The Unit maintains a Color Guard to present and keep the colors. During ceremonies, the Color Guard presents the flags of the United States, the Navy, and the Marine Corps, and is flanked by two rifle-bearers. A salute is rendered by dipping the Navy and the Marine Corps flags while holding the National Ensign high. The Color Guard is held to a high standard or personal appearance, inspection knowledge, and precise drill. Passing through the Color Guard leaves a midshipman better trained and disciplined, with additional respect from fellow midshipmen.
The Color Guard is generally composed of 4/C midshipmen with a 3/C midshipman as their commander. The current Color Guard Commander is MIDN 3/C Chris Pratt, and the members are Fourth Class Midshipmen Scott, Foley, Cairo, and Scheimer.
