13-1. ELEMENTS OF A REVIEW<br />
CHAPTER 13<br />
REVIEWS<br />
A review consists of four parts:<br />
a. Formation of troops.<br />
b. Presentation <strong>and</strong> honors.<br />
C. Inspection (trooping the line).<br />
d. March in review.<br />
13-2. COMMAND OF TROOPS<br />
The senior officer taking part in a ceremony is designated<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>er of troops. He is responsible for the formation, presentation,<br />
<strong>and</strong> march in review. When a comm<strong>and</strong>er reviews his own troops, he<br />
designates another officer as comm<strong>and</strong>er of troops. When the review is<br />
given for an important visitor or senior comm<strong>and</strong>er, the local comm<strong>and</strong>er<br />
designates another officer so he may accompany the visitor or senior<br />
during the review.<br />
13-3. PREPARATIONS<br />
The line on which troops are to form <strong>and</strong> along which they are to<br />
march is marked out or otherwise designated by the adjutant of the unit.<br />
The post of the reviewing officer, opposite the center of the line of<br />
troops, is marked on each flank with a flag. Figure 13-1 depicts the<br />
minimum marking for a review. Additional flat markers may be used to<br />
designate the subordinate unit comm<strong>and</strong>er’s posts, unit guide posts, <strong>and</strong><br />
turning points for approaching the line of troops.<br />
