The bugle is used mainly in the military, where the [[bugle call]] is used to indicate the daily routines of camp. Historically, the bugle was used in the cavalry to relay instructions from officers to soldiers during battle. They were used to assemble the leaders and to give marching orders to the camps.

The bugle is also used in [[Scout (Scouting)|Boy Scout]] troops and in the [[Boys' Brigade]].

[[The Rifles]], an infantry regiment in the [[British Army]], has retained the bugle for ceremonial and symbolic purposes, as did other rifle regiments before it. When originally formed in 1800, the [[Rifle Corps]] were the first dedicated light infantry unit in the British Army and were allowed a number of unique accoutrements that were believed to be better suited for skirmishing, such as their green jackets. Other infantry used drums when marching and had whistles to signal when skirmishing, but the Rifle Corps was a much larger body of men that would be expected to spread out over a large area under a single commander. As a result, the bugle was taken from cavalry traditions because signals could pass much further without the need for repeats. The buglers in each [[battalion]] are headed by the bugle major, a senior [[non-commissioned officer]] holding the rank of [[sergeant]] or above.

The bugle has also been used as a sign of peace in the case of a surrender.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Buy Generic Gold Color The Earth Affair Dokra Art Brass Bugle,tribal Trumpet,bastar Art Turi,todi Online at Best Prices in India - JioMart. |url=https://www.jiomart.com/p/craftsofindia/generic-gold-color-the-earth-affair-dokra-art-brass-bugle-tribal-trumpet-bastar-art-turi-todi/600928269 |access-date=2024-03-07 |website=JioMart |language=en-US}}</ref>

In most military units, the bugle can be fitted with a small banner or tabard (occasionally gold fringed) with the arms of its reporting service branch or unit.<ref>{{Cite web |last=King |first=Charles Cooper |title=The Story of the British Army |url=https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/52723/pg52723-images.html |access-date=2024-03-07 |website=gutenberg.org|language=en}}</ref>

In military tradition, the [[Last Post]] or [[Taps (bugle call)|Taps]] is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day's activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commemorative services such as [[Anzac Day]] in Australia and New Zealand and [[Remembrance Day]] in Canada<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Last Post {{!}} Army.gov.au|url=https://www.army.gov.au/our-heritage/traditions/last-post|access-date=2021-10-18|website=www.army.gov.au}}</ref>
