General Orders

Click to

The General Orders are a list of published directives, originated by the Regimental Commanding Officer, and binding upon all personnel of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, the purpose of which is to enforce a policy or procedure unique to his unit's situation which is not otherwise addressed in applicable service regulations, military law, or public law. A General Order has the force of law; it is an offense punishable by court martial or other disciplinary action to disobey one. What makes it a General Order (as opposed to a direct order), is that the actor is not explicitly named, nor precisely that (or whom) which is to be acted upon. A General Order of indefinite duration may be referred to as a standing order. Standing orders are necessarily general and vague since the exact circumstances for execution occur in the future under unknown conditions. For example, in most military agencies there is a standing order for enlisted men to salute officers. The officers are required by the same law to return the salute to the enlisted person; however, the name of each enlisted man is not explicitly named in the order, nor is the name of each officer, nor is the exact time which the salute should occur. The following is a numbered list of all General Orders of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. These orders apply to all members of the unit regardless of any rank, positions, or game/sub-unit that the member belongs. General Order One Unethical Game Play (Cheating) I will not engage in any form of cheating and will not tolerate those who do. General Order Two 7th Cavalry Servers I will abide by all established game specific Rules of Engagement while playing within the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment's servers. I will obtain proper authorization before using any of the Boot Camp Servers for training activities and understand that a Boot Camp always has priority in those servers. I will not utilize the 7th Cavalry Regiment tag when naming a private server without obtaining proper authorization. General Order Three Regimental Tags I will wear my 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment clan tags in all First Person Shooter (FPS) game servers regardless of area of operation or if the game is supported by the unit (the only exception being Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying games, often called MMORPG or MMO's as long as the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment does not support it) and in all games supported by the unit. I will additionally wear my 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment clan tags within the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment Discord Server according to the standard format (RNK.Last.F). General Order Four Attendance I will attend all required meetings, trainings, and any other scheduled official events or will inform, in advance, the appropriate person in my Chain of Command. I will also endeavor to ensure I do not be deemed Absent Without Leave (AWOL) due to lack of attendance. General Order Five Server Administration I will ensure that the Rules of Engagement are followed by all members and server guests, and will enforce them per the established administration guidelines (or will report the violator to the appropriate personnel in the event that action cannot be taken). I will obtain a visual confirmation of a reported violation prior to taking action per the established administration guidelines (only exception is if verbally reported by a Corporal or above). I will consider all orders issued via in-game chat invalid until auditory confirmation is obtained, whether via Discord or, in the case of the Arma 3 AO, the Teamspeak server. General Order Six Discussion I will refrain from engaging in discussion or debate of political, religious or other similarly volatile subject matters in any 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment owned medium (game servers, forums, Discord, Teamspeak, etc.). General Order Seven Military Courtesy I will observe military courtesy as explicitly defined in the Discord Code of Conduct. General Order Eight Unit Dedication I will not belong to another FPS unit/clan or any other group that supports an officially supported Cav game while a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. General Order Nine Recruiting I will put forth my best effort to recruit individuals in our 7th Cavalry servers who demonstrate by their play and behavior the core values of our unit. I will not recruit within non-7th Cavalry servers or non-public servers. I will not recruit members from within the unit (recruit from one area of operation or game to another). The General Staff can authorize recruitment from within under certain circumstances such as Starter Platoons, etc. General Order Ten Requests for Aid Requests for aid will not be made without Regimental Commanding Officer or Regimental Executive Officer approval. Posts requesting aid will not be made without Regimental CO or Regimental Executive Officer approval. For clarification, if you approach another Cav member, tell them you have a problem and need money to solve it, you have violated this General Order. If you find yourself in this situation, your first communication should be to a member of the General Staff. Any Supervisor/Staff that is approached by a Trooper in this manner is to direct them to the General Staff. Do not, I repeat, do not setup a Go Fund Me, or any other crowd funding device. Do not make an announcement to your subordinates that a Trooper needs help. Direct them to a member of the General Staff. Do not violate this order. Doing so will result in your removal from the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. There is no circumstance that will grant you a waiver. General Order Eleven Universal Application All members, regardless of rank or billet, are bound by these General Orders. Under no circumstances can General Orders be ignored.

