A guard shouted at the Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, and his entourage after they laughed at one of the most sacred American war memorials.

The officer, a US Army sentinel, barked at Hegseth and his advisers on the steps of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier after people in the group were heard laughing.

The awkward encounter unfolded near the dignified memorial at the Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, on Veterans Day yesterday.

Hegseth, his wife Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh gathered at the memorial for a group picture.

Some in the group laughed and talked casually, prompting a surprise reaction from the patrol guard.

He yelled as the guests were about to leave: ‘All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.’

The guard, who has not been publicly named, was acknowledged for his actions by the Pentagon chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell.

He said: ‘The Secretary and the entire Department have always honoured, and will always honour, the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe.
