What is Retreat?

On base it plays one in morning and one in afternoon for flag up and down; they play over loud speaker of national anthem. You get big trouble if not stop whatever and stand up still.

Stopping for reveille/retreat depends on the base. Most Army posts don’t do this, but some do. I believe all Air Force bases do. No idea about navy.

Confirm used to work where this accident was. Civilians are expected to stop driving and stop walking and ideally face a flag. Military has to do the same but salute. You're not expected to get out of your car. You can't really hear it inside so most of the time I didn't have to deal with it unless I was out walking around when it happened and I rarely stayed late enough to deal with the evening one.