Arma3 Rules of Engagement Click right to Scope of the Rules of Engagement This document is to serve as a complete compendium to the rules of the servers. This document contains all rules of the server in which the document was written for. If it is not listed in this document it does not exist and is not enforceable. Each rule will have specific definitions of the rule as well as elaborating the specified intent of the rule along with examples to help clarify the rules true intent. By the end of this document, no questions should be remaining as to what the rule meant and how it applies to the player. </noinclude> Arma 3- Public Server Rules No fratricide or destruction of friendly equipment. No offensive or disruptive behavior All support assets must be on call and TeamSpeak 3 You must play your role and cooperate with your team Specific definitions of ARMA 3 - Public Server Rules The following is a numbered list of all server rules that are in accordance to the list of section 2. Each rule will have a subsection explaining the intentions of the rule and specific cases of the rule. 1. No fratricide or destruction of friendly equipment Fratricide is the killing of one's own forces in war and is used to describe 'friendly fire', or commonly called 'TK’ing' or 'Team Killing'. This means the purposeful or accidental killing of another player or friendly equipment is not allowed. This also means that acts of “revenge killing” are against this rule. The only action a player needs to take against someone who killed them is reporting said team killer to our Military Police or a Game Admin. Spirit of the rule - This rule is a common rule for team-based First Person Shooter games. Team killing is universally considered in bad taste and bad form. The idea is to have fun and not to have to worry about a chaotic free for all. 2. No offensive or disruptive behavior. No racism nor sexism of any kind. Any racist or discriminating remarks or names will result in an instant ban. No political or religious discussions or references including names. No disrespect towards other players or admins. No disrespect towards the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. No disrespect towards deceased 7th Cavalry members. No disrespectful or offensive abbreviations. No elitist attitude towards others or taunting. No mic spamming. No trolling or griefing. Discharge or firing of any weapon on base is strictly prohibited. No vehicles parked on the runway or landing pads. Spirit of the rule - The 7th Cavalry tries to create a fun environment without drama where people can just get together, play, and have fun in a tactical environment. 3. All support assets must be on call and Teamspeak. This means the pilot/operator of any aircraft, artillery, mortars, or UAV. TeamSpeak 3 meaning 7th Cavalry's TeamSpeak 3 server. They must also have a working microphone, and be willing to coordinate over TeamSpeak. Support assets, except tanks, are not to engage the enemy on their own accord. Enemy air assets and enemy anti-air are the only exceptions to this rule. They are allowed to be engaged to make way for safe transport to the AO for friendly troops. All attack aircraft are to maintain a safe holding area, pattern, or stay on base until called in to maintain the longevity of the aircraft. Artillery, including mortars, must remain silent until called to fire by infantry. Assets in immediate danger that need to act against danger can defend themselves to preserve their lives or asset, but shall not provoke the engagement. Spirit of the rule - This rule is meant to help preserve some enemy for friendly infantry to still fight when there are powerful support assets like aircraft or artillery in play, as well as the coordination of those assets with ground forces to foster organized gameplay. Fire support and other force multipliers, unless specifically approved above, are on call until a call for fire is made. This is done to balance the power of support assets with the infantry. 4. You must play your role and cooperate with your team. “Lone wolfing” should be avoided whenever possible. Follow the instructions of your Squad Leader and/or mission commander. Play the role you’re slotted for. If you wish to change your role you must reslot. For example, if you were a pilot and wish to fight on the ground you must reslot as an infantryman. No AFK’ing in limited slots. Spirit of the rule - “Lone wolfing” can cause enemies to spawn in remote locations away from the main group and thus detract from server resources, as they are limited. “Lone wolfing” should be avoided when possible to ensure cohesion across all roles, to help foster tactical realism and organized gameplay, and to ensure the mission file is running as intended. Arma 3 - Training Server Rules The Training Server is first and foremost an area for 7th Cavalry members to practice skills that will be utilized in either operations or public spaces. There will always be a 7th Cavalry member responsible for the server. No public members. Specific definitions of ARMA 3 - Training Server Rules 1. The Training Server is first and foremost an area for 7th Cavalry members to practice skills that will be utilized in either operations or public spaces. Simply put: RTC > Unit Training > Fun-time. The above hierarchy of use shall always be observed, however, this does not mean that two groups can't be doing two things at once. Spirit of the rule - Simply as the hierarchy of use states, the training server is first and foremost the 7th Cavalry 1st Battalion training server; everything else comes secondary to this mission. RTC will always have priority of this server during the scheduled training times (check with RTC for currently scheduled bootcamps), as they are responsible for replenishing and growing the ranks of the 7th Cavalry, and they will not be hindered in this mission. 