<P> Some soldiers may salute with the left hand when the right hand is encumbered in some way ( though it is rare ) , for example , a soldier with a rifle at Right Shoulder Arms ; if movement of a weapon would be encumbered when making the armed salute ; if the performance of duty requires the right hand for use or operation of equipment such as riding a motorcycle ; if it is not possible to use the hand due to injury or amputation ; when escorting a woman and it is not possible to walk on her right side . </P>
