Fort Riley will begin emphasizing the traditions of Reveille and Retreat on December 2nd, altering gate access procedures. Reveille signals the start of the duty day at 6:30am while Retreat signals the end at 5pm, except on Fridays when it is at 3pm. During these times, security will place cones at gates to restrict traffic and block a road by the 1st Infantry Division headquarters to halt vehicle traffic. All personnel, military and civilian, are encouraged to stand and salute during Reveille and Retreat under specific guidelines depending on whether in or out of a vehicle. These traditions established by base leadership are meant to be followed by all on the installation.
