F at 0800, EST. I also write special articles ever couple of weeks. I’m going to work out a subscription system eventually so that people can be informed of new articles/information.
Thank you for your service to our country; God bless America!

Hello, I host a 10 month internship every year and I would like to begin teaching and instructing drill with my students to instill, discipline, camaraderie, etc… Being that we are not a military organization such as a JROTC unit, is there any possibility of me entering these students in any type of RD or XD competitions?
Thank you!
DrillMaster said on November 5, 2012
Thank you very much for the note!
Yes, actually, there are a small hand full of competitions around the country. John Jay High School (TX) just announced their first annual independent competition, Melbourne High School (FL) will soon announce theirs and each summer there is a competition in Florida called FLDC (Florida Drill Competition) and NYDC (New York Drill Competition).
Here at The DrillMaster, I am working to generate and promote more competitions for indie Drillers like your students. I’ll send you an email so we can talk more.
