rs in command of subdivisions, with arms in hand, render the rifle or saber salute. Guides charged with the step, trace, and direction do not execute =eyes right=. If the reviewing officer is entitled to a salute from the color the regimental color salutes when at 6 paces from him, and is raised when at 6 paces beyond him. The major, having saluted, takes post on the right of the reviewing officer, returns saber and remains there until the rear of the battalion has passed, then salutes and rejoins his battalion. The band ceases to play when the column has completed its second change of direction after passing the reviewing officer. (725) =632. Passing in review at double time.= When the battalion arrives at its original position in column, the major commands: =1. Double time, 2. MARCH.= The band plays in double time. The battalion passes in review as before, except that in double time the command =eyes right= is omitted and there is no saluting except by the major when he leaves the reviewing officer. The review terminates when the rear company has passed the reviewing officer: the band then ceases to play, and, unless otherwise directed by the major, returns to the position it occupied before marching in review, or is dismissed; the major rejoins the battalion and brings it to =quick time=. The battalion then executes such movements as the reviewing officer may have directed, or is marched to its parade ground and dismissed. Marching past in double time may, in the discretion of the reviewing officer, be omitted; the review terminates when the major rejoins his battalion. (726) =633. Major and staff may be dismounted.= At battalion review the major and his staff may be dismounted in the discretion of the commanding officer. (727) PARADES General Rules =634. Position assumed by reviewing officer and staff while band is sounding off.= If dismounted, the officer reviewing the parade, and his staff, stand at parade rest, with arms folded, while the band is sounding off; they resume attention with the adjutant.

Reports by captains and majors.= At the command =report=, given by a battalion adjutant, the captains in succession from the right salute and report: =A= (or =other=) =company=, =present= or =accounted for=; or =A= (or =other=) =company, (so many) officers= or =enlisted men absent=, and resume the order saber; at the same command given
