What army regulation covers salutes, honors, and visits of courtesy?

• A. AR 600-20
• B. AR 600-25
• C. AR 670-1
• D. AR 195-1

Answer: (B)

Salutes, honors, and visits of courtesy are standardized to maintain respect, order, and recognition of rank across the Army. Army Regulation 600-25 codifies the customs and courtesies that govern how soldiers greet one another, render honors during ceremonies, and conduct visits of courtesy to and from military personnel and officials. It explains who is saluted, when and how to render a salute, and how honors are presented at ceremonies and official events, ensuring consistent behavior across the force. This regulation provides the established procedures so interactions remain uniform in everyday duties and formal occasions. Other regulations cover different topics—command policy, dress and appearance, or investigations—so they do not address salutes, honors, and visits of courtesy.
