Whenever the third command (i.e., squad) is given means that the command
halt is to follow. This is caution to the squad to prepare to halt. The
command halt should be given as No. 4 arrives on the line.
Second Movement
SQUAD RIGHT ABOUT
Being in line, to turn about and march: 1. Squad right (left) about, 2.
MARCH.
[Illustration:
This is what we have
This is what we want]
At the command march, the front rank twice executes Squad right,
initiating (starting) the second Squad right when No. 4 has arrived on
the line. That much is very simple.
The rear rank has a harder task. Let us have the front and rear rank
execute the movement separately:
[Illustration]
The rear rank is to take its place on the dotted line a b.
No. 3 rear rank moves straight to the front until in prolongation of
the line to be occupied by the rear rank.
No. 2 follows No. 3.
No. 1 follows No. 2.
When No. 3 arrives on the line to be occupied by the rear rank he
changes direction to the right; he moves in the new direction until in
rear of No.
