As the guard team is lined up side by side positioned at the highest or lowest point of ground to me seen. The commander will go to the position of Attention, and say "Standby, Honor Guard- Attention" then commander will issue the next command of "Port-Arms" where the squad will bring the rifle to a 45 degree angle 4 inches from his-her chest, the next commands are issued as "Ready" firing squad takes a step forward with the left foot only "Aim" the squad brings rifles up to between a 15 and 35 degree angle and brings their head to the rifle ad if they are aiming the weapon and index finger is on the trigger"Fire" all 7 squad members fire weapons at the same time which takes time to get it in sync. And the last command is "Reset" in which in sequence the squad will return left foot to go to position of attention however remain at port arms, as soon as they snap back to attention they will grab the magazine well with non firing hand and with the firing hand pull the charging handle to the rear and release all at the same time where all commands then start from "ready". If taps is to be played after the last command of"Reset" is called and the squad is at attention at port arms the commander will call "Present- Arms" when taps is over the commander will quietly call "Order-Arms", "Right-Face" then "Forward-March" and commander will quietly march the squad out of the area.
