_General Rules._

711. The adjutant posts men or otherwise marks the points where the
column changes direction in such manner that its flank in passing will
be about 12 paces from the reviewing officer.

The post of the reviewing officer, usually opposite the center of the
line, is indicated by a marker.

Officers of the same or higher grade, and distinguished personages
invited to accompany the reviewing officer, place themselves on his
left; their staffs and orderlies place themselves respectively on the
left of the staff and orderlies of the reviewing officer; all others
who accompany the reviewing officer place themselves on the left of
his staff, their orderlies in rear. A staff officer is designated to
escort distinguished personages and to indicate to them their proper
positions.

712. While riding around the troops, the reviewing officer may direct
his staff, flag, and orderlies to remain at the post of the reviewing
officer, or that only his personal staff and flag shall accompany him;
in either case the commanding officer alone accompanies the reviewing
officer. If the reviewing officer is accompanied by his entire staff,
the staff officers of the commander place themselves on the right of
the staff of the reviewing officer.

The reviewing officer and others at the reviewing stand salute the
color as it passes; when passing around the troops, the reviewing
officer and those accompanying him salute the color when passing in
front of it.

The reviewing officer returns the salute of the commanding officer of
the troops only. Those who accompany the reviewing officer do not
salute. (_C.I.D.R., Nos. 4 and 6._)

713. In passing in review, each staff salutes with its commander.
(_C.I.D.R., Nos. 2 and 4._)

714. After saluting the reviewing officer, the commanding officer of
the troops turns out of the column, takes post on the right of the
reviewing officer, and returns saber; the members of his staff
accompanying him take post on the right of the reviewing officer's
staff and return saber. When the rear element of his command has
passed, without changing his position, the commanding officer of the
troops salutes the reviewing officer; he and the members of his staff
accompanying him then draw saber and rejoin his command. The
commanding officer
