What is the official song of the U.S. Army?

• A. The Army Goes Rolling Along
• B. The Army Song
• C. The Soldier's Song
• D. The Army March

Answer: (A)

The official song the Army uses in formal ceremonies is The Army Goes Rolling Along. This title is the designation recognized by the Department of the Army for the service’s official song, derived from the well-known march often called The Caissons Go Rolling Along. Its lyrics and tune have become the standard way the Army is musically represented in official settings, so it’s the one you’ll hear at ceremonies and Army events. The other names—The Army Song, The Soldier's Song, or The Army March—are not the officially designated title, even though people may associate the tune with similar wording.
