all_ or _assemble_ the leading
battalion marches to, and halts at, the indicated point. The other
battalions take positions from which they may conveniently follow in
their proper places.

335. For ceremonies, or when directed, the regiment is formed in line
or line of masses.

The adjutant posts himself so as to be 6 paces to the right of the
right or leading company of the right battalion when the regiment is
formed and faces in the direction in which the line is to extend.
_Adjutant's call_ is sounded; the band plays.

The adjutant indicates to the adjutant of the right battalion the
point of rest and the direction in which the line is to extend, and
then takes post facing the regiment midway between the post of the
colonel and the center of the regiment. Each of the other battalion
adjutants precedes his battalion to the line and marks its point of
rest.

The battalions, arriving from the rear, each in line or close column,
as the case may be, are halted on the line successively from right to
left in their proper order and places. Upon halting, each major
commands: 1. _Right_, 2. _DRESS_. The battalion adjutant assists in
aligning the battalion and then takes his post.

The band, arriving from the rear, takes its place in line when the
right battalion has halted; it ceases playing when the left battalion
has halted. The machine-gun company and the mounted scouts (or
detachment) take their places in line after the center battalion has
halted.

The colonel and those who accompany him take post.

When all parts of the line have been dressed, and officers and all
others have reached their posts, the adjutant commands: 1. _Present_,
2. _ARMS_. He then turns about and reports to the colonel: _Sir, the
regiment is formed_; the colonel directs the adjutant: _Take your
post, Sir_, draws saber and brings the regiment to the order. The
adjutant takes his post, passing to the right of the colonel.

_To Dismiss the Regiment._

336. Being in any formation: _DISMISS YOUR BATTALIONS_. Each major
marches his battalion off and dismisses it.

_Movements by the Regiment._

337. The regiment executes the _halt_, _rests_, _facings_, _steps_ and
_marchings_, _manual of arms_, resumes _attention_, _kneels_, _lies
down_, _rises_, _stacks_ and _takes arms_, as explained in the Schools
of the Soldier and Squad, substituting in the commands, when
necessary, _battalions_ for _squad_.

The regiment executes _squads right (le
