(1) Changes of post are made by the most direct route, except where others are prescribed. The movement is made as soon as possible after the command of execution. Persons who have duties in connection with the movement take their new posts after those duties have been performed. Military bearing must be maintained by individuals moving from one post to another or aligning units. All necessary facings and changes of direction must be made as if drilling. (2) After the initial formation, guidon bearers and special units maintain their positions with respect to the flank or end of the organization with which they were originally posted. (3) All officers or noncommissioned officers commanding armed troops will be armed. When giving commands, drilling troops, or making reports, the rifle will be carried at right shoulder arms, the sword will be carried at the carry sword position, and the pistol will be carried in the holster (see fig. 1-4). Facing movements by commanders of armed troops may be executed while at right shoulder arms. g. Whenever drill movements are executed while troops are marching, the command of execution MARCH is given as the left foot strikes the deck if the movement is to the left, and as the right foot strikes the deck if the movement is to the right. h. The cadence of commands should be that of quick time, even though no marching is involved. Giving commands in unison while marching at quick time is a good exercise for teaching proper command cadence to troops. The pause between preparatory commands and those of execution should be adapted to the size and formation of the unit. (1) The best pause to allow for a squad or platoon is one step between the two commands. For example: ONE TWO THREE COLUMN LEFT (Step) MARCH (a) To develop the proper cadence for commands at a halt, count ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR in quick time. Then give commands (RIGHT, FACE) without interrupting the cadence: ONE TWO THREE FOUR RIGHT, FACE (b) Longer commands, such as BY THE RIGHT FLANK, MARCH, must be started so the preparatory command will end as the foot in the desired direction of movement strikes the deck. There is then a full count before the command of execution, which is given on the same foot. For example: LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT BY THE RIGHT FLANK, MARCH (2) For a company or larger unit, the intervals must be longer. This is necessary for leaders of component units to repeat preparatory commands or give warning or supplementary commands. The following example shows the proper cadence for the command RIGHT, FACE to a company: ONE TWO THREE FOUR (Company (Platoon (Company Commander) Commander) Commander) RIGHT RIGHT FACE 1-10
1-6. DRILL, BY THE NUMBERS Drill movements may be divided into individual motions for instruction. When drills are executed by the numbers, the first motion is made on the command of execution. Subsequent motions are made in proper order on the commands TWO, THREE, FOUR, the number of counts depending upon the number of motions in the movement. To use this method, the command BY THE NUMBERS precedes the preparatory command. All movements are then executed by the numbers until the command WITHOUT NUMBERS is given. 1-7. MASS COMMANDS AND INDIVIDUAL COMMANDS FROM RANKS a. Mass Commands. The use of mass commands in drill develops confidence and team spirit. It also teaches Marines to give and execute commands properly. (1) The initial command is AT YOUR COMMAND. The instructor then gives a preparatory command which describes the movement he wants performed, for example, AT YOUR COMMAND, FACE THE PLATOON TO THE RIGHT, COMMAND. After this, all members of the platoon command RIGHT, FACE together and execute it. Another mass command example is AT YOUR COMMAND, CALL THE PLATOON TO ATTENTION, COMMAND. The troops command PLATOON, ATTENTION. (2) Marching movements may be conducted in a similar manner as follows: ALL MOVEMENTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE WILL BE AT YOUR COMMAND. (a) INSTRUCTOR: CALL THE PLATOON TO ATTENTION, COMMAND. TROOPS: PLATOON, ATTENTION. (b) INSTRUCTOR: FORWARD, COMMAND. TROOPS: FORWARD, MARCH. (c) INSTRUCTOR: BY THE RIGHT FLANK, COMMAND. TROOPS: BY THE RIGHT FLANK, MARCH. (3) Only simple movements with short preparatory commands are used to mass commands. Preparatory commands which require repetition by subordinate leaders are not used. (4) When he wishes to return to normal drill methods, the instructor orders AT MY COMMAND. h. Individual Commands From Ranks. As an aid in training Marines to give commands properly, Marines in ranks may be designated to give individual commands. This should be done only after a unit has learned to execute commands and give mass commands. The instructor designates the Marine who is to give the command by name or place in ranks. He may be designated while the unit is marching or halted. The instructor describes the movement to be made, as in mass commands, but does not add command. The designated Marine remains in his position and gives the appropriate command. He must execute the command with the unit. After the Marine has given several commands, the instructor should ask for comments about the performance. c. Counting Cadence. Counting cadence by Marines in ranks teaches them group coordination and rhythm. The command is COUNT CADENCE, COUNT, the command of execution being given as the left foot hits the deck. All Marines then count cadence for 8 steps, starting when the left foot next strikes the deck. They should be required to do so in a firm, vigorous manner. 1-11
