Marine corps drill and ceremonies manual - Regimental Drum Major ...

i. When the regimental commander or adjutant gives commands for
drill movements to be executed by the troops, the command is given in a
voice just loud enough to be distinctly heard by subordinate commanders
and in a manner so as not to cause executor by the troops. Subordinate
battalion and independent company commanders, in succession from right to
left in line or front to rear in column, then give the necessary
preparatory command and command of execution for the movement. For
example, the regimental adjutant orders PRESENT ARMS in a manner which
does not demand execution by the troops. Each subordinate battalion and
independent company, in succession, executes the movement only when the
command PRESENT, ARMS is given by its commander.
