'saluted' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'introduced the members' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'introduced' could be 'presented' ('present' can be a synonym of 'introduce') and 'presented' is present in the answer.
'members' could be 'arms' (arm is a kind of member) and 'arms' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' acts as a link.
