    Military Funeral Honors

    THE HISTORY OF MILITARY FUNERAL HONORS Maryland State Funeral Directors Association Online Course – 1.0 CEU October 2017 Credit approved and accepted by the Maryland Board of Morticians & Funeral Directors Course Objectives Our national tradition of honoring those who have served is never more in evidence than following the death of a military veteran or active duty soldier. The ceremonies of these funerals recall their accomplishments in life and demonstrate the Nation's recognition of a debt owed for their services. This course provides an overview of the history of Military Funeral Honors, traditions associated with Military Funeral Honors and information regarding the procedure for requesting honors. The History of Military Funeral Honors - Online Course 10-2017 2 Military Funeral Honors - Introduction On almost any day at cemeteries throughout the United States, a military ritual occurs that is both familiar and moving. An escort of honor comes to attention and presents arms. Next, a firing party fires three rifle volleys. After the briefest of moments, a bugler sounds Taps. The flag that has covered the casket is then folded into a triangle reminiscent of the cocked hat from the American Revolution. The flag is then presented to the next of kin on behalf of the president, the parent service of the deceased and a grateful nation. This is, of course, Military Funeral Honors, the ceremonial rendering of respect in a solemn and dignified manner. The History of Military Funeral Honors - Online Course 10-2017 3 From Modest to Elaborate… Long-standing military customs, various religious traditions and the wishes of the next of kin are the foundations of these ceremonies.

Mustion, Commanding General, US Army Human Resources Command, will relinquish command to MG Thomas Seamands and retire from the US Army after more than 34 years of honorable service to the Army and the Nation. MG Mustion assumed command of Human Resources Command in August 2012 and has guided the command through an Army in persistent conflict and continuous deployments to an Army that is resetting and facing significant turbulence through a substantial draw down of forces. MG Mustion’s vision for future human resources support of Army operations resulted in his spearheading the new HR Optimization initiative that will accomplish the following: 1) Enable execution of Mission Command by MG Richard P. Mustion Senior Commanders over the HR domain and allow G1s to effectively conduct training readiness oversight (TRO) support for Corps / Divisions / Brigades, and execute the resultant additional HR oversight; 2) Realign Army HR support to Senior Commanders through the multifunctional HR capability and direct support execution from the HR Company; 3) Reassess Standard Requirements Code 12 HR unit structure / requirements and determine new HR Company structure for DS at Corps and a new HR Operations Center (HROC) construct for ASCCs; and 4) Assess a potential shift of responsibility for the Army’s Postal mission and review the HR Operations Branch (HROB) structure in Sustainment Brigades and ESCs.

  • The Guidon 2016 - 2017

    The Guidon 2016 - 2017

    The Guidon 2016 - 2017 The South Carolina Corps of Cadets WELCOME TO THE CITADEL The Guidon is published every year as a source of information for fourth-class cadets. As a member of the Class of 2020, you are highly encouraged to familiarize yourself with all of the information enclosed in The Guidon. Since your initial time on campus will be filled with many activities, it is suggested to be familiar with as much of this information as possible before you report. The Guidon consists of two parts: general information that will help a cadet recruit become acclimated to The Citadel campus and lifestyle and required fourth-class knowledge, a mix of traditional Citadel knowledge and leader development knowledge. The cadet chain of command will test knobs on each piece of required knowledge and record the results in the tracking log in the back of The Guidon. This log and the process associated with it will be one assessment tool TACs can use as part of determining whether or not to certify cadets in several LDP learning outcomes. The required knowledge will be presented in manageable sizes that correspond to milestones in the fourth-classmen’s progression through the year. The milestones are broken down as follows: the end of Challenge Week, the end of Cadre Period, the end of first semester, and second semester until Recognition Day. The knowledge progresses from rudimentary information through more complex ideas, and culminates with the cadets becoming familiar with the Leadership Development Plan for The Citadel and how they will fit into that plan as upperclassmen.
