Forward, MARCH At the first word, the soldier will bear the weight of the body on the right leg, keeping the left knee straight. At the second word, the soldier will step off with the left foot, taking a pace of two feet, the toe lowered, so that the foot may be flat; the knee straight; the toe a little turned outwards. He will bear forward the weight of the body, and plant the foot flat and easily at the prescribed distance from the right foot; the weight of the body borne on the foot which comes to the ground. He will then advance the right foot, passing it near the ground, and bring it down as directed for the left. He will march on in this manner, without throwing his legs across each other, keeping his shoulder square to the front, and his head in the direct position prescribed.
