(4) The throat, mouth, and nose act as amplifiers. They give fullness to and help project the voice. In giving commands, the throat should be relaxed. The lower jaw and lips should be loose. The mouth should be open wide and the vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u) should be prolonged. Consonants (letters other than vowels) and word endings should be curt and sharply cut off. (5) The position of attention is the proper posture for giving commands (see fig. 1-4). A commander’s posture will be noticed by his Marines. If it is unmilitary, his men are likely to copy it. Raising the hand to the mouth to aid in projecting commands is not proper Figure 1-4. -Correct Posture for Giving Commands. (6) Distinct commands inspire troops. Indistinct commands confuse them. All commands can be given correctly without loss of effect or cadence. To give distinct commands, you must emphasize enunciation; make full use of the tongue, lips, and lower jaw; practice giving commands slowly, carefully, and in cadence; and then increase the rate of delivery until the proper rhythm (120 beats per minute) is reached and each syllable is distinct. 1-8
(7) Inflection is the rise and fall in pitch, the tone changes of the voice. (a) Preparatory commands should be delivered with a rising inflection, having begun near the level of the natural talking voice. (b) A command of execution is given in a sharper and higher pitch than the tone of the preparatory command’s last syllable. A good command of execution has no inflection. It must have snap. It should be delivered with sharp emphasis, ending like the crack of a whip. If properly given, Marines will react to it in the same manner. (c) Commands such as FALL IN, in which the preparatory command and the command of execution are combined, are delivered without inflection. They are given in the uniform high pitch and loudness of a command of execution. 1-5. GENERAL RULES FOR DRILL a. Certain drill movements may be made toward either flank. This manual explains such movements in one direction only. To move to the other direction, it is necessary to substitute the word "left" for "right" as shown in parentheses. b. The command AS YOU WERE cancels a movement or order started but not completed. At this command, troops should resume their former positions. c. While marching, guide is always maintained toward the right, except: (1) Upon command GUIDE LEFT, or GUIDE CENTER, in which case guide is maintained toward the left, or center, until the command GUIDE RIGHT is given. (2) Regardless of the direction in which alignment is established, at the command of execution for a drill movement involving marching, the direction toward which alignment is obtained is the flank toward which the movement is made. Upon completion of the drill movement, alignment will be in the direction established prior to commencing the movement. (3) In a column of platoons, the guide of the leading platoon controls direction and distance, and maintains the cadence counted by the commander. Guides of the following platoons control distances and follow the direction and cadence set by the leading guide. d. Slight changes in direction are made by: (1) Adding "HALF" to the preparatory command for turning or column movements; for example, COLUMN HALF RIGHT (LEFT), MARCH changes direction 45 degrees. (2) At the command INCLINE TO THE RIGHT (LEFT), the guide changes his direction of march slightly to the right (left). e. Platoons in a company and Marines in a squad are numbered from right to left in line, as the troops face, and from front to rear in column. Squads in a platoon are numbered from front to rear in line and from left to right in column. f. Posts of officers, noncommissioned officers, guidon bearers, and special units are shown in figures or explained later in the text. 1-9
