DRILL SIGNALS 



The drill signals include both the preparatory commands and the 

 commands of execution ; the last note is the command of execution. 



The drill signals are taught in succession, a few at a time, until the 

 officers and men are thoroughly familiar with them, some drills being 

 specially devoted to this purpose. 



The memorizing of these signals will be facilitated by observing 

 that signals for all movements to the right are on the ascending scale ; 

 that signals for the corresponding movements to the left are corre- 

 sponding signals on the descending scale ; that the changes of gait are 

 all upon the same note; that captains' call is the first two bars of offi- 

 cers' call with the attention added. 



In the presence of the enemy all bugle calls are prohibited.
