Please review the attached.

Highlights:  Basic Red MCL Covers only (no Department or National-level covers); no collars (MODD or MOY/AMOY collars); either all members wear ribbons or all members do not wear ribbons...cannot have some wearing ribbons and some not wearing ribbons; Name tags ARE NOT authorized while performing Color Guard Detail.  Emphasis is on uniformity. Refer to section for inclement weather policy.

There is much more in this 45-page document, and all Detachments should be thoroughly familiar with this document prior to their next detail.

This document also references the Marine Corps Drill and Ceremonies Manual, MCO 5060.20 (specifically for manual of arms), and the 2024 National MCL Administrative Procedures (Encl 3).  Please ensure your detachments are familiar with these two additional references prior to their next detail.
