Which action occurs immediately after 'Uncase the colors' in Morning Colors?

• A. Post the colors
• B. Uncase the colors again
• C. Hand salute
• D. Ready two

Answer: (A)

In a Morning Colors ceremony, uncase the colors means to take the flags out of their protective case and present them for display. The natural next step is to post the colors, which means raising the flags on the flagstaff so they are visibly displayed and honored. This order keeps the ceremony moving from preparation to proper presentation, allowing the honors (like salutes or music) to follow once the colors are clearly displayed. Uncase again would be redundant, hand salute typically comes after the colors are posted, and ready two is a later preparatory cue rather than the immediate action.
