What was the role of the female military officer walking behind the color guard...

... when President Bush's casket was taken to the hears at Andrews base?

1. a guess

Perhaps she was the designated sexual harassment officer, there to make sure the zombie of H W Bush didn't grope anybody, since he apparently had a habit of doing that in life.

I could be wrong though.

6. I thought I'd be the first to say that. Well done.

How soon we forget those things and act like people were awesome just because they have ceased being.

For me, best guess is a back stop for literally anything.

She was the Officer on scene. The procession was in motion. She may have medical qualifications.

I've seen troops fall out when standing at attention. Do you think the troops were experiencing any stress to perform without flaw.

The ladies and gentlemen deserve respect for honoring the departed pilot, and BTW President.

3. Navy Chaplain.

The Chaplain follows the color guard and precedes the casket.

4. Thanks. Is it always navy? Sometimes another branch? nt

5. My suspicion is that it was a Navy Chaplain because Bush was a Navy officer.

It's as a good a theory as any.
