Study Notes
Forward March and Halt
- Command for "Forward, MARCH" begins with the left foot, taking a 24-inch step with a heel-first approach.
- Arms should swing naturally: 6 inches forward and 3 inches back while maintaining proper dress and distance.
- To halt, command "Flight, HALT" is given, and the cadet takes one additional step before ceasing movement.
Command Structure
- Commands consist of two parts: preparatory and execution.
- Supplementary commands come into play when units need to execute different movements or timings.
Informational Commands
- Informational commands lack a preparatory command or execution command.
Position and Movement
- Leaders must always be at the position of attention.
- Subordinate commanders give supplementary commands over the right shoulder.
Specific Commands and Movements
- To execute movements to the right, commands align with the right foot's strike.
- "Eyes Right" turns heads and eyes to the right, while "Ready Front" brings them back forward as the left (or right) foot strikes.
Specific Positions
- Position of attention: heels together at a 45-degree angle, hands along seams, straight posture.
- "Parade, REST" requires feet 12 inches apart, with hands behind the back in an "X" formation.
Saluting Procedures
- To execute a hand salute, the command is "Present, Arms” for the first count and "Order, Arms" for the second count.
- Salutes are exchanged only outdoors unless formally reporting.
Marching Cadences
- Double time rates at 180 steps per minute, with a step length of 30 inches.
- Quick time marches at 100-120 steps per minute with a step length of 12 or 24 inches.
Changes of Formation
- Elements may change formations or intervals, such as "close march" or "extend march."
Cadence and Step Mechanics
- Steps commence with the left foot following a halt, except in certain specific movements like right step and close march.
- "Mark Time, MARCH" involves stepping in place with the feet raised 4 inches while maintaining cadence.
Drill Terminology
- Drill terms detail the vocabulary associated with formations and movements in a drill setting.
- Cadence reflects the uniform step and rhythm in marching, significant for synchronized movements.
Understanding Squadron Structures
- A flight comprises at least two but not more than four elements.
- Distances between individuals in formation maintain a standard of 40 inches from chest to back.
Element and Movement Definitions
- Elements serve as basic formations, and intervals measure the space between individuals side by side.
- The definition of "formation" includes various arrangement types, such as lines or columns.
Miscellaneous Commands
- "Fall Out" allows relaxation but requires individuals to remain close by.
- "Change Step" is executed as the right foot strikes the ground.
Final Lines and Rests
- The final line marks the front rank formation for parades, while rest positions permit moderate speech without movement.
Transitioning Between Marches
- Transition from double time to quick time involves two steps: one to adjust and one to halt.
- "Half Step March" allows for shorter strides while maintaining coordinated arm swings.
Summary of Key Movements
-
Movements such as "Right (Left) Step" and "To The Rear, March" require specific foot placements and pivoting techniques for proper execution.### Marching Techniques
-
The leg remains straight with the foot kept 12 inches away from the other foot in the specified direction.
-
The opposite foot is moved together with the first foot while the upper body remains stationary.
-
The body stays at attention throughout the movement.
-
Upon the command "HALT," an additional step is taken before bringing both feet together.

- Command "MARCH" is executed on the right foot.
- The cadet takes a 24-inch step forward then places the ball of the right foot alongside the heel of the left foot.
- Arm swing is paused during this movement.
- Weight is shifted to the right foot, followed by stepping off with the left foot in another 24-inch step while resuming coordinated arm swing.
To the Rear March
- Command "MARCH" is given on the right foot.
- The cadet steps 12 inches forward with the left foot, aligning it in front of the right foot, distributing weight on the balls of both feet.
