- In classic style, the US Army Old Guard passes in review. Included are the Continental Color Guard, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and a platoon of Army Soldiers in the Continental uniforms of the Revolutionary War. The Old Guard is also the 3rd Infantry Regiment.
I’m still trying to find the keys to Summerall Field 🤷🏻♂️
Love this video. It's great seeing a pass and review in Army dress blues and so sharply executed. As a former 11B, I'm glad and proud to have served in the Army.
It makes me proud to have been both a Regular and a Guardsman and to see these troops pass in review..and carrying the beautiful M-14 rifle !
Ahh the memories! I was Delta 3rd Plt TOG 87-90
The good old days brother
I was in the Old Guard on two separate tours, 71-73 and 74 to 76. HHC and Charlie Guard. Great experience!!!
Sending 💪🏽&❤🇺🇸. B Co 87-91 (caskets)
My old unit from '81 to '84. Still makes my heart swell with pride. Sharp as a razor's edge.
I breathed in many gnats on that field Delta Company 75-79

🇺🇸💪🏽💪🏾💪💪🏿💪🏼💪🏻 "HOOOAH" !! 😡😤
For "GOD✝️& Country 🇺🇸", ...this 🇺🇸 "WE'LL DEFEND" !!
100%🇺🇸
Never been issued a set of Dress Blues . Got a bunch of Jungle fatigues and Jungle boots though. Got piles of equipment and ammo at the Company hootch at LZ English when we came in from the Bush in the WIA and KIA pile. Weapons and gear all you need didnt need to see the supply Sargent no forms to sign yahoo just like Christmas . Never been in a peace time Army . Went to the 2/503 of the 173rd Abn got there in 69 when I was 17 left just before I turned 20 . Went to the 82nd 2/505 at Ft.Bragg a guy at the VA told me they changed the name of the Post . Hows all the guys gonna know where to go when they recover them if they dont know the name of the Post ?.... I love Parades I get to Salute the Flag when she goes by. Its just that you got to kill them more than they kill you and nobody won no gun fight parading around they tried that didnt they . Just ask the British when they withdrew out of Lexington and Concorde back to Boston in 1776 .......By the way all the fighting was done by Militia on that day...................no regulars
Welcome home brother
I can honestly say I took part in that ceremony in the summer of 1999 right before I took off to Korea
You guys looked great. Brought back good memories of me watching reviews -- or being in them.
I think its interesting too that hardly any troops do right shoulder arms any more -- its just the far simpler sling arms
Pablo Martinez Does Fort Myer still allow the public entry to watch these Reviews? I recall attending one in the late 1990's on the recommendation of one of my staff members. He told us the public was allowed on Thursdays (I think it was) so we attended. My absolute favorite are the Fife and Drums. :-)
I don't know havent been on ft myer since sept 1999
+Pablo Martinez cool
March Grandioso. I have always loved that march, since childhood.
Regina Carey March Grandioso my favorite march.
I served in the 3rd US Infantry {TOG} from February 1984 to December 1986 in Alpha and then Bravo Companies. Watching this video brings back some great memories. I think I marched on Summerall field at least 40-50 times in that time I was there. I had been in the Army six years when I arrived at the 3rd Herd! It seems just like yesterday! OLD GUARD ALL THE WAY!
I served in E Company (Honor Guard) 2nd Plt. from Feb 1973 to Jan 1977, my last ceremony was President Carter's Inaguartion. "Sgt D" was our platoon seargent! At one time, we had MSG Francis "Jack" Daniels as 1st Sgt! Some of the best and proudest memories of my life.
Respect Larry. Was there from 75-70 in Delta Company. Still have President Carter's Letter.
I was “trained” by Big Jack Daniels in 1971 in HG company. Best time of my life. Was Sgt D perhaps Sgt Dice?
