 "The U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard has been part of Navy history since 1931 as they were first established as a temporary ceremonial detail at the Naval Gun Factory. They are stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and provide service in Presidential, Joint Armed Services, Navy, and public ceremonies including local and national holidays, armed forces observances, ship commissioning ceremonies, changes of command, and retirements.


Members of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard are comprised of the drill team, color guard, casket bearers, and firing party.


"We had 33 recruits interested in joining the guard; 25 of them were interviewed," said Master-at-Arms 1st Class Malart Cunningham, U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard Recruiting staff member. "In addition to looking at appearance, height, posture and confidence when selecting guard members, we also like to bring recruits with different backgrounds to bring in different aspects of life to the command."


Performing in numerous Joint Service and Navy ceremonies, the colors platoon members are hand selected. They must meet the 6 foot 2 inch height criteria and show an exceptional aptitude for military bearing.


Casket bearers carry the Navy's past to their resting ground. Whether it is in Arlington National Cemetery, or another veteran's cemetery, their mission is honoring those who have come before us.


The firing party renders 3 volleys, the signature honor of military funerals, during every Navy Funeral at Arlington National Cemetery."
