QUESTIONS WHICH COME UP IN DAILY MILITARY LIFE.
It is well to have a solution on hand.
(1) The company is in line reversed,--16th squad where 1st squad
should be. Bring the company into proper line, 1-2-3-4; 5-6-7-8;
9-10-11-12; 13-14-15-16.
(2) You are platoon leader. Your platoon is drilling separately and
you get assembled in company line.
16-15-14-13; 12-11-10-9; 4-3-2-1; 5-6-7-8.
What commands do you give to get the platoon into line properly
arranged?
(3) You are in charge of the company and find yourself marching into
the company street in reverse order. What commands do you give to
correct this?
(4) You are marching your company to the rear along a road through a
narrow cut. Suddenly around a bend comes an ambulance. To let it pass,
you must immediately reduce your marching front. What is the quickest
method? (This can be used also in arranging the advance party of the
outguard.)

in column of platoons. What do you command?
