A military salute or salute is a gesture or other action used to show respect by the military. The history of saluting in the army goes back hundreds of years. Military traditions of different countries and times were extremely diverse. Hand gestures, rifle and cannon shots, banner hoisting, headgear removal and other means were used, all to show respect and reverence.

There is a beautiful legend about the first salute.

Sir Francis Drake, the legendary sailor and pirate, in 1588, hosting the Queen of England Elizabeth (far from the standard of beauty), pretended to be blinded by her beauty, covering his eyes with his palm, and, allegedly, this tradition was born.

According to another version, more plausible, the knights raised the visor of the helmet with their unarmed hand, thus greeting their comrades. Today it is believed that the modern gesture of saluting in the army is rooted precisely in the second. Over time, putting your right hand on your headgear has become mandatory for showing respect in all regular (and not only) armies of the world.

Interesting! The modern salute of military honor comes from Great Britain, which is documented by military regulations.

How to salute in the armies of the peoples of the world: the diversity of traditions

In Britain, the military salute is a tribute to the highest-ranking officer and the Queen in whose name he acts.

Important! A prerequisite for a hand gesture, for example, is the presence of a headdress: beret, cap, etc. Without a headdress (indoors), you should stand at attention.

Prudish British etiquette puts forward the most severe requirements for the criteria for performing a salute. How to properly salute in the army, popularly explains the military regulations:

• fingers should be firmly pressed together, the thumb is located along the palm turned outward, the middle finger is to the right and slightly above the eyebrows. As a result, the center of the conditional axis of the hand must be fixed at the level of the head, and the middle finger should be approximately flush with the base of the cockade;
• salute only with the right hand;
• the position of the hand should be maintained until a response gesture follows.

During combat operations, statutory salutes are generally prohibited, mainly due to the sniper threat. At the same time, you should not forget about common sense, because a military base saturated with officers will turn into a farce in a short time, if there were no exceptions here.

The salute in the French army is generally identical to the British. The armies of Australia and New Zealand also inherit the military etiquette of their former mother country. In the US Army, however, they practice saluting with a covered and uncovered head, provided that the hands are free. The Israeli army practically believes that it is not worth burdening soldiers with such rituals during barracks life, therefore it does not oblige anyone to anything.

How did they salute in the Russian army?

The Russian army was created in the European manner, adopting everything, including statutory traditions and military etiquette. Emperor Peter I, its direct creator, was guided by Prussia, Austria, Sweden and other leading military powers of that time. In the imperial army, the military salute was called saluting, and the matter was not limited to one gesture of removing the hat, the military, when meeting with a colleague or boss, had to perform a whole series of bows and squats in order to express deep respect to him, depending on social status. The location (street or room) during the salute also played an important role.

With the advent of massive headdresses in the Russian Imperial Army, such as a helmet and a shako, fastened with a strap at the chin, taking off and bowing became extremely problematic, namely long and clumsy. It was decided to abandon them, and replace them with a long-accepted salute in Europe with a bladed weapon or a movement of the hand to the headdress.

In parallel, for a long time they coexisted and existed, side by side, different options for saluting in the army. However, finally there was a need to reform and unify this part of military etiquette. Saluting by offering a hand to a headdress was gaining more and more popularity, because of its simplicity and clarity. So, the universal form of the ritual was found. Initially, among the officers, preference was given to "trump cards" with two fingers of the right hand, middle and index, the so-called "Polish" greeting, this tradition has been preserved in the Polish Army to this day. The origins of this movement are easily guessed by a simple gesture of removing the hat, when these two fingers were placed on top of the brim, and the thumb supported the headdress from below.

V Russian Empire the second half of the 19th century, a new form of saluting by bringing a brush to the visor of a headdress became a cultural norm. However, the straightened fingers of the hand should have been brought to the visor with the palm down, which was recorded in the military regulations of the 1891 edition in this way:

• banners should be saluted at attention;
• from the crew should salute, with a gesture of moving the hand to the headdress;
• to greet the chief, one should bring the brush to the headgear with straightened fingers, palm down and slightly outward, keep the elbow at shoulder level, while the gaze should be on the commander and accompany him with his eyes;
• during the salute, the military should not take off his hat to anyone.

Honor was supposed to be given to the authorities, members of the royal family, colleagues, the regimental banner, etc. All officers, and all the lower ranks without exception, had to greet each other when they met, putting their right hand to the visor.

After the revolution, the Soviet government significantly reduced the ritual of saluting in the Red Army, but retained the historical basis. After the collapse Soviet Union, in the Russian Federation, the military are faithful to traditions, therefore they teach soldiers, how to salute in the army, modeled on 1975, although the very expression "salute", due to various socio-cultural reasons, has become an anachronism and is practically not used.

51. When out of order, both during classes and in their free time, military personnel of military units (divisions) greet their superiors at the command “Attention” or “Stand up. The command “Attention”, “Get up. Attention” and reported to the commander (chief). For example: “Comrade lieutenant colonel.

18:20 - today I met soldiers twice who performed a military salute towards me. A military salute is usually mutual, and therefore inappropriate if one of the greeters is not dressed in a military uniform. Also, a military greeting is not given without a headdress (there is a wording “puts a hand on the headdress”).

At general meetings of personnel for a military greeting, the command “QUIET” or “STAND UP. When conducting classroom lessons, the teams “Quietly”, “Stand up. Attention” or “Comrade Officers” are served before the start of each lesson and at the end of it.

