The assembly while marching to the rear is not executed.
Note. It will be better for the beginner to let the remainder of
this chapter go for awhile. Your instructor will explain all of the
following points in a way that will be easier for you than for you
to try to work them out alone. They will come up in the first
month's work and will be explained and shown as you go along. As
you become more proficient we advise you, then, to take up the
remainder of the chapter.
