Which statement emphasizes saluting officers and colors not cased?

• A. The 10th General Order requires saluting all officers and all colors and standards not cased
• B. The 10th General Order requires reporting all violations
• C. The 10th General Order requires standing at attention at all times
• D. The 10th General Order requires executing orders immediately

Answer: (A)

Saluting etiquette governs honoring officers and the unit’s colors. The statement that emphasizes this is the one that specifies saluting all officers and all colors and standards not cased. In military practice, "colors" refers to the flag or standard, and "not cased" means it is displayed openly rather than stored away. When colors are not cased, saluting them is part of showing respect alongside saluting officers, especially during ceremonies or formal moments. The other statements describe different duties—reporting violations, standing at attention, or executing orders immediately—which are not about the act of saluting the colors.
