Use the following procedures to case and uncase the Colors. a. The Color guard forms in a line formation with the cased Colors at the Carry Position (Order Position when indoors). The CG Commander then commands Sling, ARMS.

(1) The Color guards immediately adjust their slings and assume Sling Arms. The CG commander commands POST. The Color guards face to the Half Left (Right) in marching, take four steps, halt, and execute About Face.

(2) The CG commander then directs UNCASE (CASE) THE COLORS. The Color bearers lower the Colors (same as Present Guidon). The two guards move forward and untie and uncase the Colors. The Color bearers unfurl and immediately return the Colors to the Carry (Order) Position. While the Colors are being unfurled, the guards fold the cases and secure them in their left hand.

(3) When the Colors are in the Carry Position, the CG commander commands Present, ARMS. The Color guards, and the state/organizational Color salute.

(4) The CG commander commands Order, ARMS, and then commands POST. On the command of execution POST, the Color guards place the folded canvas cases inside the cartridge belts (center rear) of the Color bearers. The Color guards assume their original positions, adjust their slings, and return to Right Shoulder Arms. b. To case the Colors, the procedures are basically the same except Present Arms is given before the Colors are lowered.
