If you've ever been in the military you know how hard this level of drill and ceremony really is.
My man I've never stepped foot on military sites and I know how hard this shit is💀
10 years in the ADF, that is some tight drill there.
it still looks silly as fuck
@@keeblerelf8997 yep.... is militaries purpose kill the enemy or impress/confuse them by acting like a robot... Absolute waste of time/training
@@hazelife7366 I guess you wouldn't understand the "honor" part of the honor guard.
Are we not gonna talk about the two short guys clearly disguised as the tall guard?
Stfu and put yourself in a T-shirt show some respect
THANK YOU!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
my exact thought lmao
My words
You got me fkn dying! 😂😂😂
The precise definition of precision, on full display, right here.
My dad (Vietnam Vet) and I flew with the Honor Guard and got to see this in person...if you ever get the chance, DO IT! Thank you dad, I love you!

That’s precision. The Changing of the Guard is a ceremony everyone should experience.
No war , thats everyone should experience.
No thxs.
My Dad is buried there with my Mom both World War II Vets. They are very safe now, Love you, Mom and Dad❤
Thank you for my freedom 🇺🇸
I bet your mom and dad are very proud of you :)
Thank you for my freedom from South Korea

Ditto my dad and mom. ❤ Arlington is so special.
That HIGHLY polished sidearm is nuts…the precision and detail that these guys have shows the respect for those who passed and they guard!!!
The sig came that way from the factory unfortunately
To anyone who was or is still in…thank you for you service. God bless you
Югославия, Вьетнам, Ирак, Сирия, … Нет уважения к военным США! Не в одну страну мира они не перенесли радости находясь за 1000 км от США!!! Даже во вторую мировую они вступили только после того когда СССР победили фашистов!!! А до этого просто зарабатывали на этой войне!!! США это страна терезирущия весь мир! И на Украине именно США устроило государственный переворот в 2014 году!!!
You are welcome and GOD Bless you as well.
Tradition, precision, discipline
Greatest military in the world
Такая и должна быть армия.. Без боли. без смерти.

yes but what would armies be used for then? They are used to wage war and if we were at peace, we would no longer need soldiers and that would be wonderful
My dad is buried there and I’ve watched the changing of the guard myself. Stills gives me chills to see it. Thank you for the precision and honor you afforded all of our veterans!
I'm a British and Canadian army veteran. Visited there once and was absolutely impressed with the level of pride and dedication of these young men. They do their army, country and the soldiers they guard proud. Brought a tear to this old soldiers eye for sure.
La wea cuadrada
I do not want to sound like an ass, an insesitive prick or cruel. But, if its the tomb of the unknown soldier and you know your dad is buried there.. isnt he known? I thought this was for unidentified soldiers.
@@richardwroblewski8458in the surrounding burial grounds
@@richardwroblewski8458 The tomb has the remains of an unknown soldier that is guarded year round. This is an honor to all soldiers that have gone in to battle for our country
I’ve been to the Arlington Cemetery myself, saw the guards changing.. The silence there is deafening, and the graves look like wild ocean waters, all over the place. It really makes you think about the sacrifices those who came before a have made, laying down their lives so that we may have a cushy life.
Bro why you watch them change ?
@@jimgoodman6798 it’s more of a ceremonial duty rather than actually guarding the tomb, and people come from all over the world to see it since it only happens at noon and midnight ((I think))
Der/Die sollen mal die Sonnenbrillen abnehmen...dann sehen Sie auch was!
@@ArgonIstenem Not just ceremonial. get your facts right..... look it up. Before you make a fool of yourself. USA
@@chadroberts1880 ...If you pay attention, I say it's "MORE OF" a ceremonial duty, which means that I'm not neglecting the fact that it's also a job of literally guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I don't need to get my facts right, you just need to be able to read properly.
P.S: For the record, I live in the US.
너무너무 멋있어요
그만큼노력한 결실이겠지요

A UK citizen here. This is precision of the highest order. Full respect for the drill sergeant and all who those ex service personnel who sacrificed their lives and current service personnel who sacrifice their lives daily in defence of freedom not just the US forces but the UK forces. We're proud of all you do.
Thankyou.

ЭТО ДУРДОМ
I went on a Grade School field trip to Washington DC when I was in 4th grade in 1973.. We didn't get to see the Changing of the Guard. But I remember feeling proud and honored to just be there.. 🇺🇲

May our heavenly Father care for each of you every second of your lives. Thank you for your service. God bless each of you❤
Saw this when I was 14. I was so impressed, I convinced my family to wait around so I could watch the whole thing a 2nd time.
You are one of the lucky one to witness this in person. Until you see it in person, a video does not convey the pride you feel from being there
pathetic
Nice glasses
There is no such clowning in the Russian army.
You show disrespect @fedoseypokrishkin543 . This is to show the skill and care to the weapon used to protect those who died unknown protecting your right to be an idiot.
The action of rifle inspection is almost robotic it’s that flawless incredible discipline and dedication I’m from Uk but HOOYAHH to these dudes 🔥🔥
There was no exchange here. The tall guy had it at the beginning and the end, so I don't understand.
@@gadgetroyster duly noted wrong wording thanks big brains on bread 🧠 🍞
I was there at 8 years old. Never have forgotten... The fallen soldier 🪖❤
There are those who will never appreciate this honorable sacred display of respect, & commitment. It is awesome, and as a Vet, it still brings tears to my weary soul.
Honer & respect always.... sadly lacking here in the UK . From a brother 🇬🇧