Officers, warrant officers and warrant officers, when wearing a headdress, lower their hand and subsequently act on the instructions of the commander (chief) who has arrived.

Is there a document on the basis of which I am obliged to give military honor (greeting) to the head of the unit? I asked the head of the guard, the answer was slurred, but unequivocal - it should. I asked the same question on the official website of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The results are deplorable.

To greet in the ranks at the place of the above persons, the senior commander gives the command “Attention, alignment to the RIGHT (to the LEFT, to the MIDDLE)”, meets them and reports. The 46th Tank Regiment was built for general regimental evening verification.

The military salute, which is called “salute” in army life, has nothing to do with the police, for a long time service in the gendarmerie, the secret police in the Republic of Ingushetia was not considered a glorious deed, valor. Now it makes no sense to put someone else's prowess on the modern police. The police is a body of protection from the population of gangster-oligarchic capital, operates according to the LAW, which currently contradicts the concepts of Humanity, morality and the Conscience of Man.

Are military personnel obliged to give a military salute to cops, senior in rank?

It happens that you go around the city and meet a cop - a major or an underground, and I'm just a starley, should I give a military greeting to them? It seems that the rank is higher, but we belong to different structures ... Well, everything is clear with the military, but what are the police officers doing? They are not military.

But it always seemed to me that simply introducing yourself and greeting a person politely is enough to start a conversation between a policeman and a citizen. Probably because I am a military man and for me personally it was savagery to give a military greeting to a civilian by a semi-civilian policeman.

Well, to be precise, they don’t give honor (they don’t scatter honor in passing), but the military give a “military salute”, the policemen give a “greeting”. The police are not the police for you.

43. The military salute is the embodiment of the comradely solidarity of military personnel, evidence of mutual respect and a manifestation of a common culture. All military personnel are obliged to greet each other when meeting (overtaking), strictly observing the rules established by the Combat Charter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Subordinates and juniors in military rank greet first, and with an equal position, the first to greet is the one who considers himself more polite and well-mannered. Chiefs and seniors, addressing subordinates and juniors in the service, call them by military rank and surname or only by rank, adding in the latter case the word “comrade” before the rank.

But seriously, Old, who still worked in the police.

When a soldier, for example, or a policeman salutes, he symbolically confirms: I have a T-I, assuring the citizen that he will treat him like a human being. The policemen perform other functions - to control and suppress the people, so how can there be honoring the Citizens of the Country? So the policemen are the concrete heirs of the Nazis.

Whether to give “honor” (military) to the chief

55. At solemn meetings, conferences in a military unit, as well as at performances, concerts and in the cinema, a command for a military greeting is not given and the commander (chief) is not reported. 56. When a chief or a senior addresses individual servicemen, they, with the exception of the sick, take a combat stance and name their military position, military rank and surname. When shaking hands, the elder gives his hand first.

To greet direct superiors, the command “attention”, “alignment to the right (to the left, to the middle)” is given. Attention” or “Comrade Officers” is served before each lesson and at the end of it. In the presence of the senior commander (chief), the command for a military greeting is not given to the junior and the report is not carried out. If the commander (chief) in the order of service congratulates the serviceman or thanks him, then the serviceman answers the commander (chief): "I serve the Russian Federation."

Example: “comrade commander, the 4th rifle regiment for inspector shooting has been built. In the same order, a Red Army soldier, who has been appointed senior over several other Red Army soldiers, greets direct superiors. His exemplary report: “Comrade Lieutenant, the team of Red Army soldiers of the 2nd division, assigned to work in the target yard, has been built. The team leader is the Red Army soldier Vasilyev.

In classes outside the ranks, as well as at meetings where only officers are present, the command “Comrade officers” is given to greet commanders (chiefs). At the headquarters, only direct superiors and persons appointed to lead the inspection (check) are welcome on command. I asked the nachkar - he answered that if I am a foreman of the INTERNAL SERVICE, then I must comply with the charter of the internal service. I was surprised, because in any of our documentation I did not meet references to this charter. On the official website of the Ministry of Emergency Situations asked the same question.

Everything else is orders and instructions. I asked the nachkar - he answered that if I am a foreman of the INTERNAL SERVICE, then I must comply with the charter of the internal service. Major Ivanov, Chief of Staff of the Battalion.

55. If the commander (chief) in the order of service congratulates the serviceman or thanks him, then the serviceman answers the commander (chief): "I serve the Fatherland." When referring to the military personnel of the guards formations and military units, the word “guards” is added before the military rank. For example: “Comrade of the guard foreman of the 1st article”, “Comrade of the guard colonel”. The personnel of the battalion arrived at the general meeting.

64. Servicemen must constantly serve as an example of high culture, modesty and restraint, sacredly observe military honor, protect their dignity and respect the dignity of others. They must remember that their behavior is judged not only about them, but also about the honor of the Armed Forces as a whole. Relations between military personnel are built on the basis of mutual respect. On matters of service, they should address each other as “you”. In personal appeal, the military rank is called without indicating the type of troops or service. 71. The rules of military courtesy, behavior and military greetings are also obligatory for citizens who are in the reserve or who are retired, when they wear military uniforms. They must strictly observe the established rules for wearing military uniforms.

should a police officer salute

But no one forbade them to salute. For example, yesterday the traffic police inspector saluted me, introduced himself, checked the documents and wished me a happy journey. I have no choice but to say “thank you”. He called himself there, called the unit. I have no other goal. I just passed by and lingered a little on this site. Having received an answer (convincing), I will go on my way.