Thank you for your great service. You send the message of true American spirit...sad that you are under the command of the embarrassment trump...he soils everything he touches.....huzzah to the Old Guard,
This makes me proud to have served as an infantry soldier in the United States Army. I wounded have loved to serve in the 9ld guard but I wasn't tall enough
It's great to see the Army wear their ceremonial dress blues, which they don't really wear it often, unlike the Marine Corps, where marines often wear their ceremonial dress blues.
Excellent band and pleased to see they are using real parade snare drums and not the feeble imposters that more than a few US military bands are using these days.
The old rope tension drums with cow-hide heads produce a positively thunderous sound-but rain turns the heads floppy, so most US bands use plastic heads carry ran covers!
Was there marching. "Honor Guard" E Co, 1st Platoon.
And I am glad you are here! 😊❤️🌈🇺🇸
Echo 2 here. The old company next to C-Hall is empty and dilapidated now
Maaaan our 1SG used to make us run the P&R on that field until my shoulder would lock up holding the rifle. I hated him at the time but he was a damn good NCO that demanded perfection. But my company ALWAYS won CERTEPS year after year. We were damn good. 1SG Scott Taylor, if you ever see this, you made us represent Honor Guard Co 110%.
You look good men, you look good
The colonel needs to work on his saber drill. I've seen JROTC cadets perform "Return Saber" better than he managed.
Otherwise, this was an excellent parade!
Also, shout out to any TOG boys who used to "wooo" during the sound off until the SGM drum major would yell "CUT THAT SHIT OUT!" during rehearsals
So beautiful 🇺🇲
Looking squared away!!! 🇺🇸
Great army truly amazing,thank you,
Рузалия Камалиева most parades are not as formal or stiff as this one. But it is beautiful in its own way. And the band plays so well!
To the Company Commander and Platoon leaders who present arms with swords. The Sword hand DOES NOT MOVE WHILE MARCHING DURING THE SALUTE...the sword hand stays still it does not swing as in normal marching.
While marching at present saber (sword), the right arm is swung naturally (nine inches to the front and six inches to the rear) in a vertical plane, flexing the wrist to keep the tip of the blade level (about six inches) above the marching surface. This requires extending the wrist on the forward movement and elevating the wrist on the rearward movement.
@@davidwarner3326 Wrong and Wrong. The manual of the sword for the US Military clear the sword arm DOES NOT SWING during present arms WHILE MARCHING. Never has never will. Not only that but the Old Guard has propensity to violate 22-5 in other ways as well. Tomb sentries have of late gone to swinging the right leg out to make heal clicks louder during halts while marching their post. This is another specific example of violating 22-5. So not only are you wrong you're very wrong...and here is the proof. Pass in Review for President Obama...notice the Army officers don't swing the sword during present arms during passes in review...neither does anyone else.

@@davidwarner3326 Here is another example. The only time that sword hand is moved during a pass in review is when the sword is brought down in salute or put back up on the shoulder. No other services moves the sword arm either and if they do they are wrong.

If you really want your mind blown, watch video from Marine Barracks Washington and compare it to how manual is "supposed" to be done. Oh, you should also see the drum major of the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps salute with his left hand. Get a grip and realize that ceremonial units do things differently.
Was there. Honor Guard Co, 1st PLT. Good memories. Good ole Col. Gardner.....
i was there too when col gardner was incharge from 97 to 99
Alexander Wallgren I was in Honor Guard 1971-1973. Many hours spent on Summerall Field. Great memories!
I was there too. Honor Guard Co, 3rd Plt.
I was there too
I keep finding myself coming back to this Spiffing video every now and then! I simply can't get enough of the Army Band Drum Majors' Swagger! (And of course the music is fantastic! ). His style reminds of the UK Guards Division Drum Majors. Wish there were more videos showing him.
Old guard excellence
John McLaurin roger that
I get chills up my spine just watching this
Stephen Petersen it’s a beautiful perfect American parade!
Can anyone tell me the name of the March at 3:36 please? Ta.
Joseph Elliott I'm a bit late but, it's called "Washington's Grand March", hope this helps!
