15. MILITARY COURTESY. Various forms of courtesy have become military customs
and traditions. It is important to render a proper hand salute and greeting of the day .
a.
USaluting.U The exchange of a salute is one of the oldest traditions in the military anda visible sign of good discipline and mutual respect.
(1) Saluting Senior Officers. Salutes and salutations (greetings) are rendered
by enlisted personnel to commissioned and warrant officers and by junior officers to
seniors. All Soldiers render the salute unless it would be impractical (e.g., arms full of
packages) and exchange verbal greetings or the unit motto or “Climb to Glory” followed
by “Sir” or “Ma’am” as appropriate. The return greeting is” To the Top!”
(2) In the Field. Saluting is mandatory during training exercises following the
same rules as in garrison.
(3) Senior Officer Staff Cars. Be alert for General and other senior officers’
vehicles identified by a red plate depicting their rank and headlights on. You must
render a salute to these officers as they pass.
(4) Reveille. Played at 0600 daily. When outside, in duty or APFT uniforms
and not in formation, face the flag or music and render a salute on the first note.
Remain at “present arms” until the last note has been played. In civilian clothes, stand
at “Attention” and place the right hand over the heart (or headgear over the left
shoulder if worn) until the last note is played.
(5) Retreat/To The Colors. Played at 1700 daily. This tradition is celebrated in
two distinct parts; the bugle call of “Retreat” followed by “To The Colors.” When
outside, in uniform and not in formation, face toward the Colors or music and assume
the position of “Attention” on the first note of Retreat. Remain at this position and
render the hand salute on the first note of “To The Colors.” In civilian clothes, stand at
“Attention” during “Retreat” and place the right hand over the heart (or headgear over
the left shoulder if worn) on the first note of “To the Colors.” If indoors and you hear
these songs played, (regardless of the worn uniform) stand at position of “Attention”
and remain at that position until the music ends.
(6) National Anthem. When outside, in uniform and not in formation, face
toward the Colors or music, assume the position of “Attention” and render the hand
salute on the first note of the music. In civilian clothes, stand at “Attention” and place
the right hand over the heart (or headgear over the left shoulder if worn) on the first
note. If indoors and you hear the National Anthem played, (regardless of the worn
uniform or clothing) stand at position of “Attention” facing the music or Color and
remain at that position until the music ends.
NOTE: When any of the ceremonial songs above are played/heard, all vehicles in the
area will stop, dismount the vehicle, and render the proper courtesy. Civilians are
expected to place their right hand over their hearts.
b.
UCustoms and Courtesy.(1) The first person to sight an officer who is higher in rank than the officer
present in the room should call “Attention.” When a senior noncommissioned officer
enters a room/area, sound “At Ease.” Examples are unit headquarters, orderly rooms,
20
10TH MTN DIV (LI) & FT DRUM PAM 600-5supply rooms, dayrooms, squad rooms, and hallways. The senior Soldier present in
the area should then report to the visitor (example: SGT Jones, NCOIC of the motor
pool, reports). In smaller rooms, containing one or two Soldiers, the Soldier(s) should
rise and stand at the position of attention when an officer enters the room.
(2) In work areas such as offices, shops, hangers, and medical treatment
facilities, personnel can remain working but the senior Soldier will report to the visiting
officer.
(3) Dining Facilities. The first person sighting an officer senior in rank to the unit
commander or senior to those present in the dining facility should call “At ease” so that
the officer’s presence is known and necessary action can be taken. The Soldiers
should fall silent but continue to work or eat. The senior dining facility OIC or NCOIC
should report to the officer.
(4) During Conversations. All Soldiers, officer or enlisted, come to the position
of attention facing a senior officer when spoken to in an official capacity. Normally the
senior officer will direct “At ease” or “Carry on” if the situation merits. At other times,
such as during the conduct of routine business or informal conversation, a junior officer
or enlisted Soldier should face the superior officer and be at “Attention.” When an
enlisted Soldier is speaking to a noncommissioned officer, the Soldier stands at
“Parade Rest” unless otherwise directed by the NCO. A subordinate will stand when
spoken to by someone senior in rank, unless the superior directs otherwise. When
walking with a senior Soldier, the junior Soldier walks to the senior’s left side.
(5) In Formation. When an officer approaches Soldiers in a formation, the
person in charge calls, “Attention,” and renders a salute for the entire group.
When an officer senior in rank approaches a group of individuals not in formation, the
first person sighting the officer calls, “Group Attention,” and everyone in the group
faces the officer and renders a salute with the appropriate greeting. However, Soldiers
working as part of the detail or participating in some other group activity such as
athletics do not salute. The person in charge, if not actively engaged, salutes for the
entire detail or a group of Soldiers.
