General
This is by no means exhaustive. There are many drill movements. You
must practice. If you are in a squad, listen to the words of command and
learn from them.

It is important to get your drill commands correct. The cadets will expect it.
If you get a command wrong, the cadets will get confused and you will look
foolish.

If you get a command wrong, or the cadets move a different way than you
intended, the first thing you should say is,

"AS YOU WERE"

This command means disregard my last order.

Once the cadets have assumed the previous position, give a correct order.

If an individual cadet gets the movement wrong, the order should be,

"CORRECT YOURSELF” (Never humiliate a cadet)

Words of Command
All words of command should be given as orders; clear, loud & with pauses.
There are three parts to a word of command — Introductory, Cautionary and
Executive.

Introductory
Before a squad is turned in any direction whether at the halt or on the
march, the direction is indicated by an introductory word of command. This word
of command will vary depending on the direction that the squad is facing when
the command is given. The constant factors in determining the direction that the
squad is facing and the direction that it is to face will be the front rank and the
right hand cadet of the squad. i.e.

"MOVE TO THE RIGHT IN THREES"

Cautionary
The cautionary word of command should be consistently drawn out over
about the equivalent of four paces in quick time. i.e.

"R--I--G--H--T".

There should be a pause between it and the executive word of command of:

a) At the Halt — the regulation pause.

b) In Quick Time — about four paces.
c) In Slow Time — about three paces.

Page 2 of 6 0302DR24-25LC
Executive
The executive word of command should be given as a high pitched, short, sharp
command to inspire instant reaction from the squad. i.e.

"TURN!"

Possible Commands
There are many possible commands when taking drill and they depend on the
following.

1. Who are you giving the order to and what do you call them?
If you are drilling a body of cadets who could not be covered by any of the words
below, it is safe to use "SQUAD". Squad is the usual command, but it is not
always correct.

A group of cadets who are on an assessment could be called "CADRE" A star

wing should be referred to as "WING" if all or most are present.

A Company (or a group of cadets representing the Company) should be called

"COMPANY"

If a single unit is on parade, it is courteous to use their unit title e.g. "PLATOON,
SQUADRON", etc.

If more than one Coy or Plt is on parade, the title used is "PARADE".

Escorts to Colours are always referred to by the whole title "ESCORT TO THE
COLOUR".

The title "DETAIL" is only ever used if people have been specifically named
e.g...
"Cadets Smith, Jones and Williams". "DETAIL, DETAIL, SHUN". "FALL
OUT"
This means that the three cadets detailed should fall out. You should never use
names in a command.

2. Which is the advance, retire, left and right?

Generally, the advance is the place where you gave the first command from.
Usually the advance, retire, Left & Right never change once a command has
been given from that position. However, other factors may mean that the
advance is changed.

If there is a saluting dais, flag pole, or other obvious centre of attention on the
square, then that direction may become the advance.

If there are officers or adults on parade, or due to come on parade, they will
usually be to the front of the formed up body. This will become the advance.

Page 3 of 6 0302DR24-25LC
Expect anyone taking over a parade from you to give drill commands with their
position as the new advance. You should not make the situation worse by
changing it back.

3. Which direction are the cadets facing?

The content of the introductory word of command is dependant on which way the
cadets are facing.
You must remember which is the advance and which is the retire.

4. Which way do you want them to go?

5. How many in the group and how many ranks/files?

In the previous section, the command "IN THREES" is used. You should
only use "IN THREES" when the command is a static change of direction.
Any body of cadets larger than 9, should always be in three ranks. If the

Page 4 of 6 0302DR24-25LC
squad is a small one (9 cadets or under) there should be only two ranks.
In this instance you should use "IN FILE”.

If for some reason the squad is in single file, it is quite correct to use, "IN
SINGLE FILE".

If a body of cadets has Officers, Adults or Senior Cadets, either out in front,
or forming a supernumerary (extra) rank behind; the phrase "IN COLUMN
OF ROUTE" may be used. This is generally only used by the Parade
Commander when he wants to turn a parade to the right or left. What will
happen is that any personnel out in front will march off towards the front of
the parade. Any personnel behind will march off to the rear of the parade.
A parade marching in column of route will revert back to "In Threes" when
it is halted. Remember to give time for personnel at the front and rear to
return to their original positions

6. Dressing when a squad is marching

The commands "BY THE RIGHT/LEFT" are used as part of the
introductory words of command when you are moving off a body of cadets.

For example,
"BY THE RIGHT, QUICK MARCH" or "BY THE LEFT, QUICK
MARCH"

Generally you should dress from the Right Marker. Depending on where
he/she is, will dictate whether you dress by the right or left.

A dressing is also given when a squad is wheeled round. Dress by the

inside cadet not the cadet on the outside rank.

If a squad is losing a dressing whilst marching, it is correct to give the

command, "BY THE RIGHT/LEFT" to remind the squad which way they
should dress from.

The command "BY THE FRONT" is only ever used when a single file is
being marched.

The command "BY THE CENTRE" is used for military bands and when a
squad carries out a march past in review order.

7. On which foot do you give cautionary and executive words of

command?

When marching, it is sometimes confusing as to when a cautionary or

executive command is given. The simple answer is (in quick time only) as
the left heel strikes the ground except:

Change Step given as "CHANGE STEP" as Left then Right heels

strike the ground.

Page 5 of 6 0302DR24-25LC
 Left Turn given as "TURN" as the right heel strikes the ground.

About Turn given as "TURN" the left passing the right.

For drill commands given in Quick Time, the cautionary is given over the
length of time it would take to march four paces. It is a good idea to start
the cautionary word of command on the same foot that the executive is
given on. By doing this, the squad is not kept waiting for the executive
command.

Time and Pace

Every instructor should know the rates of marching, lengths of pace and
timings of foot and arms drill that are laid out below:

Rates of Marching.
» Quick Time (normal) 116 paces to the
minute.
» Quick Time (Recruits) up to 140 paces to
the minute.
» Quick Time (Light Infantry and
Green Jacket Regiments) 140 paces to the
minute.
» Slow Time (normal) 65 paces to the
minute.
» Slow Time (Light Infantry and
Green Jacket Regiments) 70 paces to the
minute.
» Double Time 180 paces to the
minute.

Lengths of Pace
» Quick and Slow Time 750 mm (30
inches).
» Stepping Out 830 mm (33 inches).
» Stepping Short 530 mm (21
inches).
» Double Time 1000 mm (40
inches).
» Side Pace 300 mm (12
inches).

Timing of Foot and Arms Drill

A pause is judged between movements of foot and arms drill which would
allow 40 movements to be completed in a minute; this is called the
regulation pause.

demands for accuracy and detail in mapping have come as the result of military needs.
