United States. Army. Infantry -- Drill and tactics
Without facing about, each captain or special unit commander, except
the drum major, commands: 1. _Eyes_, in time to add, 2. _RIGHT_, when
at 6 paces from the reviewing officer, and commands _FRONT_ when at 6
paces beyond him. At the command _eyes_ the company officers armed
with the saber execute the first motion of present saber; at the
command _right_ all turn head and eyes to the right, the company
officers complete _present saber_ and the noncommissioned officers
armed with the saber execute the first motion of present saber; at the
command _front_ all turn head and eyes to the front, and officers and
noncommissioned officers armed with the saber resume the carry saber;
without arms in hand the first motion of the hand salute is made at
the command _right_ and the second motion not made until the command
_front_.
Noncommissioned staff officers, noncommissioned officers in command of
subdivisions, and the drum major salute, turn the head and eyes,
return to the front, resume the carry or drop the hand, at the points
prescribed for the major. Officers and dismounted noncommissioned
officers in command of subdivisions with arms in hand render the rifle
or saber salute. Guides charged with the step, trace, and direction do
not execute _eyes right_.
If the reviewing officer is entitled to a salute from the colors, the
regimental color salutes when at 6 paces from him, and is raised when
at 6 paces beyond him.
The major, having saluted, takes post on the right of the reviewing
officer, returns saber and remains there until the rear of the
battalion has passed, then salutes, draws saber, and rejoins his
battalion. The band ceases to play when the column has completed its
second change of direction after passing the reviewing officer.
(_C.I.D.R., Nos. 6 and 10._)
726. When the battalion arrives at its original position in column,
the major commands: 1. _Double time_, 2. _MARCH_.
The band plays in double time.
The battalion passes in review as before, except that in double time
the command _eyes right_ is omitted and there is no saluting except by
the major when he leaves the reviewing officer.
The review terminates when the rear company has passed the reviewing
officer; the band then ceases to play, and, unless otherwise directed
by the major, returns to the position it occupied before marching in
review, or is dismissed; the major rejoins the battalion and brings it
to _quick time_. The battalion then executes such movements as the
reviewing officer may have directed, or is marched to its parade
ground and dismissed.
Marching past in double time may, in the discretion of the reviewing
officer, be omitted; the review terminates when the major rejoins his
battalion.
727. At battalion review the major and his staff may be dismounted in
the discretion of the commanding officer.
_Regimental Review._
728. The regiment is formed in line or in line of masses.
