Just passed BLC and this is all still current. The exact same drill and ceremony test. Only missed points because I moved my head up and down when aligning the squad
LegendarySkypenis thank you. However practice practice practice ... Not just for BLC, but even just for knowledge. When you are in a position where you have to march other people
Served 7 years in the military, 09-05, this brings back memories. I still remember all these commands and what seemed like ENDLESS HOURS of drill time.
For those of you who say that pressing of uniform is not authorized. Read your AR 670-1 a little closer. "Professionally Pressed" and "Starched" is not authorized. I press my own uniforms at home and get the same look as professionally pressed from a distance.
Career Soldier Absolutely, especially with the newer ACUs (with the buttons on the cargo pockets - they also have insect repellant built in). However, the FR ACUs can turn orange/pink under a hot iron and A2CUs shouldn't be pressed. I iron my regular ACUs. Feels good to look good, especially in uniform. I almost miss seeing the whites of my eyes in the morning in my old Altimas with a fresh coat of Lincoln wax and Kangaroo ;)
I retired in 1998. I still press (starch) my duty uniform and highly shine my footgear. My co-workers' footgear scream "kiwi". I still worry about my gig line.
You can tell that it’s a continuation upon the Civil War era drill. They have ‘fall in’ ‘count ‘ ‘dress right dress’. It’s just that there’s modern adaptions like keeping distance and counting upwards instead of One’s and Two’s. They still sort by height. By file left/right is now column left/right. Marching by the flank is different I think... I should read more about it. Right about march is now ‘Rear’. So ye, very similar.
I was a 27m in the army... I did some pretty bad ass stuff, my deployments were one of a kind. 3 top security clearances and always the only female in most of my units. Rocket launching is extraordinary and special shit still my favorite part of the army was drills... so sharp, made me feel so special and like a superhero... I loved it . Hooahhh! Bravo bulldogs all the way! We would wake up the whole base at 5am during battalion drills! Good times!
4:52 into the video the squad leader is given the command of March the squad by the SGL. The squad and squad leader are at the position of At Ease. I thought the squad first had to be brought to the POA then given the command to March the squad. its been awhile so I may be wrong
Nayuta Kani nope. TC 3-21.5, chapter 4, section 6 reads “To Halt while marching, the command Squad (Platoon), HALT is given. The preparatory command Squad (Platoon) is given as either foot strikes the marching surface as long as the command of execution HALT is given the next time that same foot strikes the marching surface.”
American military drill had always intrigued me. It is so different, even the similar movements seem do alien. The turns on the march a cool. Do you guys not do wheels or forms? Is your drill pam available in the public domain?
Some can be done on either foot, such as quick-time, double-time, route-step, and mark-time, but you'll always begin marching on the left foot and all facing movements should be done on the same foot you're turning towards. The reason is that the next movement isn't to execute the movement, it's a step. This is to bring your opposite foot forward and give you stability while pivoting. Think 'step-turn' in your head.
@@LawnPygmy I'm a 23 year US Army Combat VET. I was at one time an E-6 because I went to FT Rucker for WOS. I retired as a CW3....and yes I did go to Warrant Officer School after getting my 6 because I didn't go to BNCOC otherwise I would have been considered Indefinite
I think if that were the case, his commands would've been more precisely synchronized with when the squad members' feet (left or right) were hitting the deck. This looked very much Army to me...going through the motions but lacking gusto and precision.
Ah...And here we go again. Some marine nut hugger, who probably never served a single day of military service, just HAS to click on an ARMY video, then chime in with silly, non-pertinent nonsense.What a bozo!
Couldn’t have been a Leatherneck, it was clear English. JK, I salute all of our troops, those who set the path, those who walk it today and those who will keep it tomorrow. Well done brothers and sisters. Go RED LEGS, 1987 - 1997.
@@elevenb6967 idky im just seeing this 😂 but when u sent this comment I completed 4 whole years in the Marines and had just transferred over to the Army 😂
@@josephlewis7580 How nice for you. However, to say that, because of the way he moves, or calls cadence, he MUST have been a prior service Marine, is, well, to put it nicely, presumptuous. What's hilarious about so many Marine guys, is that, they never STAY in the Marines, and eventually switch to the Army. 9 out of 10, they're pogs. Then, have the effrontery to talk crap about the Army. And its pogs, no less. Hilarious!
Question: Let's say I want to inspect that my squad has a document in their top, left uniform pocket (orders, medical form, etc.) that they should all have on them on duty. When in the inspection process should I ask for the document (I assume while facing the soldier)? How should the command be given to produce the document? Should I order all soldier to get out the document at the same time or one by one as I inspect them?
I'm going to BLC soon. Can someone please tell me about any websites, videos,tutorials or any information that can help me to be successful. Any help will be appreciated.
Okay, what is happening here is that the drill sergeant respects his soldiers. Very important. When I was in the army, my Captain had no respect for me. I cannot throw my life in the line for that guy. Our army is a joke.
Why are people being taught to act like goddamn robots? Like bruh why does there have to be a specific way to TURN YOUR BODY. I'm not in the military and I may sound dumb but please explain this to me
It's called discipline and teamwork. It develops pride in accomplishing something looks simple, but when doing it is difficult. The pride, discipline and teamwork developed while training to march are directly related to the discipline and teamwork needed to do combat drills where mistakes kill people. Good combats drills lead to victory over those who have no discipline or teamwork.
What happened to picking your feet a can height off the ground. They look stupid not doing this. You have to set the position after you move and you lift your leg off the ground 15cm.
Thats why we win wars, because we spend more time training how to fight and no time trying to do choreographed interpretive dance. We march in crisp uniform fashion to display cohesion, orchestrated precise execution of orders by a cohesive unit. The kind of cohesion thats born from combined struggle. The cohesion that wins all those fights we're busy training for. So yeah nothing fancy but, cans of whoopass don't usually prance up on people.
The NCO commentator is not even Airborne Qualified. LOL! But so the fuck what anyway if he wears a maroon beret of a Paratrooper. Just my comment as any NCO would make. I remember doing this before the Army in high school JROTC. Helped me fine in PLDC and BNOC back in the day.

Nathan Duckett thanks for the advice I’m a pvt and still prepping for BLC

Must it be in that exact order or must you just use all the commands?
I see other videos with different movement but same commands
Blue Diamonds order is not important for grading however it is easier if you plan it out ahead of time with practice
Great video
Passes you every time
I do column right
Column half right
Column half left

Right flank
Left flank

they are going to OCP's now, they are basically copying the marine camouflage pattern.

one of the most helpful video
This is very good. I think it would’ve been able to see how columns are done if they were in squadrons on 3

They must be at the position of "AT EASE". I am a SGL at a BLC.
Not a bad example. Fort Knox used to do it a little bit different, but this is just fine. Good production and awesome to watch.
Helped me for WLC
If you are going to WLC you should already know basic drill and ceremony
I wish I found this yesterday because I failed my D&C 10 17-2018😭 BLC

Im gonna use this for my JCC TEST tomorrow thanks for the video
im a jrotc student so im trying to remember this stuff
yo sorry i stumbled on this. im conflicted because im a hippie, but this is rad. Go you guys! I love you!
Watching this video it appears the unit leader may have been a prior service Marine. His drill is sharp!
He was
I thought the command for mark time and halt is given on left foot, not right
I had to do that in WLC, also had to do it in a gym. (Much smaller area)
how do they know which way to turn on a rear march, why doesnt 2nd man turn right and 4th man turn left to execute a rear march?
I am Koren where military service is mandatory and I have never been to arm but thinks well-trained soldiers are cool
I miss Fort Bragg... True Soldiers.

When marching, you always give the command of execution on your left foot right?
Mostly. There are several commands that may be given on either foot such as Mark Time and Halt.

Rear march 、column right 、column half right、right flank should be called on the rilght foot
Have you done a viedo of counter colum
