Military courtesy is an extension and a formalization of courtesies practiced in a culture's everyday life. It is intended to reinforce discipline and the Chain Of Command , defining how soldiers will treat their superiors and vice versa. They are also thought to enhance Esprit De Corps . Some military courtesies include proper forms of address ("Sir", "Ma'am", "Mister") and when each should be used; the Salute , and the related concept of standing At Attention ; proper wear of military Headgear ; Obeisance ; and the rules for behavior in various Ceremonies . Appropriate behavior can vary depending on an individual's Rank , location, and circumstances. A military funeral, for example, requires stricter etiquette than a normal day. Courtesies are sometimes relaxed under battlefield conditions; an officer may discourage salutes in combat areas to avoid making themselves targets for snipers. Military courtesies may also be adopted by Paramilitary organizations. REFERENCES
