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 />
