A. When reporting to an officer in his office, the soldier removes
his headgear, knocks, and enters when told to do so. He approaches within
two steps of the officer’s desk, halts, salutes, and reports, “Sir
(Ma’am), Private Jones reports.†The salute is held until the report is
completed and the salute has been returned by the officer.
b. When the business is completed, the soldier salutes, holds the
salute until it has been returned, executes the appropriate facing
movement, and departs.
c. When reporting indoors under arms, the procedure is the same
except that the headgear is not removed and the soldier renders the
salute prescribed for the weapon with which he is armed.
