When troops are drawn up in line for review by an officer superior to the brigadier, after the salute has been given, the brigadier, accompanied by his staff, will post himself on that flank of his command to which the inspecting officer repairs; he will receive him and accompany him to the limit of his command; the brigade staff, while passing down the line, will precede the brigadier by two horses’ length.
4. Drums and band.
When drums and bands are massed they will each be in four ranks.
PLATE XI.
Review of a Brigade.
194. A Brigade marching past.
1. Points will be placed on the principles prescribed for a battalion, and the brigade will march past as the general officer commanding may direct.
| MARCH PAST. | In column, from line of quarter columns.—On the caution from the brigadier, commanding officers will order their battalions to form fours to the right, and they will move off on his signal. |
Each battalion in succession, when it reaches the first point, will wheel to the left at the double by order of its commander, moving forward and changing the time when it has advanced sufficiently not to check the battalion in rear; when the leading battalion reaches the saluting base, it will be halted, turned to the left, and dressed by the right. The remaining battalions will form mass in rear of the leading battalion, moving by the shortest lines.
