abreast of the pivot man. All glance toward the marching flank while at half step and take the full step without command as the last man arrives on the line. =Right (Left) half turn= is executed in a similar manner. The pivot man makes a half change of direction to the right and the other men make quarter changes in obliquing. (118) To Turn on Fixed Pivot =165.= Being in line, to turn and march: =1. Squad right (left), 2. MARCH.= [Illustration] At the second command, the right flank man in the front rank faces to the right in marching and marks time; the other front rank men oblique to the right, place themselves abreast of the pivot, and mark time. In the rear rank the third man from the right, followed in column by the second and first, move straight to the front [Illustration] until in rear of his front-rank man, [Illustration] when all face to the right in marching and mark time; the other number of the rear rank moves straight to the front four paces and places himself abreast of the man on his right.

MARCH.= At the second command, the front rank twice executes squad right initiating the second squad right when the man on the marching flank has arrived abreast of the rank.
