 To march again to the front the commands: 1, Forward, 

 2. MARCH, are given. Each trooper executes another about 

 to the left. It a line of foragers be halted while marching to 

 the rear, each trooper turns to the left about and halts, faced 

 to the front (par. 474). 



Gaits are regulated as in par. S37-d. 



Dismounted, each trooper executes to the rear (par. 82). 

 If at a halt, the movement of the foragers to the rear is exe- 

 cuted by the same commands as when marching.

yards distance, 2. MARCH. This movement may be used to 

 cross a hre-swept area when such a course is necessary. The 

 leader indicates the point where the squad is to be reassem- 

 bled. The fours (twos or troopers) move out successively 

 from head to rear in column or right to left in line. Each 

 element may extend laterally on its guide. The gait is the 

 gallop. 



414. Being deployed as foragers and in order (par. 470) to 

 assemble: 1. Assemble, 2. MARCH. The guide advances and 

 follows the leader. The other troopers close in on the guide 

 and form in line upon him in the same relative order in which 

 they were at the moment the assembly was commanded. The 

 leader halts the guide at any time if it is desired to assemble 

 without gaining further ground in the direction of march.
