- The US Army firing cannons at Arlington National Cemetery.
"The "Guns" Platoon currently assigned to HHC 1st Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard) has been located on Ft. Myer since 1953. The platoon is equipped with 10 guns and uses batteries composed of two, three, or four guns to render honors in ceremonies on behalf of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Batteries fire at all general officer funerals in Arlington National Cemetery, wreath-laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and arrivals and departures of foreign dignitaries at Fort Myer, the Pentagon, the White House, and Andrews Air Force Base. Every year the Presidential Salute Battery joins the National Symphony Orchestra on the 4th of July to perform the 1812 Overture as it was originally written. Noteworthy ceremonies include the following: participation in every Presidential Inauguration since President Eisenhower's in 1956, President Kennedy's, Reagan's Ford's, and Nixon's state funeral, the internment of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam unknowns."
This is so cool, i hope this practice is continued to honor our veterans
Was at Arlington and saw this in person it was awesome
Heard this this morning near my apt. Scared the crap outta me!
17 Guns, 5 sec interval.
Why canons are blown in presidential swear ceremony...any specific reason behind it??
Is this part of the Changing of the Guard Ceremony?
No that's its own thing. The changing of the guards is the tomb of the unknown soldiers.
what Canyons was used in the ceremony
When are nine (9) second intervals used?
Different ranks warrant different number of shots -- the higher the rank, the more shots topping out at 21 for the President
@@arlingtonmediacom please note, the question was regarding intervals between shots, not the quantity. Thank you.
Bump
@@Lagtime72 9 second intervals are used for funerals
Looking for the same answer....this looked like the intervals that were used for GB Sr. Funeral. If you find any answers let me know. I have only seen 9 second intervals once and I agree it's very strange.
Why 17 and not 21 gun salute
Regarding time between shots.
When are NINE SECOND INTERVALS prescirbed?
5 second for funerals
3 seconds for inaugurations
When are NINE SECONDS used?
title c in 600-25 army regulation manual states in title c of 3-3 that if there is less guns available the intervals are shorter.... there are only 2 active firing teams one cannon is left in reserve for misfires. kinda hard to do 3 sec intervals with only 2 fire teams.
@@thomaswennis thanks for the reference. I don't think it explains this instance, but at least there's plausible cause
@@Lagtime72 You can see the team practicing here on a different occasion.

there are 3 guns located at ANC.
Everything I referenced used five (5) second intervals. With the exception of innaguration uses three (3) second intervals. But I didn't see one of those this year either.
Thanks for the resources, S
Five seconds were also used in the practice session video below. The search continues.
Why is the 3rd cannon not fired?
It's waiting to go, ... in case one misfires.
Impressive but wish they had bigger guns so that even deaf nancy pelosi can hear it across the Potomac at the peoples house she thinks she owns.
Yells "Trump!" before every shot...