16. SINGLE ENLISTED SOLDIER INITIATIVE POLICY. Commanders are

without regard to their sex, race, religion, or ethnic background. This includes not
being sexually harassed. Sexual harassment is any Soldier or civilian employee who
through behavior of a sexual nature attempts to control, influence, or affect the career,
pay, or job of a Soldier or civilian employee, or make deliberate or repeated verbal
comments or gestures of a sexual nature that are offensive to the person to whom
addressed, or makes abusive physical contact of a sexual nature.
a. Some points to consider:
(1). Sexual harassment is punishable under UCMJ.
(2). Anybody can do it; anyone can be a victim.
(3). It can happen anywhere, not just in the workplace.

(1). Immediately upon notification of or allegation of sexual assault involving
Soldiers or family members, commanders will notify the Directorate of Emergency
Services 911 Communication Center by dialing 911 if the incident is in progress or
772-5156/5157 if the incident is not in progress.
(2). Commanders will also notify their Command Judge Advocate or Trial
Counsel.
(3). Once notified, Military Police (MP) will respond with appropriate law
enforcement assets to secure the crime scene and protect evidence. Military Police
will immediately notify Military Police investigators (MPI) and Criminal Investigation
Division (CID) for investigative resources. CID will be the lead agency and will follow
their established protocol for the investigation of sexual assault incidents.
(4). As a part of the normal investigative process, the chain of command will
ensure the victim is treated with dignity and respect and all information will be
restricted to "need to know" only. CID coordinates for medical examinations and with
social service intervention agencies, provides preliminary notification to the victim of
his or her rights under the Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP), and provides
the victim with the Fort Drum point of contact for the VWAP.
23
10TH MTN DIV (LI) & FT DRUM PAM 600-5c. Commanders are reminded that sexual assault incidents are sensitive issues and
must be addressed immediately and with care. Fort Drum Law Enforcement has wellestablished
procedures for the investigation and immediate social work intervention of
sexual assault incidents. Commanders can call Military Police at
772-4483/9090 or the Equal Employment Opportunity Office at 772-6565 for more indepth

10TH MTN DIV (LI) & FT DRUM PAM 600-5Brief History of the 10
th Mountain DivisionThe Light Infantry 10
th Mountain Division draws upon the record of valor established by the 10thMountain Alpine Division in World War II. In the first four months of 1945 the 10
th MountainDivision played a critical role in achieving victory in Italy, and its unique talents and training
proved invaluable in the mountains of Northern Italy. On the night of February 18-19, 1945 the
86
th Infantry Regiment executed a daring nighttime attack on Riva Ridge. Calling upon theirexhaustive mountain training, the division attacked up five steep mountain faces, including two
that required the use of fixed ropes. On April 14, 1945 the division launched another series of
attacks in Northern Italy, spearheading the U.S. 5
th Army’s attack by 24 hours. In the singleheaviest day of fighting ever encountered by the Mountain Division, PFC John Magrath,
Company G, 85
th Infantry won the Medal of Honor for capturing four enemy machine guns andvolunteering to attack another one.
The modern 10
th Mountain Division was re-activated at Fort Drum, New York on February 13,1985.
Although the 10
th Mountain Division did not deploy to Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm in1990-1991, the division’s 548
th Supply and Services Battalion provided maintenance,engineering and other logistical support to the combat operations that liberated Kuwait.
The division’s first major deployment was a humanitarian relief mission to south Florida in the
fall of 1992 to assist with recovery from Hurricane Andrew. Months later, the division deployed
to Somalia to help feed a starving nation, and the Golden Dragons of 2-14 Infantry formed the
rescue convoy that fought to save the American soldiers in the City of Mogadishu in the
operation later made famous by the movie “Black Hawk Down.” The Division returned
democracy to Haiti by spearheading Operation Uphold Democracy in 1994. Between 1997 and
2000 the 10
th Mountain Division continued to support peacekeeping and peace enforcementoperations around the world, serving with the Multinational Force and Observers in the Sinai
Desert to maintain peace between Israel and Egypt, and on various operations in Bosnia and
Kosovo.
In October 2001 the 1
st Brigade’s 1-87 Infantry Battalion deployed to Uzbekistan, and inNovember 2001, elements of the battalion deployed to Bagram and Mazar-Shariff in
Afghanistan and fought in Operation Anaconda. They were the first conventional forces
deployed into Afghanistan. Portions of the division were deployed in Afghanistan through
September 2002. Since then, the division has served with distinction in Kuwait, Afghanistan
and the Horn of Africa as part of Operation Enduring Freedom; and in Iraq as part of Operation
Iraqi Freedom.
In May 2003 the Mountain Division returned to Afghanistan to assist the newly organized nation,
a mission that continued through April 2004. 10th Mountain Division Headquarters assumed
command and control duties of Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) 180 in May 2003; and 80%
of the Division Staff deployed through April 2004 in support of operations in Afghanistan
(Operation Enduring Freedom 4). 1
st and Aviation Brigades followed beginning in July 2003.The Mountain Division has also been actively involved in Iraq. 1-32 Infantry, then with the 1
stBrigade, fought in Iraq from August 2003 to August 2004. Between June 2004 and June 2005
the 2
nd Brigade deployed as a component of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) to assist withstabilization and security operations in Iraq.
