Bear this in mind and walk
straight to the turning point.

Now we come to the last two movements. They cause more trouble than any
others.
FIFTH MOVEMENT ON RIGHT (LEFT) INTO LINE
Being in column of platoons or squads, to form line on right or left: 1.
On right (left) into line, 2. MARCH, 3. Company, 4. HALT, 5. FRONT.
(On right [left] into line, means turn in the direction that is on your
right and get into line. You have to be in column before the movement is
begun.)
Let us first consider the company in column of squads.
[Illustration]
At the captain's command on right into line, the corporal of the leading
squad commands right turn. The corporals of all the remaining squads, if
halted, command forward, if marching they caution their squads to
continue the march. At the captain's command march, the leading squad
turns to the right on a moving pivot. The remaining squads march
straight to the front.
