USTER.
_Regimental, Battalion, or Company Muster._
755. Muster is preceded by an inspection, and, when practicable, by a
review.
The adjutant is provided with the muster roll of the field, staff, and
band, the surgeon with the hospital roll; each captain with the roll
of his company. A list of absentees, alphabetically arranged, showing
cause and place of absence, accompanies each roll.
756. Being in column of companies at open ranks, each captain, as the
mustering officer approaches, brings his company to right shoulder
arms, and commands: _ATTENTION TO MUSTER_.
The mustering officer or captain then calls the names on the roll;
each man, as his name is called, answers _Here_ and brings his piece
to order arms.
After muster, the mustering officer, accompanied by the company
commanders and such other officers as he may designate, verifies the
presence of the men reported in hospital, on guard, etc.
757. A company may be mustered in the same manner on its own parade
ground, the muster to follow the company inspection.
HONORS AND SALUTES.
758. Further rules governing honors, courtesies, etc., are prescribed
in Army Regulations.
759. (1) Salutes shall be exchanged between officers and enlisted men
not in a military formation, nor at drill, work, games, or mess, on
every occasion of their meeting, passing near or being addressed, the
officer junior in rank or the enlisted man saluting first.
(2) When an officer enters a room where there are several enlisted
men, the word "attention" is given by some one who perceives him, when
all rise, uncover, and remain standing at attention until the officer
leaves the room or directs otherwise. Enlisted men at meals stop
eating and remain seated at attention.
(3) An enlisted man, if seated, rises on the approach of an officer,
faces toward him, stands at attention, and salutes. Standing he faces
an officer for the same purpose. If the parties remain in the same
place or on the same ground, such compliments need not be repeated.
Soldiers actually at work do not cease work to salute an officer
unless addressed by him.
(4) Before addressing an officer, an enlisted man makes the prescribed
salute with the weapon with which he is armed, or, if unarmed, with
the right hand. He also makes the same salute after receiving a reply.
(5) In uniform, covered or uncovered, but not in formation, officers
and enlisted men salute military persons as follows: Wit
