(15) The review terminates when the rear unit has passed the reviewing officer. The band then ceases to play and, unless otherwise directed by the battalion commander, returns to the position it occupied before passing in review, or is dismissed. The battalion then executes such movements as the reviewing officer may have directed, or marches to its parade ground to be dismissed.

b. At the battalion review the battalion commander and his staff may, in the discretion of the commanding officer, be dismounted.

9. Regimental review.-a. (1) The regiment ordinarily is formed in line of battalions in column of close columns as prescribed in TR 420-80, or in case of companies at peace or reduced strength, when not divided into platoons, in line each battalion being in close column.

(2) The review proceeds as prescribed for the battalion, except that "regimental commander" is substituted for "battalion commander" and "regiment" for "battalion."

(3) At the regimental commander's command Present arms, the battalion commander of the center battalion commander: 1.Present, 2. ARMS. The other battalion commanders, successively from the center, bring their battalions to present arms. Order arms is similarly executed.

(4) To march the regiment in review, the regimental commander commands, orders, or signals: Pass in review. At this command the band changes direction, if necessary, and halts.

(5) (a) When the regiment is formed in line of battalions in column of close columns, and the band has halted, the battalion commander of the right battalion commands: 1. Column of close lines, 2. First company, squads right, 3. MARCH. At the command March, the band and the leading company of the right battalion move off, the band playing. The other companies of the right battalion move forward successively in time to execute squads right (column right for the machinegun company) on the same ground as the leading company, and follow the preceding company at 15 paces. Other battalion commanders, successively from the right, move their battalions by the same commands and in a similar manner in time to follow the preceding battalion at 30 paces. The band and companies change direction without command from the battalion commanders and pass in review in close column. At the first change of direction rifle companies execute squads left and at the second change column left. The machine-gun company executes column left at each change of direction. (b) When the regiment is formed in line of battalions, each battalion in close column, companies being at peace or reduced strength and not divided into platoons, and the band has halted, the battalion commander of the right battalion commands: 1. Column of squads, 2. First company, squads right, 3. MARCH. At the command March, the band and the leading company of the right battalion move off, the band playing. The other rifle companies of the right battalion move forward successively in time to execute squads right on the same ground as the leading company and follow the preceding company at 5

paces.

The machine-gun company moves forward and executes right turn in time to follow the preceding company at a distance of machine-gun company front and 5 paces, and so that the left guide will cover the guides of the rifle companies. Other battalion commanders, successively from the right, move their battalions by the same command and in a similar manner in time to follow the preceding battalion at 30 paces. The band and companies change direction without command from the battalion commanders and pass in review in column of companies. At the first change of direction each battalion executes column left, the machine-gun company changing direction at such time as will permit the right guide to cover the right flank of the column, and at the second change each battalion forms column of companies.

(6) At the second change of direction each battalion commander takes post 15 paces in front of his leading company. The regimental commander takes post 30 paces in front of the band immediately after the second change of direction.

(7) The march of the combined special units is conducted similarly to that of a battalion.

(8) The commands Eyes right and Front are given as prescribed for battalion review.

(9) The rear of the column having passed the reviewing officer, the battalions and special units ordinarily are marched to their parades and dismissed.

b. The review of a small body of troops composed of different arms is conducted on the principles laid down for the regiment. The troops of each arm are formed and marched so as to conform to the movement of the infantry.

(2) The basic units of movement are the infantry battalion and the field artillery battery.

d. The reviewing officer takes post opposite the center of the command. The commanding officer of the troops commands: 1. Present, 2. ARMS. Battalion and other units are presented and brought to the order successively from the center as prescribed for the regimental review. Only the commanding officer of the troops and battalion commanders give the command Present arms. Brigade and regimental commanders and their staff salute as soon as their last battalions have presented.

e. (1) The reviewing officer receives the present in front of the center of the command. After passing around the command, he takes post at a convenient distance in front and to the right of the right flank. The commanding officer of the troops then commands, orders, or signals: Pass in

review. The movement is initiated by the right regiment as prescribed for the regiment. At the command Pass in review, the band changes direction to the right and halts. The battalion commander of the right battalion commands: 1. Column right, 2. MARCH. At the command March the battalion, in column of close columns with guide left and preceded by the band, moves off to the right, the band playing. The band turns to the left out of column when 50 to 100 paces beyond the reviewing officer, and moves a sufficient distance in the new direction to countermarch and halt on the line with him. The other battalions of the right regiment move successively to the right in like manner, in time to follow the preceding battalion, in column of close columns at 30 paces. The right battalion of each succeeding regiment moves to the right in time to follow the preceding unit at 60 paces. The distance between brigades is 90 paces.

(2) Eyes left is executed similarly to the method of executing Eyes right as prescribed for the regiment.

(3) The foregoing formation may be modified to conform to available terrain.

(4) The command may pass in review toward either flank or to the front of either flank when required by the condition of the ground.

c. The band, playing in quick time, moves forward. It executes column left so as to march across the front of the battalion midway between the

adjutant and the line of company commanders. When the band has passed the left of the line it countermarches and returns over the same ground to the right of the line. After it passes beyond the right of the battalion it executes column right. When the entire band has passed beyond the front rank of the battalion it again countermarches and halts in its original position. At evening parade, when the band ceases playing, retreat is sounded by the field music. Following the last note and while the flag is being lowered, the band plays The National Anthem.

d. Just before the last note of retreat, the adjutant comes to attention and at the ending of the last note commands: 1. Battalion, 2. ATTENTION, 3. Present, 4. ARMS. The adjutant then salutes. The battalion remains at present arms during the playing of The National Anthem. The adjutant then turns about, salutes and reports "Sir, the parade is formed." The battalion commander directs the adjutant "Take your post, Sir," and draws saber. The adjutant moves at a trot (in quick time if dismounted), passes by the battalion commander's right, and takes his post.

e. The battalion commander then commands: 1. Order, 2. ARMS, and gives such movements in the manual of arms as he may desire. Officers, noncommissioned officers commanding platoons, the color guard, and guidon bearers having once executed the order, remain in that position during the movements of the manual.

f. The battalion commander then directs the adjutant "Receive the reports, Sir." The adjutant, passing by the battalion commander's right, advances at a trot (in quick time if dismounted) toward the center of the battalion, halts midway between it and the battalion commander and commands: REPORT.

When the company commanders have saluted the battalion commander, as explained in subparagraph k, he may direct them to form line with his staff, in which case they move individually to the front, passing to the right and left of the battalion commander, place themselves on the left of the line established by the staff and stand at attention. The music ceases when the company commanders join the staff. When the company commanders take post on line with the staff the second in command of each company immediately assumes command. The battalion commander then causes the companies as heretofore prescribed to pass in review.
