(or _Right_). } 2. If it is intended to halt at the place where the movement is commenced, the caution _At the Halt_ will be given, and the leading man will halt instead of marking time, the remainder doing the same as they reach their places, and taking up their dressing. =33.= _Marching with arms._ Squads with arms will be practised in the different marches, and variations of step, described in the foregoing sections. During these practices, the closest attention must be paid to the position of each individual recruit. The disengaged arm will be allowed to swing naturally, except when doubling with arms at the slope, when it will be bent as in the double march S. =21=. When men parade with arms they will invariably fall in at the _Order_, each man occupying 30 inches, and _Stand at Ease_. _Coming to Attention._--The squad, when standing easy, will stand at ease on the caution _Squad_, and will come to attention and slope arms on the command _Slope--Arms_; it will order arms from the _Slope_, stand at ease, and stand easy, on the command _Stand--Easy_. SQUAD DRILL, IN TWO RANKS. =34.= _Formation of a squad in two ranks._ The squad will now be formed for drill in two ranks. The men will take their places in succession, commencing from the flank on which they are ordered to form, and each occupying a space of 30 inches. Each man of the rear rank will be placed 60 inches from the man in front of him, measuring from heel to heel, and will cover him correctly, the two men thus placed forming a _File_. The squad will be numbered from right to left; when it consists of an uneven number of men, the third man from the left of the front rank will be a _Blank_ (or incomplete) _File_, that is, he will have no rear rank man. If the squad is required to drill with intervals, it will be numbered from the right, and will then receive the command _Odd numbers of the front rank two paces forward, even numbers of the rear rank two paces step back--March_. To re-form the squad, on the command _Reform Ranks--March_, the odd numbers of the front rank will step back two paces, and the even numbers of the rear rank step forward two paces.
