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.

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. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 06 Jan 2019 22:06:21 -0500 2019-01-06T22:06:21-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/do-i-render-and-return-salute-to-the-soldiers-officers-of-other-countries?n=4267128&urlhash=4267128 <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. SGT Matthew S.

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.
