or is 6 paces from him; they return to the carry and turn the head and eyes to the front when the major has passed 6 paces beyond him. Without facing about, each captain or special unit commander, except the drum major, commands: 1. _Eyes_, in time to add, 2. _RIGHT_, when at 6 paces from the reviewing officer, and commands _FRONT_ when at 6 paces beyond him. At the command _eyes_ the company officers armed with the saber execute the first motion of present saber; at the command _right_ all turn head and eyes to the right, the company officers complete _present saber_ and the noncommissioned officers armed with the saber execute the first motion of present saber; at the command _front_ all turn head and eyes to the front, and officers and noncommissioned officers armed with the saber resume the carry saber; without arms in hand the first motion of the hand salute is made at the command _right_ and the second motion not made until the command _front_. Noncommissioned staff officers, noncommissioned officers in command of subdivisions, and the drum major salute, turn the head and eyes, return to the front, resume the carry or drop the hand, at the points prescribed for the major. Officers and dismounted noncommissioned officers 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 colors, 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, draws saber, and rejoins his battalion. The band ceases to play when the column has completed its second change of direction after passing the reviewing officer. (_C.I.D.R., Nos. 6 and 10._) 726. 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