2. There will always be a 7th Cavalry member responsible for the server. Whenever the server is running, there will be at least one member that is in charge of the operations of all members in the server. Generally speaking, this member will be the operational admin or the training admin. This member is responsible for all conduct on the server. Spirit of the rule - Responsibility of use of 7th Cavalry assets always needs to fall on someone. As such, before entering the server as a group, either the ranking officer/NCO assumes this responsibility, or a pre-designated member of the group needs to be responsible (such as when there are NCOs running trainings for officers, etc). 3. No public members. No public members. Members of allied clans are allowed to attend events if first approved by the regimental commander. Spirit of the rule - Being as the servers are for 7th Cavalry members, as a matter of privilege for those of the yellow and black, public players are not welcome in these servers. Allied clans are allowed to visit the grounds if prior to the event the Regimental Commander provides written permission for them to attend. Hell Let Loose Rules of Engagement Click right to Scope of the Rules of Engagement This document is compendium of the rules of the Hell Let Loose servers. If a rule is not listed in this document it does not exist and is not enforceable. Each rule will have specific definitions as well as an elaboration of its intent. By the end of this document, no question should remain as to what a rule means and how it applies to the player. </noinclude> Hell Let Loose– Rules of Engagement (ROE) No intentional team killing/griefing No offensive behavior or names. (Ex. racism et al) No spawn camping (For HQ only) All squads must have an OFFICER Squad Leaders and Commanders must have a microphone No Solo Tanking Ever or Solo Locked Recon Seeding - Combat Strength Under 20 vs. 20 The following rules apply for seeding: The middle sector point will be the only playable objective Combat Area - only the two rows/columns (map dependent) that contain the playable objective Armor crewman roles may not leave the HQ. No use of Artillery until the 20v20 (40 Total Players) has been reached. In-game squad leaders are responsible for reporting any infraction from their in-game section to a 7th Cavalry Admin (MP) or Member with tags to enforce these rules. Spirit of the rule - When both teams have less than 20 players, both teams agree to only play over the central sector (map dependent) with reduced combined arms to promote a better player experience until there are enough players to seed vanilla gameplay. Specific definitions of Hell Let Loose – Team vs. Team Server Rules The following numbered list of all server rules are in accordance with the list of above. Each rule has a subsection explaining the intent of the rule. 1 No intentional team killing/Griefing Commonly called 'TK'ing' or 'Team Killing' - the purposeful or accidental killing of a teammate - is not allowed on this server. Do not team kill, this is grounds for instant banning. Intentionally Team Killing a 7th Cavalry Admin while actively being an admin will result in an instant ban from the server. If you accidentally Team Kill or hurt a team member apologize immediately. Intentional destruction or disabling of friendly equipment, e.g., getting vehicles stuck so others can not use them. Spirit of the rule - Intentionally team killing other players or griefing teammates is detrimental to the spirit of team play. While friendly fire and equipment loss is a reality on the battlefield, it is unacceptable and should be avoided. 2 No Offensive Behavior No racism nor sexism of any kind. Any racist or discriminating remarks or names will result in an instant ban. No inappropriate discussion, political or religious discussions or references including names. No inappropriate usernames are allowed. IE. Sexual, Racist, Inappropriate/Offensive in nature. No disrespect towards other players or admins. No disrespect towards the 7th Cavalry Clan. No disrespect towards the deceased. No disrespectful or offensive abbreviations. No elitist attitude towards others or taunting. No mic spamming. No trolling. Spirit of the rule - The 7th Cavalry tries to create a fun environment without drama where people can just get together, play and have fun in a tactical environment. 