Types of Reviews

A review is a military ceremony used to:

(1) Honor a visiting, high-ranking commander, official, or dignitary, and/or permit them to observe the state of training of a command.

(2) Present decorations and awards.

(3) Honor or recognize unit or individual achievements.

(4) Commemorate events.

Normally, a review is conducted with a battalion or larger troop unit. However, a composite or representative element consisting of two or more platoons may serve the same purpose. A review consists of the following steps in sequence:

(1) Formation of troops.

(3) Inspection.

(4) Honors to the nation.

(5) Remarks.

(6) March in review.

(7) Conclusion.

The inspection stage may be omitted for decorations, awards, or individual recognition ceremonies. Other ceremonial activities that may be incorporated within the framework of a review are:

(1) Review with decorations, awards, and individual retirement.

(2) Review with change of command, activation, or inactivation of units.

(3) Review with retreat.

(4) Review with retreat and retirement, decorations, and awards.
