On the command MARCH, the fourth element and the guide stands fast. The remaining elements take the required number of right steps, all at the same time, and halt together.

Close March (Marching)
Requirements: Marching at Attention; in Column Formation; at Normal Interval; in the Cadence of Quick Time

On the command MARCH, which is given on the right foot, the fourth element and the guide takes up the half step (beginning with the left foot) following the command of execution. The third element obtains close interval by pivoting 45 degrees to the right on the ball of the left foot, taking one 24-inch step (with coordinated armswing) toward the fourth element, and then pivoting 45 degrees back to the left on the ball of the right foot.

The second element takes three steps between pivots, and the first element takes five steps between pivots. The original direction of march is resumed; the half step is taken up once close interval is obtained; and dress, cover, interval, and distance are reestablished.

On the command Forward, MARCH, all elements resume a 24-inch step.
