    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.