Que frescura,que idiotice,e quem paga essa besteira sempre é o povo
why a veterinarian is affected by this ?
As an Army Veteran, I feel the same way.
Holy cpw, that is the shiniest sidearm I've ever seen!
Not a threat, not a button, not a millimeter of metal out of place on that uniform.
Such true respect and dedication!
They have to polish all of their gear themselves, when I was on a tour of D.C. my tour guide was one of those Honor Guards, and he told us that when he did it, they had to polish everything, no stay shiny brass or anything, everything is hand polished
Tomb Sentinels will spend upwards of eight hours preparing their uniform and rifle before each shift and everything has to be perfect. They will even use a ruler to make sure their pins/insignia are exactly where they are supposed to be and a lighter to get rid of the smallest stray thread. This inspection while it looks ceremonial is a real inspection and if some part of the Sentinel's uniform is incorrect they are silently dismissed back to the barracks (the Sargeant comes up on their left side instead of their right as usual and that's the signal they failed the inspection).
Perfection in everything they do is extremely important to the members of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, the Army unit the Tomb Sentinels belong to. Every part of standing watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is perfectly choreographed. They take 21 perfect steps, face the tomb for 21 seconds, turn and stand for 21 seconds before taking 21 steps the other way and doing it again. They only break stride and step off the mat to admonish anyone being disrespectful (such as by speaking loudly) or trespassing in the cordoned off area of the tomb.
When Arlington is open they stand 30 minute watches in the summer and 1 hour watches in the winter and, I believe 1 hour watches at night before the changing of the guard (as seen partially here, the inspection is part of the ceremony). They stand watch and walk the mat 24/7/365 no matter the weather. Heat, cold, rain, snow, even hurricanes doesn't matter, they are standing watch and have since April 6, 1948. This is completely voluntary, in severe weather they are permitted to stand in a small shelter near the tomb or possibly retreat to a post underneath the viewing area but they choose to continue walking the mat. This shelter is also where the on duty Sentinel will stand during special ceremonies, such as a wreath laying or the ceremony held for Sentinels leaving the Guard.
Tomb Sentinels do not wear rank insignia while standing watch so that they do not out rank the unknown soldier in the tomb. The Sargeant (the person performing the inspection) will when leading the guard change but when they walk the mat themselves they wear a uniform with no rank insignia.
If you haven't I highly recommend you watch at least one of the many videos on this platform of the entire changing of the guard. It's an amazing and moving ceremony. Everything is perfectly timed and the two Sentinels (the one coming off watch and the one going on watch) and the Sargeant march perfectly in time even when not right beside each other. Their steps are so perfect you can literally see the rust stains in the concrete from the probably millions of perfect steps of the Sentinels over the many decades caused by the metal on the soles of their shoes.
Sentinels are considered the best of the best and while many may apply few are chosen for training and most will fail. They are required to know over 60 pages of information about the Tomb and Arlington National Cemetery word perfect and continuously train and practice when not standing watch or performing some other duty. The Tomb Sentinel Badge is the third rarest US Military badge (only the Army Astronaut badge and Military Horseman badge are rarer) with only 864 issued as of March 2024. It is also the only badge that can be revoked even after the individual leaves not only the Tomb Sentinels but even the military, by disgracing themselves in some way that brings dishonor on the Tomb.
These are also real soldiers, many of whom have seen actual combat or will when they leave the Sentinels, and they take their duty to the country and to the Tomb very seriously.
While the Tomb originally held four sets of remains (soldiers from WWI, WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War, it currently only holds the remains of the WWI soldier as modern technology allowed the others to be identified and relocated to a marked grave of their own. All four soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor by the president who presided over their funeral, the highest award in the US military, and the WWI soldier has also been awarded the Victoria Cross (highest award in British Armed Forces) and the highest awards of various other countries. The Tomb also doesn't just honor the soldier interred within, it honors every US soldier to fall in battle whose remains were not identified, whether they were returned to the US or if they are buried in a foreign cemetery under a headstone that says Unknown or their remains never located.

Right.. The extended magazine just makes it way more intimidating.

