Watch Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery in 4K
Twenty-one steps south. Face east 21 seconds. Face north 21 seconds. Twenty-one steps north. Face east 21 seconds. Face south 21 seconds. Repeat until relieved.
Thus is the meticulous routine performed by the select few chosen for the honor of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located in Arlington National Cemetery, just outside of Washington, D.C. These Tomb Guard Sentinels, elite volunteer members of the U.S. Army's 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, watch the Tomb 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, rain or shine -- and have done so for almost 80 years.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was constructed in 1921, after Congress approved the burial of an unidentified U.S. soldier from World War I, with other Unknowns interred since. The Tomb has been guarded year-round continuously since 1937, when the first 24-hour guards were posted. Since April 1948, sentinels from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, also known as the Old Guard, have been watching over the hallowed memorial.
The above video shows a complete changing of the guard ceremony edited together from three different ceremonies all recorded on May 20, 2015. To watch the video at full resolution, be sure to choose the 4K option in the YouTube player.
The video was shot and produced by Justin Scuiletti. Special thanks to Arlington National Cemetery and Sgt. 1st Class Nicolas Morales for helping in the production of this video.

Arlington National Cemetery Millennium Expansion Flyover
Arlington National Cemetery is currently 624 acres. Over the next several years, Arlington’s footprint will be increasing, with additional space for both in-ground and above-ground burials, thereby extending its life for several decades to come. The Millennium Project is a 27-acre parcel of undeveloped land from Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, the National Park Service, and existing ANC land. This parcel is included in the cemetery’s current acreage. The Millennium Project began construction in early 2014. This animated video is an artist rendering of the project.
For each of these projects, planning includes important considerations for interment options, visitor accessibility, environmental impact, roads, utilities, and other issues that not only ensure maximum use of Arlington’s burial space, but also ensure a smart and successful expansion.

PLEASE READ. I was on this trip with the United States Embassy to London as an observer about life in America. Part of the trip included Memorial day in Washington DC at the Arlington National Cemetery, a day that we were told to pay particular attention to respect in association with the event, during which President Trump was to make a speech.
Please let me make myself very clear. I am not a supporter or fan of any politician. The whole point of this Exploring American Values tour was not for me to pass judgement, and so you’ll not find any comments along those lines from me in this video. As a diverse group of British Public Diplomats on a trip as guests of the US Embassy to the UK, our sole purpose on this trip was to observe. I hope you understand what I’m saying and not jump to any ludicrous conclusions about me ‘taking sides’. I was in America to observe, not judge. ????????

Arlington County is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is the highest-income county in the United States by median family income, though it has the highest concentration of singles in the region. Arlington is the second-largest principal city of the Washington metropolitan area. The county is often referred to in the region simply as Arlington or Arlington, Virginia.
Due to the county's proximity to downtown Washington, D.C., Arlington is headquarters to many departments and agencies of the federal government of the United States, including the Department of Defense (DoD) at the Pentagon, Drug Enforcement Administration, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It is also home to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The many federal agencies, government contractors, and service industries contribute to Arlington's stable economy. Arlington is also the location of national memorials and museums, including Arlington National Cemetery, the Pentagon Memorial, the Marine Corps War Memorial, and the United States Air Force Memorial.

Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington National Cemetery is an American military cemetery established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House (also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion). It is directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., north of the Pentagon. With nearly 300,000 graves, Arlington National Cemetery is the second-largest national cemetery in the United States.
The Tomb of the Unknowns, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, stands atop a hill overlooking Washington, DC. President John F. Kennedy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with his wife and some of their children. His grave is marked with an Eternal Flame. His brothers, Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy, are also buried nearby. William Howard Taft, who was also a Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is the only other President buried at Arlington.
Other frequently visited sites near the cemetery are the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, commonly known as the Iwo Jima Memorial, the U.S. Air Force Memorial, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, the Netherlands Carillon and the U.S. Army's Fort Myer.
The Pentagon
The Pentagon in Arlington is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. It was dedicated on January 15, 1943 and it is the world's largest office building. Although it is located in Arlington, the United States Postal Service requires that Washington, D.C. be used as the place name in mail addressed to the six ZIP codes assigned to The Pentagon.[94]
The building is pentagon-shaped in plan and houses about 23,000 military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel. It has five floors and each floor has five ring corridors. The Pentagon's principal law enforcement arm is the United States Pentagon Police, the agency that protects the Pentagon and various other DoD jurisdictions throughout the National Capital Region.
Built during the early years of World War II, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. It has 17.5 miles (28 km) of corridors, yet it takes only seven minutes or so to walk between any two points in the building.

Arlington National Cemetery
Funeral service for two unknown Civil War Union Soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery, September 6, 2018.
Arlington National Cemetery conducted the burial of two Civil War Soldiers discovered at the Manassas National Battlefield Park. The Soldiers were laid to rest in Section 81 with military funeral honors with funeral escort. This was the first in-ground interment at the Millennium site.
The Millennium site supports the cemetery’s long term goal of optimizing interment space that is contiguous with the existing cemetery in order to maintain future active operations and preserve the ANC experience. This new 27-acre expansion provides 27,282 interment spaces that are located either above or below ground. Columbarium courts offer 16,400 above-ground niche spaces for cremated remains, while the 10,882 in-ground burials will be split between traditional and over-size burials (1,422), in-ground cremated remains (3,189), and pre-placed liners (6,271).
Two caissons from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon, The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” and Soldiers from The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) conducted military funeral honors with funeral escort. Two caissons have not been provided in support of a military funeral in recent history.
