The inspection ended, the adjutant places himself about 30 yards in front of and facing the center of the guard and draws saber. The new officer of the day takes post in front of and facing the guard about 30 yards from the adjutant. The old officer of the day takes post 3 yards to the right of and 1 yard less advanced than the new officer of the day. The commander of the guard takes post 8 yards in front of the right trooper, facing to the front, and draws saber. The adjutant then commands: 1. =Draw=, 2. =SABER=, 3. =SOUND OFF.= The band, playing, passes in front of the commander of the guard to the left of the line and back to its post on the right, when it ceases playing. The adjutant then commands =POSTS=, at which platoon leaders take their posts 3 yards in front of the guides of their platoons, facing to the front, and the commander of the guard takes post 6 yards in front of the leader of the center (right) platoon, facing to the front, and the file closers resume their places 3 yards in rear of the rank. If there be no junior officer of the guard, the commander of the guard takes post 3 yards in front of the center guide. The commander of the guard and the chiefs of platoon and file closers having taken their posts, the adjutant commands: 1. =Present=, 2. =SABER=, faces toward the officer of the day, salutes, and then reports, _Sir, the guard is formed_. The new officer of the day, after the adjutant has reported, salutes with the hand and directs the adjutant, _March the guard in review, Sir._ =861.= The adjutant turns about, brings the guard to a carry, and commands: 1. =Platoons right turn=, 2. =MARCH=; 3. =Guard=, 4. =HALT.= The platoons execute the movement as in the troop, the band takes post in front of the column (Par 806). The adjutant places himself abreast of the first platoon and 6 yards from its left flank; the sergeant major abreast of the second platoon and 6 yards from its left flank. The adjutant then commands: 1. =Pass in review=, 2. =FORWARD=, 3. =MARCH.= The guard marches at the walk past the officer of the day, according to the principles of squadron review, the adjutant, commander of the guard, chiefs of platoon, sergeant major, and drum major saluting. The new officer of the day returns the salute of the commander of the guard and the adjutant only, making one salute with the hand. =862.= The band, having passed the officer of the day, turns to the left out of the column, places itself opposite to and facing him, and continues to play until the guard leaves the parade ground. The buglers detach themselves from the band when the latter turns out of the column and remain in front of the guard, commencing to play when the band ceases. In the absence of the band the buglers do not turn out of the column, but continue to play in front of the guard.
