Sword Arch

The Sword Arch is a time-honored military tradition that adds elegance and symbolic significance to formal ceremonies. Performed by uniformed personnel, the arch is typically featured at weddings, graduations, commissioning ceremonies, and other significant milestones. Team members undergo focused training to ensure precise timing, uniformity, and decorum. As honorees pass beneath the raised sabers, the arch serves as a gesture of respect, unity, and the welcoming of new beginnings, reflecting the values and traditions of military service.

Reveille & Retreat

Reveille and Retreat ceremonies are solemn daily traditions that honor the beginning and end of the duty day while paying respect to the flag and the nation it represents. Reveille is conducted in the morning as the flag is raised, signifying the start of official duties, while Retreat takes place in the evening as the flag is lowered, marking the close of the day. These ceremonies are performed with precision and decorum, often accompanied by the playing of bugle calls and the national anthem. Participation in Reveille and Retreat reflects the discipline, respect, and unity of the military community, reminding all service members of their commitment to duty and country.
