marching Military?

Question

What are the comands for marching with a wepaon?

Answer 1

You've got Order Arms, Port Arms, Sling Arms, Right Shoulder Arms, Left Shoulder Arms, Present Arms, and then there's everyon'e favorite: Inspection Arms. I think that's all of the commands for weapons dril and ceremony.

Answer 2

There's several, too many to even begin listing. I would suggest....STP 21-1 SMCT - Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks-Skill Level 1 or TRADOC PAM 600-4 - Initial Entry Training (IET)Soldier's Handbook-Vol 1.

I know you ONLY asked for commands while marching, so some of the commands given while in a stationary formation will not apply. But most do.

Answer 3

Smae as when marching with no weapons. Except, Left shoulder, Right Shoulder, Open Arms, Close Arms, Ready, Aim, Fire,

Answer 4

Actually, not all commands are given on the left foot. "Eyes Right" is a command used during military parades in which all but troops in the right file turn their heads to the right as they pass in review. It's equivalent to a salute. Anyway, this command is given on the right foot. As well the marching command (both preparatory and executionary) of "Rear" or "To the Rear" is given on the right foot.

Answer 5

All commands are called on the left foot. For left shoulder (the weapon on your left shoulder) you call "left shoulder arms," saying the first two words when you land on the left foot, take a step and then say "arms". There is also port arms (holding the weapon in front of you with both hands), in which case you call "port arms," for this you call "port," take a step, then "arms." For right shoulder it's the same thing as left shoulder except you call "right shoulder arms."