3 No Camping Headquarters Bases Intentionally choking an uncapturable spawn area, blocking all areas off from escape. Enemy Combatants may engage players using artillery as artillery pieces are located in HQ The HQs may only be engaged freely if the final Objective is active and located in its sector. You cant attack the north HQ spawn if the objective is in the south HQ sector. You must be actively trying to move forward and leaving your base unless utilizing artillery. No camping the HQ behind enemy lines, play the objectives. Spirit of the rule - This rule is about fair competition. We want everyone to have fun, therefore everyone should get the opportunity to fight back. If you see that the enemy is unable to get out of their spawn area you need to fall back; if you don't, you are ruining their fun. The exception would be if the game mode forces you to move in to spawn. 4 Each Squad Must Have an Officer/Squad Leader All Squads in game must have even either a Squad Leader or an Officer Kit. The 7th Cavalry Regiment encourages focused team-play mechanics that are synonymous with the in-game mechanics of Hell Let Loose. Not having an Officer/Squad Leader prevents the section from having outposts and from placing Garrisons. We believe requiring an Officer/Squad Leader to be in each section enriches the server environment and contributes to a high level of game play and enjoyment. 5 All Squad Leaders And Commanders Must Have A Microphone Squad Leaders must have a microphone to communicate with their squad and other Squad Leaders. Commanders must have a microphone to communicate with their team and other Squad Leaders. Using text chat only is not acceptable. Spirit of the rule - It is too difficult to lead while using text chat only, voice communication must be used to be a effective leader. 6 No Solo Tanking or Solo Locked Recon Do not use armor until teams are 20 v 20. Armor must be occupied by at least 2 people. No "lone-wolfing" armor. Armored sections must follow orders of Team Commander. No Solo Locking recon, all recon must be open or have a sniper Spirit of the rule - Armor is a vital asset to each team. Before there are 20 people on each team, it can be annoying to have an armor asset decide the course of the battle due to low population. To make best use of the armor, there needs to be 2-3 players in each tank. Locking squads prevents players from possibly having the experience they joined our server for. 7 Seeding - Combat Strength Under 20 vs. 20 (40 players total) The middle sector point will be the only playable objective. Combat Area - only the two rows/columns (map dependent) that contain the playable objective. Armor crewman roles may not leave the HQ. In-game squad leaders are responsible for reporting any infraction from their in-game section to a 7th Cavalry Admin (MP) or Member with tags to enforce these rules. No use of Artillery until the 20v20 (40 Total Players) has been reached. Spirit of the rule - When both teams have less than 20 players, both teams agree to only play over the central sector (map dependent) with reduced combined arms to promote a better player experience until there are enough players to seed vanilla gameplay. Squad Rules of Engagement Click right to Scope of the Rules of Engagement This document is a compendium of the rules of the Squad servers. If a rule is not listed in this document it does not exist and is not enforceable. Each rule will have specific definitions as well as an elaboration of its intent. By the end of this document, no question should remain as to what a rule means and how it applies to the player. Squad – Rules of Engagement (ROE) No team killing. Do not intentionally waste assets. No offensive behavior. No camping the main base. All Squad Leaders must have a microphone and utilize an SL kit and communicate in English. Do not play unassigned. No soloing vehicles Vehicle claims are by squad name No Squad baiting. No locked public infantry Squads Do not recruit for non-7Cav communities on our server (Perm Ban). Specific definitions of Squad Server Rules The following numbered list of all server rules are in accordance with the list of above. Each rule has a subsection explaining the intent of the rule. 1. No Team Killing.---- The purposeful killing of a teammate is not allowed on this server - Accidents should be avoided Intentionally Team Killing a 7th Cavalry Admin while actively engaged in admin duties will result in an instant ban from the server If you accidentally Team Kill or hurt a team member apologize immediately in All Chat (J by default) Spirit of the rule - Intentionally team killing other players is detrimental to the spirit of team play. While friendly fire is a reality on the battlefield, it is unacceptable and should be avoided. 2. Do not intentionally waste assets.---- This includes purposeful disregard and gross negligence. A purposeful disregard example: Using a logistics truck as a personal taxi to the front and dumping it. A Gross Negligence example: Flying a helicopter in a live match despite having no idea how to actually fly. Other examples at Admin discretion. Spirit of the rule - This rule is similar in spirit to the first rule. There's already enough concern with the enemy trying to destroy that armor or aviation asset. 3. No offensive behavior.---- No racism nor sexism of any kind. Any racist or discriminating remarks or names will result in an instant ban; No political or religious discussions or references including names; No disrespect towards other players or admins; No disrespect towards the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment; No disrespect towards the deceased; No disrespectful or offensive abbreviations; No elitist attitude towards others or taunting; No mic spamming, including music; No trolling; Spirit of the rule - The 7th Cavalry tries to create a fun environment without drama where people can just get together, play and have fun in a tactical environment. 