My Dad (Navy), Mom, and Brother are all buried at Arlington. I've always felt so proud of dad's 32-year service and the honor of them having such a beautiful resting place together.
I tear up every time man
You should see what happens to the real veterans when they come back. You’ll weep.
It's beautiful and just so perfect. My daddy had told me some unbelievable stories but it wasn't until I got older that I understood it all. He literally did fight for his family and country. He's now buried at the National Cemetery here in Chattanooga and I visit him regularly with my own children and I now share his stories with them. ❤❤❤

That exchange is so crisp🙏🏾🙏🏼
That's really crazy how clean and fast they moves are. Respect bros
The way he collected d gun was fast & smooth. Damn!
Very moving to visit this place in person. God bless the unknown soldier(s). And in fact all those who leave this earth unknown.
I was sponsored by a local company, to make the Washington DC trip on a train, with my seventh grade Safety Patrols Group. I'll never forget that trip. We were fortunate to have wonderful weather, got to see the White House, the Senate the Lincoln memorial, the Washington memorial, and the tomb of the unknown soldier. Fabulous trip. These soldiers are on a different level and are due respect. Thank you to ALL soldiers. They put their life at risk to serve this country.

Nope that is a rifle remember what the gunny taught ya! This is my rifle THIS is my gun😂

The most difficult job out there being honor guard have to know every day what step they on change over and much much more respect to these men
I don’t know what I’m watching but it’s calming my brain
It’s the tomb of the unknown soldier. They are some of the best trained American soldiers. They are doing an inspection of uniform and service weapon to make sure it clean
It is the changing of the guards at the unknown soldier memorial in DC. They change every 30 minutes 24/7

I was in the 289th military police company that patrolled myer and Arlington national Cemetery. This is speed up a bit, but still has the same wow effect. The uniform is the most impressive part. Days,weeks,months fixing every imperfection and it could always be better.
Right on brother! I was also a 95b in my career. Assist, Protect, Defend. Unfortunately I only get 60 seconds to get it all in too. Thanks for watching
Impressive in person as it is on YT!!! Soldier on brothers!!!
Thank you🇺🇸
nothing on this is impressive. its pathetic
There is no such clowning in the Russian army.
Simply awesome 😢RESPECT provided solemnly to those UNKNOWN that gave the ultimate sacrifice protecting our USA. TY.
I can't remember seeing any machine the size of a man execute so many moves with such precision and grace as that soldier!
Ice cold movements with laser precision
Like the photographer in the Background. 😏
These will never get old

Impressive. The countless hours of practice it takes to make that look so precise in honor of those that made the ultimate sacrifice. It's clear they know what's required. Its on my bucket list to see them in person.
Very Very well done, the unknown soldier would be proud
The 3rd Infantry Regiment is the unit that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. The regiment is nicknamed "The Old Guard" and they've been guarding it since 1948. It is the highest honor to be chosen as a guard. Much respect to them.
Охраняют от кого?
It is a symbol of the utmost respect for what was given to protect the freedom of our country...a sign of the greatest
gratitude that lives were given to protect us. When someone lays down their life to protect others, it should be remembered for all eternity. It should be remembered. I never forgotten.

There are picked based on looks and they are garrison soliders. We had one transfer to my infantry unit. He was about usless as a solider. All uniform and no actually war talents. But hey, at least there pretty.😅
When i was there, I got chills, then tears. It really hits you in the heart! Thank you for honoring our soldiers.
No you didn't.
I have seen this ine 3 times in my life. It never ceases to move me to tears.
As far as I know, my father was a part of the only all Marine service at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier when he was at 8th & I back in the 60's. He was also on The Death Watch after President Kennedy was assassinated. His sword is on display at The Sixth Floor Museum.
This never gets old, the precise movements and the display of pride is unparalleled. God bless America!

To what end though.

Very nice job very precise look at how beautiful that side piece is on his hip just wow

One of the crispiest inspections I’ve seen!
Beautifully done. Clean , precise and sharp. Irony is this is for a dead unknown soldier. Those known and broken but not dead are left to live in squalor and poverty. This in essence is the definition of performative. Polishes shoes and bayonets for the dead and unknown. Filthy shoes and dirty spoons for the broken and the undead.
Not A unknown soldier, it's dedicated to ALL the remains of soldiers not identified.

Just amazing and such a beautiful mark of respect ❤Lest we forget ❤
Confidence another level 💯
Being a veteran it was my dream to go to the Tomb of the Unknown soldier and I will never forget how disciplined these great soldiers are. They guard the tomb 24/7 and in inclement weather they have a small hut to get out of the rain. The guards are rotated every 4 hrs. It's quite amazing. 🇺🇸
They're not living their life. Robots, no emotions. Life not worth living 😢
If you have never been there to see this, just needs to be at the top of your bucket list. Take tissue or at least wear a long sleeve.❤

Look how beautiful that side arm is, incredible how shiny it is, I couldn't stop looking at it like once I noticed. This is breathtaking to watch!
These are custom made M17 pistols (4 of them) made specifically for the tomb guards, I highly advise looking it up as there is an astounding amount of detail put into these.. for example; "each of the four pistols bears the name of Silence, Respect, Dignity, or Perseverance and is featured on the dust cover." (taken from militarytimes website)
No practical effect, pattern

Excuse me, but what is this being done for? What kind of military training does this demonstrate?
@@purpfoub It´s the weapon check at the tomb of the unknown soldier. From military perspective the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country deserve only the best and perfection. Therefore this super tight movement. If you think about it, it´s a pretty beautiful concept. And somehow always reminds me how far US have come in terms of traditions and how far Germany has fallen in the same field...
