Each succeeding member of the first element marches to the approximate point established by the person in front of them and performs the same procedures as the element leader. Then begin half-stepping and establish interval and dress. Continue marching in 30-inch steps until even with the person who marches on the right. The first element leader (the person in front of the far-left line of troops) takes one more 30-inch step (maintaining a coordinated arm swing throughout), pivots 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot and takes six 30-inch steps before pivoting 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot. Each succeeding member of the second element marches to the approximate pivot point established by the person in front of them and performs the same procedures as the element leader. The second person (the person to the immediate left of the third element leader) takes one more 30-inch step (maintaining a coordinated arm swing throughout), pivots 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot and takes four 30-inch steps before pivoting 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot. Each succeeding member of the third element marches to the approximate pivot point established by the person in front of them and performs the same procedures as the element leader. Then begin half-stepping and establish interval and dress (alignment). Continue marching in 30-inch steps until even with the fourth element leader.

The third element leader (the person to the immediate left of the fourth element leader) takes one 30-inch step (maintaining a coordinated arm swing throughout), pivots 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot and takes two 30-inch steps before pivoting 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot. Each succeeding member of the fourth element marches to the approximate pivot point established by the person in front of her and performs the same procedures as the element leader (lead person). Beginning with the second step after the pivot, take up the half step. After the pivot, step off in a 30-inch step and resume a coordinated arm swing. On the command "Column right, march," the fourth element leader (the person in front of the far-right line of troops) takes one more 30-inch step, pivots 90 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot and suspends arm swing during the pivot. Turning the left is the same (just exactly opposite). To keep confusion to a minimum, I describe the movement to the right. This movement can be rather confusing to read about, but trust me: With a few minutes of practice with your drill instructor, you'll be turning as a group in no time. Make sure that you maintain a coordinated arm swing and continue the half step until marching forward or halted. On the command "March," you take one more 30-inch step, followed by a 15-inch step (measured from heel to heel) in quick time (double normal marching speed), setting your heel down first without scraping the ground. The command "Half step, march" is given as either foot strikes the ground.

You then take one more step in place and then step off in a full 30-inch step with the left foot. To resume marching, the command "Forward, march" is given as the heel of the left foot strikes the ground. The halt executed from mark time is similar to the halt from forward march. A normal arm swing is maintained.Īt a halt, on the command of execution "March," you raise and lower first the left foot and then the right. The balls of the feet are raised two inches above the ground. The cadence is continued by alternately raising and lowering each foot. You then bring your trailing foot to a position so that both heels are on line. You take one more 30-inch step with the right (or left) foot. The command is, "Mark time, march." When marching, the command of execution "March," is given as either foot strikes the ground. Mark time is basically marching in place (without moving forward). A coordinated arm swing ceases as the weight of the body shifts to the leading foot when halting.

The heels are together, on line and form a 45-degree angle. Next, the trailing foot is brought smartly alongside your front foot. On the command "Halt," you will take one more 30-inch step. To halt from marching, the command is "Halt," given as either foot strikes the ground.
