of the pivot man. All glance toward the marching flank while at half step and take the full step without command as the last man arrives on the line. _Right (Left) half turn_ is executed in a similar manner. The pivot man makes a half change of direction to the right and the other men make quarter changes in obliquing. (_C.I.D.R., No. 2._) _To Turn on Fixed Pivot._ 119. Being in line, to turn and march: 1. _Squad right (left)_, 2. _MARCH_. At the second command, the right flank man in the front rank faces to the right in marching and marks time; the other front rank men oblique to the right, place themselves abreast of the pivot, and mark time. In the rear rank the third man from the right, followed in column by the second and first, moves straight to the front until in rear of his front-rank man, when all face to the right in marching and mark time; the other number of the rear rank moves straight to the front four paces and places himself abreast of the man on his right. Men on the new line glance toward the marching flank while marking time and, as the last man arrives on the line, both ranks execute _forward, march_, without command. 120. Being in line, to turn and halt: 1. _Squad right (left)_, 2. _MARCH_, 3. _Squad_, 4. _HALT_. The third command is given immediately after the second. The turn is executed as prescribed in the preceding paragraph except that all men, on arriving on the new line, mark time until the fourth command is given, when all halt. The fourth command should be given as the last man arrives on the line. 121. Being in line, to turn about and march: 1. _Squad right (left) about_, 2. _MARCH_. At the second command, the front rank twice executes _squad right_, initiating the second _squad right_ when the man on the marching flank has arrived abreast of the rank. In the rear rank the third man from the right, followed by the second and first in column, moves straight to the front until on the prolongation of the line to be occupied by the rear rank; changes direction to the right; moves in the new direction until in rear of his front-rank man, when all face to the right in marching, mark time, and glance toward the marching flank. The fourth man marches on the left of the third to his new position; as he arrives on the line, both ranks execute _forward, march_, without command. 122. Being in line, to turn about and halt: 1. _Squad right (left) about_, 2. _MARCH_, 3. _Squad_,
