Does the salute apply on military installations?

• A. No, only off installations.
• B. Yes, it applies both on and off military installations.
• C. Only indoors.
• D. Only outdoors.

Answer: (B)

Saluting is a sign of respect for commissioned officers that depends on rank, not location. On a military installation, the same courtesy applies as off it: you render a salute when you encounter or pass an officer in uniform, wherever you are. Indoors or outdoors doesn’t by itself change the duty—salutes are expected in appropriate, direct encounters with officers, though indoors you may follow specific reporting or formation contexts. So the rule applies in both places, on base and off.