APPENDIX A
27
10TH MTN DIV (LI) & FT DRUM PAM 600-5While serving in OIF, the 2
nd Brigade Combat Team (BCT) assisted with the first democraticelections ever held in Iraq on January 30, 2005. Sixty percent of the citizens in the Commando
Brigade sector voted in this election, with some citizens walking nearly twenty kilometers to
place their ballots. Insurgents launched attacks in the 2
nd BCT sector in attempts to disrupt theelection, which proceeded unhindered as a result of the brigade’s intensive and successful
security efforts.
Between July 2005 and July 2006 the 1
st BCT was also deployed to Iraq. In January 2006 theMountain Division returned to Afghanistan for the third time, deploying Division Headquarters,
3
rd BCT, Combat Aviation Brigade, and Sustainment Brigade. During this deployment thedivision successfully implemented civil military operations such as Mountain Lamb, which has
provided humanitarian assistance to the citizens of Afghanistan; constructed more than three
hundred miles of roads in southern and eastern Afghanistan at a cost of $90,000,000 with more
road projects in progress; and established twenty Provincial Coordination Centers and 45
District Coordination Centers to provide Afghanistan provincial and district leaders with facilities
to coordinate security operations and emergency services. The Division also instituted focused
counterinsurgency operations to deny insurgents safe havens in Afghanistan, to remove their
presence from Afghanistan communities, and to facilitate the establishment of an effective
government presence throughout the nation. The Division executed four significant combat
operations in twelve months- Operations Mountain Lion in the Pech Valley and Kunar Province
in April and May, Mountain Thrust in Helmand Province in June and July, Mountain Fury in the
eastern provinces through the fall months, and finally Mountain Eagle to set conditions for future
progress. Other accomplishments include assisting with the construction and establishment of
numerous schools; organization, training and equipping of Afghanistan National Army and
Police units; and implementation of effective agricultural and business development. The
division returned in February 2007.
The 2
nd BCT returned to Iraq in August 2006. In May 2007, the division’s 3rd BCT remainsdeployed in Afghanistan, and the 2
nd BCT continues the mission in Iraq.Since 1941, the Mountain Division has regularly fought at altitudes above 10,000 feet in
Afghanistan, and in temperatures ranging from sub-zero in Afghanistan to 130 degrees in the
Middle Eastern deserts of Iraq and Kuwait. The division has fought in urban environments
such as Mogadishu and Baghdad, in jungle environments in Haiti, in the mountains of Italy and
Afghanistan, and in the deserts of the Sinai and Afghanistan. The division has fought in snow
in Afghanistan, in mud and rain in Italy, and underneath the blazing sun of the Middle East.
The division has climbed fixed ropes up mountain cliffs to assault the enemy in Italy, launched
the first helicopter borne air assault from a US Navy Aircraft Carrier in Haiti, and has fought on
the land, air and sea from 1945 to 2007. Mountain Soldiers continue the mission to safeguard
freedom and liberty for the American, Afghan, and Iraqi people.

CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR
In the shadow of Monte dells Spe, on a hill that had no name, only a number—Hill
909 -- many men lost their lives on 14 April 1945, a day of incredible courage and
carnage. PFC John D. Magrath, from East Norwalk, Connecticut, and assigned to
Company G, Second Battalion, 85th Mountain Infantry Regiment, became the
division’s only Medal of Honor recipient. Magrath’s company commander, CPT Otis
Halvorson, was killed by machine-gun fire. Lts Dalton Clark, John Clayton, and Jay
Tenebaum, also of Company G, were wounded. Shortly after the company had
crossed the line of departure, it came under intense enemy fire and Captain Halvorson
was killed. Volunteering to accompany the acting CO with a small reconnaissance
party, radioman Magrath set out with the group. After going only a few yards, the party
was pinned down.
G.O. No.: 71, 17 July 1946. Citation: Private First Class Magrath, radio operator
Company G, 85th Mountain Infantry Regiment, on 14 April 1945 displayed
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty when his
company was pinned down by heavy artillery, mortar, and small-arms fire, near Castle
d’Aiano, Italy. Volunteering to act as a scout, armed with only a rifle, he charged
headlong into withering fire, killing 2 Germans and wounding 3 in order to capture a
machine-gun. Carrying this enemy weapon across an open field through heavy fire, he
neutralized 2 more machine-gun nests; he then circled behind 4 other Germans, killing
them with a burst as they were firing on his company.
Spotting another dangerous enemy position to the right, he knelt with the machinegun
in his arms and exchanged fire with the Germans until he had killed 2 and
wounded 3. The enemy now poured increased mortar and artillery fire on the
company’s newly won position.
PFC Magrath fearlessly volunteered again to brave the shelling in order to collect a
report of casualties. Heroically carrying out this task, he made the supreme sacrifice—
a climax to the valor and courage that are in keeping with the highest traditions of the
military service.
