What Is Color Guard?

Color Guard is a ceremonial team that presents the colors in accordance with military customs and courtesies. Cadets perform precise movements while maintaining proper posture, timing, and respect for the flags.

Color Guard activities may include:

• Presenting the colors at school and community events

• Participating in NJROTC competitions

• Performing ceremonial sequences with rifles and flags

Color Guard members are held to high standards and are expected to:

• Maintain excellent uniform appearance at all times

• Demonstrate discipline, respect, and professionalism

• Attend practices and events consistently and on time

• Follow commands precisely and work as a team

• Show proper respect for the colors at all times

Because Color Guard represents the unit in public, cadets must be dependable, motivated, and committed to upholding NJROTC standards.
