The instructor, when necessary, indicates the cadence of the step by
calling _one, two, three, four_, or _left, right_, the instant the
left and right foot, respectively, should be planted.

61. All steps and marchings and movements involving march are executed
in _quick time_ unless the squad be marching in _double time_, or
_double time_ be added to the command; in the latter case _double
time_ is added to the preparatory command. Example: 1. _Squad right,
double time_, 2. _MARCH_ (School of the Squad).

_Quick Time._

62. Being at a halt, to march forward in quick time: 1. _Forward_, 2.
_MARCH_.

At the command _forward_, shift the weight of the body to the right
leg, left knee straight.

At the command _march_, move the left foot smartly straight forward 30
inches from the right, sole near the ground, and plant it without
shock; next, in like manner, advance the right foot and plant it as
above; continue the march. The arms swing naturally.

63. Being at a halt, or in march in quick time, to march in double
time: 1. _Double time_, 2. _MARCH_.

If at a halt, at the first command shift the weight of the body to the
right leg. At the command _march_, raise the forearms, fingers closed,
to a horizontal position along the waist line; take up an easy run
with the step and cadence of double time, allowing a natural swinging
motion to the arms.

If marching in quick time, at the command _march_, given as either
foot strikes the ground, take one step in quick time, and then step
off in double time.

64. To resume the quick time: 1. _Quick time_, 2. _MARCH_.

At the command _march_, given as either foot strikes the ground,
advance and plant the other foot in double time; resume the quick
time, dropping the hands by the sides.

_To Mark Time._

65. Being in march: 1. _Mark time_, 2. _MARCH_.

At the command _march_, given as either foot strikes the ground,
advance and plant the other foot; bring up the foot in rear and

and planting it on line with the other.

Being at a halt, at the command _march_, raise and plant the feet as
described above.
