of the troops and the members of his staff are the
only ones who turn out of the column.
(_C.I.D.R., No. 10._)
715. If the person reviewing the command is not mounted, the
commanding officer and his staff on turning out of the column after
passing the reviewing officer dismount preparatory to taking post. In
such case, the salute of the commanding officer, prior to rejoining
his command, is made with the hand before remounting.
716. When the rank of the reviewing officer entitles him to the honor,
each regimental color salutes at the command _present arms_, given or
repeated by the major of the battalion with which it is posted; and
again in passing in review.
717. The band of an organization plays while the reviewing officer is
passing in front of and in rear of the organization.
Each band, immediately after passing the reviewing officer, turns out
of the column, takes post in front of and facing him, continues to
play until its regiment has passed, then ceases playing and follows in
rear of its regiment; the band of the following regiment commences to
play as soon as the preceding band has ceased.
While marching in review but one band in each brigade plays at a time,
and but one band at a time when within 100 paces of the reviewing
officer.
718. If the rank of the reviewing officer entitles him to the honor,
the band plays the prescribed _national air_ or the field music sounds
_to the color_, _march_, _flourishes_, or _ruffles_ when arms are
presented. When passing in review at the moment the regimental color
salutes, the musicians halted in front of the reviewing officer, sound
_to the color_, _march_, _flourishes_, or _ruffles_. (_C.I.D.R., No.
6._)
719. The formation for review may be modified to suit the ground, and
the _present arms_ and the ride around the line by the reviewing
officer may be dispensed with.
720. If the post of the reviewing officer is on the left of the
column, the troops march in review with the guide left; the commanding
officer and his staff turn out of the column to the left, taking post
as prescribed above, but to the left of the reviewing officer; in
saluting, the captains give the command: 1. _Eyes_, 2. _LEFT_.
721. Except in the review of a single battalion, the troops pass in
review in quick time only.
722. In reviews of brigades or larger commands, each battalion, after
the rear has passed the reviewing officer 50 paces, takes the double
time for 100 yards i
