At the command _posts_, officers face outward and, at the command _march_, step off in succession at 4 paces distance, resume their posts and order saber; the lieutenants march directly to their posts in rear of their companies. The music ceases when all officers have resumed their posts. The major then commands: 1. _Pass in review_, 2. _Squads right_, 3. _MARCH_, and returns saber. The battalion marches according to the principles of review; when the last company has passed, the ceremony is concluded. The band continues to play while the companies are in march upon the parade ground. Companies are formed in column of squads, without halting, and are marched to their respective parades by their captains. When the company officers have saluted the major, he may direct them to form line with the staff, in which case they individually move to the front, passing to the right and left of the major and staff, halt on the line established by the staff, face about, and stand at attention. The music ceases when the officers join the staff. The major causes the companies to pass in review under the command of their first sergeants by the same commands as before. The company officers return saber with the major and remain at attention. (_C.I.D.R., No. 19._) _Regimental Parade._ 735. The regiment is formed in line or in line of masses; the formation having proceeded up to, but not including the _present_, the parade proceeds as described for the battalion, with the following exceptions: "Colonel" is substituted for "major," "regiment" for "battalion," in the description, and "battalions" for "battalion" in the commands. Lieutenants remain in the line of file closers. After publishing the orders, the adjutant commands: 1. _Officers, center_, 2. _MARCH_. The company commanders remain at their posts with their companies. The field and staff officers form one line, closing on the center. The senior commands: 1. _Forward_, 2. _MARCH_. The second major is the guide and marches on the colonel. After being dismissed by the colonel, each major moves individually to the front, turns outward, and followed by his staff resumes his post by the most direct line. The colonel directs the lieutenant colonel to march the regiment in review; the latter moves to a point midway between the colonel and the regiment and marches the regiment in review as prescribed. If the lieutenant colonel is not present the colonel gives the necessary commands for marching the regiment in review. _ESCORTS._ _Escort of the Color._ 736. The regiment being in line, or line of masses, the colonel details a company, other than the color company, to receive and escort the national color to its place. During the ceremony the regimental color remains with the color guard at its post with the regiment.
