In line the review proceeds as in the battalion, substituting
"colonel" for "major" and "regiment" for "battalion."
To march the regiment in review, the colonel commands: _PASS IN
REVIEW_. The band changes direction, if necessary, and halts. Each
major then commands: 1. _Squads right_, 2. _MARCH_.
The band marches at the command of the major of the leading battalion.
At the second change of direction each major takes post 20 paces in
front of his leading company.
The rear of the column having passed the reviewing officer, the
battalions, unless otherwise directed, are marched to their parades
and dismissed.
In line of masses, when the reviewing officer has passed around the
regiment, the colonel commands: _PASS IN REVIEW_. The band changes
direction, if necessary, and halts. The major of the right battalion
then commands: 1. _Column of squads, first company, squads right_, 2.
_MARCH_. At the third command the band and the leading company of the
right battalion move off. Each company and battalion in rear moves off
in time to follow at its proper distance.
729. The review of a small body of troops composed of different arms
is conducted on the principles laid down for the regiment. The troops
of each arm are formed and marched according to the drill regulations
for that arm.
_Review of Large Commands._
730. A command consisting of one regiment, or less, and detachments of
other arms is formed for review as ordered by the commanding officer.
The principles of regimental review will be observed whenever
practicable.
731. In the review of a brigade or larger command the _present arms_
and the ride around the line by the reviewing officer are omitted. The
troops form and march in the order prescribed by the commanding
officer.
_PARADES._
_General Rules._
732. If dismounted, the officer receiving the parade, and his staff,
stand at parade rest, with arms folded, while the band is sounding
off; they resume attention with the adjutant. If mounted, they remain
at attention.
733. At the command _report_, given by a battalion adjutant, the
captains in succession from the right salute and report: _A (_ or
_other) company, present_ or _accounted for_; or, _A (_or _other)
company, (so many) officers_ or _enlisted men absent_, and resume the
order saber; at the same command given by the regimental adjutant, the
majors similarly report their battalions.
_Battalion Parade._
734. At _adjutant's call_ the battalion is formed in line but not
presented. Lieutenants take their posts in front of the center of
their respective platoons at the captain's command for dressing his
company on the line. The major takes post at a convenient distance in
front of the center and facing the battalion.
The adjutant, from his post in front of the center of the battalion,
after commanding: 1. _Guides_, 2. _POSTS_, adds: 1. _Parade_, 2.
_REST_; the battalion executes parade rest. The adjutant directs the
band: _SOUND OFF_.
