CONT

Escorte des drapeaux consacrés. Les escortes ont comme mission de garder les drapeaux consacrés en sécurité. À partir du moment où les membres d'une escorte entrent en fonction, ils se tiennent constamment près du drapeau consacré ou près de l'escorte armée, s'il y a lieu, tant que le drapeau consacré n'est pas replacé en sécurité. Avec une escorte armée, ils occupent des positions surnuméraires jusqu'au moment où ils doivent reprendre leurs fonctions d'escorte rapprochée. Lorsque les membres de la garde du drapeau consacré reçoivent l'ordre de prendre place en ordre de revue, les membres de l'escorte doivent se tenir immobiles.