@@delvinrodriguez3341 yeah thanks mate.
@@josephelliott7336 Np mate, glad I could be of help!
I had just got to Dco in 98 good ol' 1SG Goldbolt
The Band would most likely have the the US Army Field Band and this was a quarterly retirement ceremony, after the Pass in Review they played Auld Lang Syne and the Army Song, great video :)
This is the US Army Band "Pershing's Own" (stationed at Fort Myer) not the US Army Field Band (stationed at Fort Meade). I only know because I was fortunate to be assigned to both units during my career. :-)
Perfection. ::chills::
God bless America for ever.
Not quite. 1BN is TOG, but 3BN is a reserve unit stationed at Ft. Snelling, MN
I am sure I was there, when i was needed, I was there LOL. D Co 97-00
e.co 97-00 as well
When we were needed, we were there, we were there when we were needed, we were there, oh it wasn't always easy, it wasn't always fair, but when freedom called we answered, we were there. Hats off 2 TOG and TUSAB.
Good old days!
3:18 is e.co lol look at me
Former member, Charlie Guard 3rd Platoon 1st Firing Party 1980-1982! Staff Sergeant Mallow Squad Leader! We always gave (3) perfect cracks! HOOAH
I see you! Lol
I think the army's new uniform looks like an old soviet dress uniform collar is wide color off its not pinks and 💚
This is spiffing! Best Drum Major I've seen leading the army band!
Was this the barn burner that was the retirement of the 3 star? The one that was the father in law of Alpha Company's commander (CPT House), where he said during his comments that CPT House said to him the night before that "Dad...short is good"? Then he commenced to 1 hour and 20 minuets of comments. That 3 Star needs a Rochambeau.
A HEROS THE. OLD GUARD PASS IN REVIEW AT FORD MYER. ON POOR GERMANY
God Bliss America.
If i am not mistaken the Old Guard is the only unit authorized to march with fixed bayonets.
Interesting! Does anyone know?
@@martialmusic My first assignment after Infantry OSUT at Benning and Airborne School Nov 79- Mar 80 was 1st Bn 509th Infantry ABCT in Vicenza, Italy. We had a few parades during my time there from 80-82 in which we marched with bayonets fixed! I served in the 82nd Airborne Division from 1982-1984 prior to being assigned to the 3RD herd from 84-86 ! I served in A and B Companies while in the TOG! The Annual Division review held at Fort Bragg is with Bayonets fixed! 15,000 soldiers passing in review and most carrying their M16A2's with Fixed bayonets except for the M6o machine gunners who carried the MG with the sling over their shoulders. While in Alaska from 87-91 we marched with Bayonets fixed during ceremonies and pass in reviews ! I often wondered about that during parades on Summerall when the announcer would say TOG was the only unit authorized to march with bayonets fixed during Pass In Review and parades ! I guess the rest of the Army didn't get the memo ! LOL
Too bad the video is so blurry. Wish the Army would go back to this type of marching discipline.
The regular army does march poorly
@@martialmusic it does now. Too much time is spent inside taking online classes, SHARP, EO, Suicide Prevention, and no time on D&C.
Speaking as an Army brat starting 1952 the Army has always marched poorly compared to Marines. Darn
What's the name of the first march?
March grandioso was first
What song is playing at @1:35? Someone please tell me!
Grandioso is the name of the march. It is by Roland Seitz
Thanks Robert!
I miss that
Kurt Russell I,loved watching them as a kid too
Kurt Russell then you were In the Army band?
very pretty but can they fight
LOL It's been a while since I heard that one! They ARE genuine infantry - had to serve in some other infantry battalion before coming to the old guard. That I do know.
What is double nickel? [I have heard of triple nickel before though -- an AA Airborne unit that fought forest fires during WW2
On top of training for this, they train infantry tactics and go to the field.
double Nickel six I was there in 71-73. Many Vietnam infantry vets in our company, so YES they can fight
Piss of vivie asshole..
Thank you for this 🥲