4. No camping the Main Base---- Intentionally choking the Main Base, Main Roads or blocking all areas of egress from Main base is against the rules; There is no set distance, all Calls will be at admin discretion. If you are told to move away, you will be expected to move away as soon as possible; This rule does not apply to HAB’s/Rally points; Spirit of the rule - This rule is about fair competition. We want everyone to have fun, therefore everyone should get the opportunity to fight back. If you see that the enemy is unable to get out of their spawn area you need to fall back; if you don´t you are ruining their fun. 5. All Squad Leaders must have a microphone, utilize the SL kit and communicate in English.---- Squad Leaders must have a microphone to communicate with their squad and other Squad Leaders; Squad Leaders must utilize an SL kit in order to utilize all functions and assets of the position; Using text chat only is not acceptable; All communication must be in English; Failing to do so will result in being kicked from the squad; Spirit of the rule - It is too difficult to lead while using text chat only, voice communication must be used to be an effective leader. Not having an SL kit also prohibits the squad from placing down required assets for organized play. 6. Do not play unassigned.---- Commonly called "lone-wolfing". You must join a Squad, if they are full, wait for a new one or start a new one. Follow your Squad Leaders orders, they have the discretion to kick you from the squad for not following orders. All communication must be in English. Failing to do so will result in admin intervention Spirit of the rule -You need to be part of your squad and team to be able to contribute to the objectives, "lone-wolfing" does not contribute to that. This also helps us keep AFK players off the server. 7. No Soloing Vehicles---- Vehicles which require a Crewman slot to operate must have two persons crewing it. Any Light armored/Reconnaissance vehicle with an onboard weapon system may be subject to admin discretion. Helicopters and ALL logistical vehicles are excluded. Spirit of the rule - You should be trying to avoid the wastage of vehicle assets in Squad, if the vehicle has room for a driver and gunner, you’ll be most effective with a driver and gunner. 8. Vehicles must be claimed by Squad name.---- Vehicles are claimed by Squad name - first person to create a squad with the vehicle name, lays rightful claim to that vehicle. Naming conventions that are acceptable include - MBT, Heli, BMP. A generic name such as “Armour” is not acceptable. Spirit of the rule- First come first served is the fairest method for vehicle squads. If you want that vehicle make the squad name suit that. We can easily arbitrate this rule by looking at the squad number rather than who spawned and ran to the vehicle first. 9. No Squad baiting.---- Creating a squad and then leaving or promoting another player is not allowed. Spirit of the rule - Creating a squad out of frustration and then leaving the SL role is not acceptable. If you don't intend to lead a squad, wait until another squad opens. It wastes time and inevitably leads to a squad without an SL or just ends up being disbanded. 10. No locked public infantry Squads.---- The only squads that are allowed to Lock are: Any Vehicle Squad Admins on Duty Mortar/Logistics Squads must be named as such Any TAGGED community squad above 5 members Any squad during the staging phase waiting for friends (must be unlocked by Live) Spirit of the rule - We want to make sure that new players have a place to play on our server. Locked squads not only prevent that but team cohesion is damaged when there are 10+ 3-4 man locked squads. 11. Do not recruit for non-7Cav communities on our server (Perm Ban).---- Do not recruit for external communities on this server. This will be considered disrespect to the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment and punishable by permanent ban. Seeding Rules of Engagement (RoE) Until 20 v 20 players, the following rules apply. All Squad leaders must have a Microphone and use the SL role. Squad Leaders are to communicate and lead their section using tactical gameplay. Keep combat centered on the objectives. No building of Observation Towers during the seeding phase.

All members of the unit, including retired members, are subject to the UCMJ. History On 30 June 1775, the Second Continental Congress established 69 Articles of War to govern the conduct of the Continental Army. Effective upon its ratification in 1789, Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution provided that Congress has the power to regulate the land and naval forces. On 10 April 1806, the United States Congress enacted 101 Articles of War (which applied to both the Army and the Navy), which were not significantly revised until over a century later. The military justice system continued to operate under the Articles of War until 31 May 1951, when the Uniform Code of Military Justice went into effect. The UCMJ was passed by Congress on 5 May 1950, signed into law by President Harry S. Truman, and became effective on 31 May 1951.

Further Guidance Around Politics and Political Expression This policy will serve as Command guidance on politics and political expression in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. Politics and the expression thereof are already covered in the General Orders, however it can be easy to narrowly view politics in the framing of major parties and platforms. However, political discussion and expression is much more diverse. Examples of Political Material References to the 'Boogaloo Movement" including various derivatives such as: The great boog boojahideen Civil War #2 The wearing of 'Hawaiian' shirts with combat load outs in games / real life. References to ANTIFA All of these would be considered to fall under the Politics and Religion Policy In accordance with General Order #6. We are aware that symbols and memes have meanings before being hijacked and/or co-opted by others. We are equally aware that there are plenty of places on the internet to express ourselves and we have historically chosen to keep decisive topics out of our community not because we are the thought police; but because they end up becoming an impediment to what we all would really rather be doing.

History The tune emerged in the late eighteenth century as a favorite drinking song of rich young roisters in Limerick. It obtained immediate popularity in the British Army through the 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers. A very early reference to the tune appears in The Life of the Duke of Wellington by Jocquim Hayward Stocqueler, published in 1853. He describes the defence of the town of Tarifa in late December 1811, during the Peninsular War. General H. Gough, later Field Marshall Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, commanding officer of the 87th Regiment (at that time known as the Royal Irish Fusiliers), after repulsing an attack by French Grenadiers "...was not, however, merely satisfied with resistance. When the enemy, scared, ran from the walls, he drew his sword, made the band strike up 'Garry Owen', and followed the fugitives for two or three hundred yards." Garryowen was also a favourite in the Crimean War. The tune has also been associated with a number of British military units, and is the authorised regimental march of The Irish Regiment of Canada. It was the regimental march of the Liverpool Irish, British Army. It is the regimental march of the London Irish Rifles (now part of The London Regiment (TA)). It was also the regimental march of the 50th (The Queen's Own) Foot (later The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment) until 1869. Garryowen became the marching tune for the 69th Infantry Regiment, New York Militia, (the famed "Fighting 69th" ) in the mid-1800s. The "Fighting 69th" adopted Garry Owen before the Civil War and recently brought it back to combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It later became the marching tune for the US 7th Cavalry Regiment during the late 1800s. The tune was a favorite of General George Armstrong Custer and became the official air of the Regiment in 1867. According to legend it was the last tune played before the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The name of the tune has become a part of the regiment, the words Garry Owen are part of the regimental crest. Lyrics Gary Owen, Gary Owen, Gary Owen In the valley of Montana all alone There are better days to be In the seventh cavalry When we charge again For dear old Gary Owen. I can hear those Sioux bucks singing, Sgt. Flynn I can hear those tom-toms ringing, Sgt. Flynn I can hear those Sioux bucks singing, I can here those tom-toms ringing, But they don't yet know the tune to Gary Owen. It's first call I hear it sounding, Sgt. Flynn And it sounds like taps a-rounding, Sgt. Flynn Oh me lads, here's something fancy Take a break, it's Private Clancy And you'll feel better when he strikes up Gary Owen For it's Boots and Saddles sounding, Sgt. Flynn Along the line the men are bounding, Sgt. Flynn So let' saddle-up and fall in For the trumpets are callin' And the band is tuning up for Gary Owen. For it's forward we're advancing, Sgt. Flynn And the breeze guides are a-lancing, Sgt. Flynn Walk, trot, gallop, charge by thunder, We will ride those cut throats under. Drive your sabers to the hilt for Gary Owen. We are ambushed and surrounded, Sgt. Flynn Yet recall has not been sounded, Sgt. Flynn Gather round me and we'll rally Make one last stand in the valley For the Seventh Regiment and Gary Owen. You are cut, and scalped, and battered, Sgt. Flynn All your men are dead and scattered, Sgt. Flynn I will make your bed tomorrow With my head bowed down in sorrow. O'er your grave, I'll whistle Taps And Gary Owen.
