Pieces are never stacked with the bayonet fixed.
CHAPTER V
SCHOOL OF THE COMPANY
Based on the Infantry Drill Regulations
The company in line is formed in double rank with the men arranged, as
far as practicable, according to height from right to left, the tallest
on the right.
The original division into squads is effected by the command: Count off.
The squads, successively from the right, count off as in the School of
the Squad, corporals placing themselves as No. 4 of the front rank.
At the formation of the company the platoons or squads are numbered
consecutively from right to left, and these designations do not change.
For convenience in giving commands and for reference, the designations,
right, center, left, when in line, and leading, center, rear, when
in column, are applied to platoons or squads. These designations,
right, center, left, when in line, and leading, center, rear, when
in column, are applied to the actual right, left, center, head, or rear,
in whatever direction the company may be facing.
