{ When the squad is on the march in line, and { is required to move in a diagonal direction to { the right, the command _Right--Incline_ will be { given, upon which the men will turn half right, { and move diagonally in that direction, each _Right--Incline._ { regulating his pace so that his own shoulders { are parallel with the shoulders of the man on { his right. This man’s head should conceal the { heads of the other men towards the right. The { right hand man will direct, and must therefore { pay particular attention to the direction and { pace. { When it is intended to resume the original _Left--Incline._ { direction, the word _Left--Incline_ will be { given, on which every man will move forward in { the original direction without checking his pace. [Illustration: PLATE I. THE DIAGONAL MARCH. _Fig. 1._ _Right Incline._ _Fig. 2._ _Changing Direction._ _At the Halt. Right-form._ _Fig. 3._ _Forming up on the Right. Form Squad._] The diagonal march may, if necessary, be taught from the halt. If the diagonal march has been properly performed, the squad when halted, or after the words _Left--Incline_, will be found to be in a line parallel to its original position. The diagonal march will also be practised in double time. =29.= _Changing Direction._ (PLATE I, Fig. 2.) _At the Halt.

The squad will also practise forming at any angle. 3. When it is intended to move forward in the new direction after forming, the words _At the Halt_ will be omitted, the men will mark time when formed, and the word _Forward_ will follow. 4. _On the March._--On the command _Right--Form_, the right-hand man will turn in the required direction, and mark time, while the remainder will make a partial turn, and move by the shortest line to their places on the new alignment. As each man arrives in his place he will mark time and take up his dressing independently.
