and illustrated the step and arm swing, commands: =1. Forward, 2. MARCH=--and to halt the squad he commands: =1. Squad, 2. HALT.= In executing the setting-up exercises on the march the cadence should at first be given slowly and gradually increased as the men become more expert; some exercises require a slow and others a faster pace; it is best in these cases to allow the cadence of the exercise to determine the cadence of the step. The men should march in a single file at proved intervals. The command that causes and discontinues the execution should be given as the left foot strikes the ground. On the march, to discontinue the exercise, command: =1. Quick time, 2. MARCH=, instead of =HALT=, as when at rest. All of the arm, wrist, finger, and shoulder exercises, and some of the trunk and neck, may be executed on the march by the same commands and means as when at rest. The following leg and foot exercises are executed at the command march; the execution always beginning with the left leg or foot. 1. =1. On toes, 2. MARCH.= 2. =1. On heels, 2. MARCH.= 3. =1. On right heel and left toe, 2. MARCH.= 4. =1. On left heel and right toe, 2. MARCH.= 5. =1. On toes with knees stiff, 2. MARCH.= 6. =1. Swing extended leg forward, ankle high, 2. MARCH.= 7. =1. Swing extended leg forward, knee high, 2. MARCH.= 8. =1. Swing extended leg forward, waist high, 2. MARCH.= 9. =1. Swing extended leg forward, shoulder high, 2. MARCH.= 10. =1. Raise heels, 2. MARCH.= 11. =1. Raise knees, thigh horizontal, 2. MARCH.= 12. =1. Raise knees, chest high, 2. MARCH.= 13. =1. Circle extended leg forward, ankle high, 2. MARCH.= 14. =1. Circle extended leg forward, knee high, 2. MARCH.= 15. =1. Circle extended leg forward, waist high, 2. MARCH.= 16. =1. Swing extended leg backward, 2. MARCH.= 17. =1. Swing extended leg sideward, 2. MARCH.= 18. =1. Raise knee and extend leg forward, 2. MARCH.= 19. =1. Raise heels and extend leg forward, 2. MARCH.= DOUBLE TIMING =846.= The length of the step in double time is 36 inches; the cadence is at the rate of 180 steps per minute. To march in double time the instructor commands: =1. Double time, 2. MARCH.= If at a halt, at the first command shift the weight of the body to the right leg. At the command =march= raise the forearms, fingers closed; to a horizontal position along the waist line; take up an ea
