[19.] 1. Front, 2. PASS. Place the right foot quickly about once its length in front of the left, advance the left foot to its proper position in front of the right.
[20.] 1. Rear, 2. PASS. Place the left foot quickly about once its length in rear of the right, retire the right foot to its proper position in rear of the left.
The passes are used to get quickly within striking distance or to withdraw quickly therefrom.
[21.] 1. Right, 2. STEP. Step to the right with the right foot about once its length and place the left foot in its proper relative position.
[22.] 1. Left, 2. STEP. Step to the left with the left foot about once its length and place the right foot in its proper relative position.
These steps are used to circle around an enemy, to secure a more favorable line of attack, or to avoid the opponent's attack. Better ground or more favorable light may be gained in this way. In bayonet fencing and in actual combat the foot first moved in stepping to the right or left is the one which at the moment bears the least weight.

[23.] The commands for and the execution of the foot movements are the same as already given for movements without the rifle.
[24.] The men having taken intervals or distances, the instructor commands:
1. Bayonet exercise, 2. GUARD.
