What is the origin of the Salute?
The origin of the Hand Salute is uncertain. Some historians believe it began in late Roman times when assassinations
were common. A citizen who wanted to see a public official had to approach with his right hand raised to show that he did not hold a weapon. Knights in armor raised visors with the right hand when meeting a comrade. This practice gradually became a way of showing respect and, in early American history, sometimes involved removing the hat. By 1820, the motion was modified to touching the hat, and since then it has become the Hand Salute used today.

Describe the “Be, Know and Do”.
Army leadership begins with what the leader must BE, the values and attributes that shape a leader’s character. Your
skills are those things you KNOW how to do, your competence in everything from the technical side of your job to the people skills a leader requires. But character and knowledge while absolutely necessary are not enough. You cannot be effective, you cannot be a leader, until you apply what you know, until you act and DO what you must.
