<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Absolutely! As they do for us as well. Never had any issues with Troops of other countries.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, you salute officers from allied nations. <br /><br />Return any salute you receive.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes - if you recognize them as such. The cavart being you use US military rules in your saluting - not theirs. Such as when an NCO is in charge of a formation and turns the formation (formally) over to another NCO - they salute.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Near the barracks for the Ft. Bliss NCOA there is a detachment of Japanese soldiers. Their officers wore the US equivalent rank ( 2LT, CPT etc). We weren’t briefed on what to do so I saluted an officer wearing ASU brass CPT rank. He quickly, and somewhat sheepishly, returned it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. What I always found interesting is that if you are a POW, you even salute enemy officers.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends on their rules and requirements and location . at SHAPE (international) there was no saluting at all so as to not attract &#39;enemy&#39; attention to the rank of a person .

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When in doubt, whip it out.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Friendly countries...yes--provided you can figure out who they are. I got so anxious over NATO relationshios I started saluting American Airline pilots.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had several foreign deployments in Latin America and was pretty familiar with their rank structure. In El Salvador I had a gold star over my pocket which was the equivalent of a US Army Major so the Salvadoran soldiers would recognize my rank.
