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. 727. At battalion review the major and his staff may be dismounted in the discretion of the commanding officer. _Regimental Review._ 728. The regiment is formed in line or in line of masses. In line the review proceeds as in the battalion, substituting "colonel" for "major" and "regiment" for "battalion." To march the regiment in review, the colonel commands: _PASS IN REVIEW_. The band changes direction, if necessary, and halts. Each major then commands: 1. _Squads right_, 2. _MARCH_. The band marches at the command of the major of the leading battalion. At the second change of direction each major takes post 20 paces in front of his leading company. The rear of the column having passed the reviewing officer, the battalions, unless otherwise directed, are marched to their parades and dismissed.

The major of the right battalion then commands: 1. _Column of squads, first company, squads right_, 2. _MARCH_. At the third command the band and the leading company of the right battalion move off. Each company and battalion in rear moves off in time to follow at its proper distance. 729.
