DRILL: MARCH

To the right oblique, MARCH

The soldier standing firm, step off with the right foot, obliquely forward and to the right, and to place it about two feet from the left, turning the point of the toe a little inwards, to prevent the left shoulder being advanced. The soldier will rest in this position.

On the command two, the soldier shall carry his left foot by the shortest line, and place it about one foot and a half from and in front of the right heel; and rest in this position.

The soldier shall continue to march in this manner, at the words one and two, stopping at every step, paying the greatest attention to keeping the shoulders square to the front, and the head direct.

The oblique step to the left is performed in the same manner; the recruit stepping first with the left foot.
