ROTC Color Guard??????????

Question

What is the Color Guard and what do they make u do at tryouts??

Answer 1

The Color Guard is a group of people in all military orginizations including ROTC. What they do is present the colors(Flags). Traditionally there will be a United States flag and either a state or branch flag. They are usually escorted by two riflemen. So it goes rifle, flag, flag, rifle. They are very visible on military bases but in ROTC it is more of a competition. The American flag bearer is typically in charge. There will be a routine to memorize in competitive Color Guard and it is based on how well you preform. I hope this helps.
