I've never deployed before until now, but was wondering what the proper protocol is if the Polish President were to visit the base I'm on while deployed. Would I say sir, or Mr. President? Do I salute? Any knowledge on the subject is appreciated. PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL SFC James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" LTC Stephen F. CPL Dave Hoover SGT David A.

SSG(P) (Join to see) wow it's been a minute, but always start out with the REGULATIONS. I found the following information:

Military courtesy AR- 600-20 ARMY COMMAND POLICY AND AR 600--25 LOOK AT CHAPTER 2.

https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/pdf/web/ARN20654_R600_25_Admin_FINAL.pdf

a. Courtesy among members of the Armed Forces is vital to maintain military discipline. Respect to seniors will be extended at all times (see AR 600–25).
b. The actions of military personnel will reflect respect to both the national anthem and the national colors. The courtesies listed in AR 600–25 should be rendered the national colors and national anthem at public events whether the Soldier is off or on duty, whether he or she is in or out of uniform. Intentional disrespect to the national colors or national anthem is conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline and discredits the military Service.

Your chain of command should brief you on protocol. If memory serves, US military members salute allied military and allied heads of state.
