U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Firing Party members fire a three-round volley during training on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C., March 3, 2026. Historically, three volleys of rifle fire indicated that casualties had been cared for in a combat environment and that the fighting could resume. These volleys became an official military custom that survives to this day. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Brandon Thomas)
