escort commands PRESENT ARMS. The escort and color guard salute, and the band or orchestras the "National Anthem." The senior colonel of the escort then commands ORDER, ARMS. The escort comes to the order and the color guard returns to right shoulder arms. The color guard then marches forward to the end of the line of escorts, countermarches, and marches back down the line of escorts to a position in front of the drummers and trumpeters, then executes a second countermarch and halts. The color guard then executes left and right step, halting in front of the drummers and trumpeters. g. The field music sounds "Attention." The band or orchestra plays "The Marines’ Hymn" and the cake escorts (four second lieutenants) enter the ballroom. Between them they push a serving cart on which are placed the birthday cake and a Marine sword. The adjutant follows the cake. The cake escorts slowly roll the cake down the line of escorts to a position in front of the commanding general. The cake escorts then sidestep 1 pace) halt, and face inboard toward the cake. The band or orchestra ceases playing. The adjutant faces about and reads the traditional birthday message. He then retires by marching the length of the ballroom. h. The commanding general steps forward, gives a short talk on the significance of the Marine Corps birthday, and introduces the guest of honor, if one is present. The guest of honor then makes a few remarks. When the addresses are completed, the senior cake escort steps forward, takes the sword from the cake cart, and passes it over his left forearm, grip forward, to the commanding general. The band or orchestra plays "Auld Lang Syne" while the first slice of cake is being cut. The commanding general places the first slice of cake on a plate handed to him by one of the cake escorts, and passes the plate to the guest of honor. After tasting the cake, the guest of honor returns the plate to one of the escorts who places it on the serving cart. The commanding general then cuts and presents pieces of cake to the oldest Marine present and the youngest Marine present, in that order. i. Upon completion of this part of the ceremony) the color guard, upon order of the color sergeant, closes by executing right and left step and comes to right shoulder arms. The color sergeant commands FORWARD, MARCH and the band or orchestra commences playing "Semper Fidelis." The color guard then marches forward to the end of the line of escorts, countermarches, and marches between the line of escorts and out the entrance way. When the colors have cleared the dance floor, the commanding general with the guest of honor march forward between the line of escorts and out the entrance way. When they have cleared the entrance, they are followed in a similar manner by the remainder of the general officers, marching out in pairs. j. As the last general officer clears the ballroom, the cake escort steps forward, faces right and left, and rolls the cake serving cart forward to the line where the general officers were standing. The cake escort then faces about toward the entrance and remains in position until the conclusion of the ceremony, when all members of the cake escort assist in passing the cake to the distinguished guests present. k. Upon completion of the cake escort’s movements, the two colonels come to carry swords, march forward to center line of the ballroom, face toward the entrance door, and march off the dance floor together through the entrance way. They are followed successively by the remainder of the escorts, the band or orchestra continuing to play until the last officers of the escort have cleared the dance floor. The band or orchestra ceases playing. The drummers and trumpeters close by side-stepping to the right and left, take up the beat, march the length of the dance floor, countermarch, and march back down the floor and out of the entrance way. As the last trumpeter clears the entrance way, the doors are closed, thus concluding the ceremony. 22-2
22-2. VARIATION It is recognized that considerable variation must be made in this ceremony to conform with the configuration of the dance floor or in the absence of a band or field music.

When the ceremony is conducted at noncommissioned officer’s or other enlisted messes, appropriate ranking noncommissioned officers will preside and form the escort. c. Where the ballroom is of sufficient size, two officers or enlisted personnel of each rank will be’ assigned to the escort. d. Where practicable, the following uniform will be worn: (1) Officer, evening dress or blue dress. (2) Enlisted, blue dress. e. The birthday cake will be mounted on a mess serving cart or similar conveyance covered with scarlet and gold bunting. f. Where swords are not available, escort will execute hand salute at appropriate commands. g. Guests may be cleared from the center of the ballroom by stretching white lines, supported by second lieutenants or noncommissioned officers, moving from center line of dance floor toward either side to provide required space for the ceremony. 22-3
