    Twenty Bugle Calls As sounded in the U.S. Armed Forces Compiled and edited by WWW.TAPSBUGLER.COMJari Villanueva These are bugle calls sounded in the United Sates Armed Forces. The calls are printed along with a brief explanation of their origin and use. Bugle calls can be sounded on trumpets or cornets when a bugle is not available. Bugle calls have been used in the military since armies have been formed. A useful tool for sending communications over a long distance, they were also important in everyday military life. Today most calls are used in ceremonial settings and at times designated by base commanders. Although troops are no longer maneuvered by the sound of bugles they remain an essential part of our military heritage. Bugle calls are classified into three categories-Warning Calls, Formation Calls, and Service Calls. Sounding bugle calls is an important duty. Every effort should be made to sound perfect calls in keeping with the occasion of a military ceremony. Calls should be sounded with conviction and played musically with good intonation. They should be sounded in place. The following calls are listed in the general order they are sounded during the day. Calls requiring a hand salute are noted. Twenty Bugle Calls As sounded in the U.S. Armed Forces FIRST CALL (Warning Call)-Sounded as signal for those who are to participate in a formation or ceremony to get ready. It also is used as a signal for all buglers to assemble. This call dates from the French cavalry- “Pour la Reunion des Trompettes”-1804 by David Buhl.

  • Artillery Bugle Signals Manual for Non-Buglers
    AMERICAN CIVIL WAR By the Bugle Series III Artillery Bugle Signals Manual for Non-Buglers GIVING ALL THE CALLS FOR CAMP AND FIELD DUTY WITH DEFINITIONS AND USAGE FOR EVERY SIGNAL TO WHICH IS ADDED MEMORIZATION DITTIES FOR THE CALLS By a Battery of Artillerists Robert Bromley * Scott Gutzke * Chas. Lee * Joseph Loehle * Michael Millette Jason Napolitan * Lorrie Stearns * Doug Thompson * Jay Walker EDITED BY R. J. SAMP CHIEF BUGLER, FIRST FEDERAL DIVISION Illinois: PUBLISHED BY THE ACW BUGLERS PRESS MMII 2 IN BATTERY! Nothing stirs the emotion of the Artilleryman more than the blare of a bugle sounding "In Battery" or the bark of cannon. Signaling troops by the use of a horn goes back to the Roman Empire and Biblical times. The daily routine of the American Civil War soldier was regulated by bugle signals, with the infantry, cavalry, and artillery all having their own sets of signals. Many Artillery calls are identical to the Cavalry calls (especially Horse and Camp Duty calls). The US Armed Forces bugle calls used today largely came from the combined Civil War call manuals, an exercise carried out by artillery Major Truman Seymour in 1866-1873. Although the rank of bugler has disappeared from the modern army and the bugle is a symbol of an era gone by, bugling is a tradition that continues to live on for ceremonies and special occasions. As reenactors we constantly strive to improve upon our impression. If this work helps to assist the Artillery reenactor with a better understanding of the bugle, its proper use in reenacting, and its importance in communicating commands by signals, then our objective has been met.

  • Bugle Calls (The Schedule) the Post Commander Held a Wide Range of Authority in the Conduct of the Garrison
    Bugle Calls (The Schedule) The post commander held a wide range of authority in the conduct of the garrison. The daily schedule of bugle calls was one of his tools to regulate the activities of soldiers. Although the schedule would vary from season to season, the routine generally did not. The result was a regimented lifestyle that centered around the bugle call as a measure of time. This schedule of calls is extracted from schedules used at Fort Union during its time of operation. The bugle calls are presented to help visitors envision Fort Union as an active military post. Differences between the historic army time schedule and this time schedule are noted in the description of the bugle calls. Some of the early and later bugle calls are played in a modern time context to correspond with current park hours. 8:15 Assembly of Trumpeters The first signal for soldiers to awake from their blissful slumber; this call historically sounded between 4:45 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., depending on the season. 8:20 Reveille Upon the last note of this call, the flag was raised, the morning gun was fired, and all men were out of their bunks and getting dressed for morning roll call. 8:25 Assembly The men stood in formation outside their barracks for morning roll call. 8:30 Stable Call Soldiers in the cavalry put on their white canvas stable clothing and reported to the stables to feed and groom their mounts. This was historically done right after morning roll call, about 6:15 a.m.
