ber of the relief, tlie name, the company, and the regiment of 

 every member thereof and the post to which eacli is assigned. 

 The list will be made in duplicate, one copy to be given to the 

 sergeant of the guard as soon as completed, the other to be 

 retained by the corporal. 



108. When directed by the commander of the guard, the 

 corporal of the first relief forms his relief, and then com- 

 mands : CALL OFF. 



Commencing on the right, the men call off alternately rear 

 and front rank, " one," " two," " three," " four," and so on ; if 

 in single rank, they call off from right to left. The corporal 

 then commands : 1. Right, 2. FACE, 3. Forward, 4. MARCH. 



The corporal marches on the left and near the rear file in 

 order to observe the march. The corporal of the old guard 

 marches on the right of the leading file, and takes command 

 when the last one of the old sentinels is relieved, changing 

 places with the corporal of the new guard. 



109. When the relief arrives at six paces from a sentinel 

 (see par. 168), the corporal halts it and commands, according 

 to the number of the post : No. ( ) . 



Both sentinels execute port arms or saber ; the new sentinel 

 approaches the old, halting about one pace from him. (See 

 par. 172.) 



110. The corporals advance and place themselves, facing 

 each other, a little in advance of the new sentinel, the old 

 corporal on his right, the new corporal on his left, both at a 

 right shoulder, and observe that the old sentinel transmits 

 correctly his instructions.
