Information About

Military Brace




The position is described as first standing in a relaxed posture, with the head looking forward, then depressing and retracting the shoulders as if standing at attention, extending the Humerus and Abduct ing it 30 Degree s, and hyperextending the neck and head.1 A more informal description is to lie down on the floor on one's back and try to touch the floor with the back of one's neck, which will force one's chin down; and then to attempt to imitate that position whilst standing up or sitting.2

VMI and The Citadel are the only military schools which still enforce bracing.
