Thats not true, Most Marines I know really enjoy it except during boot camp lol, Drill is a extremely big part of the building blocks of Marines, "disipline". 20 Years later and I still miss the sound of 60+ Rifles all cracking in cadence, guys do such crisp hard movments the hand gaurds on the rifle come flying off. There is just something about a Marine plt and doing rifle drill that is just outfuckingstanding lol.
Good old Von Steuban did that to the US Army starting at Valley Forge. As an old Prussian officer he gave the US the Prussian marching style without the Goose Step or any stomping. He was the first to require the Flat hand US style salute.
Most of the marching styles are categorized into Prussian style (kick the legs high) and British style (swing the arms high), so it is easy to recognize whether the country was affected by Soviet Union or the UK.
How does it work, that is, before the arrival of the USSR, the Polish Army, the Czechoslovak Army (now the Czech Republic and Slovakia) and other countries did not exist? This is understandable, when a country creates its own army, it relies on the experience of others
Yeah, unfortunatly... Our marching style looks really badass when done properly, but look REALLY bad when not done right. But unfortunatly, our military has neglected ceremonial drill for most units. But glad to see the Marines kicking ass like always LOL!

Back in the early 70's in USAF basic training, my training flight had a recruit who had served in the South African or some British Commonwealth military. He had the "muscle memory" to raise his knee too high, swing his arms, and to stomp his feet when marching. He drove the TI crazy.
I was an officer in the US Army National Guard and was commissioned from Valley Forge Military Academy. At that school the drill and ceremony was based on the British system. Early on muscle memory was difficult to break.
I remember Back in 2004, the US guys gave up trying to tach US drill To the new Iraq Army as all the Recruits already Knew British Drill and could not be trained out of it
Former Retired US Army Band Drum Major here. I have participated in literally thousands of military parades over the 20 years I was in and I got to say the US contingents looked bad, especially the Army. I know they don't emphasize D&C anymore, especially while they are deployed on exercise but holy crap that was bad. One dude (reservist\Air Force?) looked like he was jumping on cockroaches, just doing his own thing. Uniforms looked like crap (except the Marines of course) buttons unbuttoned and caps crooked. Looks like the NCOs didn't even bother checking. However the Czech Special Warfare Sunglass platoon looked super cool. 😂😎
We've always been like this, Patton was known for beating up soldiers from other units for not wearing their ties. And bot German and Japanese commanders would go into great depth about how they hated losing to an undisciplined army
Thank you Sir for confirming what I thought! The word RABBLE came to mind when I saw the American army contingent! You would have thought they would want to put on a show in front of other nations? Can you imagine the British Army turning out and marching like that, They would be in the stockade as soon as they got back to camp!!
I’m not criticising the American style of parading, I hesitate to call it ‘marching’, more like orderly walking, some out of step. As the brat of a British soldier remembering countless parade ground marching it’s difficult when comparing style to not comment on variety. It’s interesting to note the styles of some African nations, perhaps commonwealth or ex commonwealth, are very formal just like the British military. It’s also interesting to note that the Royal Marines and the United States Marine Corps have a similar dedication to tight disciplined marching.
I don't know about the US Army, but in the USMC we were trained to march with our stepping and arm swinging in sync, with an erect posture. It wasn't about strolling through the park.
It’s effective for what matching should be, why waste all the time and energy on some flashy drill that’s not going to help in combat? The US pattern of march keeps the posture straight, the legs loose and is low effort on the muscles. Everything you’d want to have on a long ruck march in combat. The British form of marching doesn’t work in the real world.
@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 Everything you said is true, but drill has historically been a sign of good training, discipline, and unit cohesion. Plus, it can be inspiring as hell. I wouldn't want it to go away. Also, a parade environment is different than humping with gear. I don't expect anyone on the line to be goosestepping.
@@samanders2676 When I watch Indian and Pakistani soldiers march with great arm swings to the level of the top of the head I wince, but worse is that the backward swing in which they seem to force the arm back beyond any reasonable comfort level, and to make matter worse it doesn't even look good.
The thinking behind their march is so efficient. They only switch to the high-energy ceremonial goosestep when they pass in front of the uppity-ups, otherwise it's just the practical no-frills pacing. Either mode, they still keep in step. Very professional appearance.
They put more into the appearance of their armed forces than actually innovating. They put more into reverse engineering Russian, French, American, British design than going beyond their capabilities because they care more about the public opinion than actual real combat.
@@iFryTube these are usually parade units like our Old Guard. Not everyone does this stuff. So stop pulling shit out of your ass to feed your superiority complex.
Most armies have two or three types of marches. A formal one for parades, a slow one for special ceremonies and an efficient low energy one for when you just want to get from A to B with your rifle and backpack.

I had a friend who joined the Canadian Armed Forces years ago. He described the intense marching drills he had to endure in basic training. All of it was based on the old British marching style. The instructors were very strict about everything. The marching technique was very specific, and you could not graduate until you got it right.
Countless hours on the parade square, drill, drill, drill. I loved every second of it. My dad had taught me all the commands from the British army. When I joined the Canadian Armed Forces it was easy to pick up. Proud of the parades every Friday at the schools, with the RSM always ready to pounce!
Ex Canadian Army here. We took great pride in our parades (went through military college so we paraded a lot more than regular soldiers). I did basic, rifle, sword, colour party (flag detachment), even stretcher bearer drill (that was weird). We often did exchanges with US units and could not believe how sloppy they were. Almost like in the film The devils brigade 😂 Some of those showed here show a lack of pride, from sloppy uniforms to alignment. I even saw a couple doing bear walk 😮

Some of military marches are really tough and rise the legs higher. It's also used more strength and it's stressful for the legs. Others looks cool and steady and still in uniformity
@@mrdynamic8678doesn’t expend energy, it’s low stress, it’s how marching should be shouldn’t have to waste 3 weeks of training on learning how to March when you can use those 3 weeks for combat training
When I was in Naval Academy our company was the designated parade company. One day due to a very uninspired choose of the location of the parade ground, combined with an early heavy rain, we made a big fu...up from the parade march. Next day, for weeks we were exercising the parade march for months, every morning for half an hour. We never missed a march again.
China was influenced by the Prussian style of marching, hence the goose step. The goose step is used only when before who ever is watching from the viewing stand. You will see lines on the roadway where the start and stop the goose step. The Chilean march and uniforms still closely resemble the German marching up until the end of WW2.
Well, the Americans are still marching in their relaxed citizen soldier style. Compare films of the Germans marching into Paris with the American marching into the city 4 years later. Proof positive that the guys who march the best and have the coolest uniforms don't always win. @@iworkout6912

To those saying the US looks sloppy. They don’t put in as much time and effort on how to look pretty and march, but trust, when in full gear their marching looks scary.
I dont know about the other countries but for America we never emphasized drills and marching because it would send a bad message to the Americans who already dont like or trust the government
Well China is not a poor country either and only behind US in terms of economy but look at their marching. Germany also used to have one of the best marching styles but sadly no more
@@mochafirefoxy You can go watch footage of when Trump was trying to bring back military parades like we had in 1991 and our general at the time said that we don't do military parades in America it was either Milley or the dude before him, I don't remember
My dad was an instructor in the army. After school I would sit at the parade grounds as they would practice D&C. To this day I enjoy listening to the cadence being called. Can tell where they did basic by they slack in the call.
Some of the ways in some of the countries presented in their marches they look more like they need to use the bathroom really bad and less like a drill.
US & the Philippines a relaxed long marching style, but I never thought I'd see the day when my old Navy Boot Camp company matched better than some of those people!
Some people never like those, who are better than them but the reality is that the Indian army in March is better than everyone because of their coordination
As a former platoon leader of ROTC in the Philippines, I can understand the guys anxiety of the timing of the salute command in correspondence to your foot cadence 😂
I personally was trained by a military that marched in the British style so with a good swing of the arms.. I really don't know how some troops like the Mongolians could march with there arms perfectly by their sides
I don't think people realize how much proper drill and marching reflects upon the unit. A unit that can march well indicates that their members are disciplined and professional and the high level of standards kept by the unit. One that can't, demonstrates that the unit is letting standards slip.
After basic training, except for drill or ceremonial teams (e.g., funerals) and music bands, marching is rarely done since parade marching takes PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. After basic training, you have a job (medic, maintenance, clerk, artillery, security, taking continuing education classes, etc.) and the time and effort to practice parade marching doesn't add to your job performance or benefits.
For the Commonwealth "90/45" degree march, its purpose is really just to maintain alignment. For similar reasons, when taking dressing, certain uniformed group members will raise their arms to keep the person next to them at a literal arm's length. I get that the goose step is supposed to be a display of coordination, fitness and discipline - but you'll probably only really see it when the troops parade past the VIP. (source: former cadet from Singapore.)
As a former drill sergeant in a NATO allied country, I can certainly understand the time commitment involved in military parades. While some might see them as purely ceremonial, these events can serve to boost public morale, showcase national pride, and solidify international partnerships. There's a distinct difference between parade drills and combat maneuvers, but both require discipline and focus. The United States has a long tradition of military excellence, and their parade style reflects that confident demeanor. Ultimately, a military's true purpose lies in its ability to defend its nation.
Thankfully our guys are the best in combat... but when it comes to military parade... well, let's say that there is some room for improvement! 😀 Thanks guys for your service.
@@silverianjannvs5315I think the philippine march was one of the best, not overly expressive but still respectful and elegant. Very similar to the style I've learnt in the Finnish defence forces
@@benoitpisarchick6866 those uniforms are really baggy, and held together with velcro. They always look like shit. Thankfully they're being replaced, but not fast enough to prevent this.
The US Marines at least made some effort but the other US branches just moseyed like an undisciplined mob on their way to a mess hall. The Czechs looked great - almost like the French legionnaires - and so too the Philippines, but the Africans went way over the top.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoy watching the marches in other countries and I am satisfied that Russia still has the best drill discipline. Warm hugs from Russia!
Cringe. Let me just say as a former US soldier, that most of these looked like dog shit. Including the entire US groups I saw. In the first demonstration, led by Marines, the PL wasn't even in friggin' step. This is an embarrassment. The US Army guys weren't much better. I say this with complete honesty as prior Army. The best looking among the US contingent was the second platoon of Marines bringing up the rear in the first video. The best tend to be Asian militaries, like Chinese and Korean. Much more precise and disciplined And especially if you're Chinese, you'd better be perfect, or you'll pay for it. LOL But in all seriousness, the US participants are quite obviously just guys out of the barracks and not a well-trained honor guard or other ceremonial team, otherwise they'd look much better than that.
Sadly too right. On the basis of "equal opportunities" are the US forces deliberately aiming at undernourished short recruits now? Seems so as recruitment there (and in UK & Germany) is so low now. Does not bode well when, say, compared to the annual May Day turn out on men & women in Moscow?

Some of military marches are really tough and rise the legs higher. It's also used more strength and it's stressful for the legs. Others looks cool and steady and still in uniformity
Americans look like out for a walk around the block
Imagine being the flag bearers in high heels! A good job for the New Military Trans soldier 😂
@@Chvelle68 hahaha. I agreed with you. They won't survive if wars started because too dumb.
Those raising their legs and swinging their arms are the influence of socialist states.
@@mrdynamic8678doesn’t expend energy, it’s low stress, it’s how marching should be shouldn’t have to waste 3 weeks of training on learning how to March when you can use those 3 weeks for combat training

2:20 Come on Marines- How yall finna get out of step and let the Army march prettier? xD
미군:제식대충하면 니들이 어쩔건데?ㅋ
When I was in Naval Academy our company was the designated parade company. One day due to a very uninspired choose of the location of the parade ground, combined with an early heavy rain, we made a big fu...up from the parade march. Next day, for weeks we were exercising the parade march for months, every morning for half an hour. We never missed a march again.
This video sure shows the reach of the British Empire!
China was influenced by the Prussian style of marching, hence the goose step. The goose step is used only when before who ever is watching from the viewing stand. You will see lines on the roadway where the start and stop the goose step.
The Chilean march and uniforms still closely resemble the German marching up until the end of WW2.
Well, the Americans are still marching in their relaxed citizen soldier style. Compare films of the Germans marching into Paris with the American marching into the city 4 years later. Proof positive that the guys who march the best and have the coolest uniforms don't always win. @@iworkout6912

@@aleksandrpistsov3595 wtf people I was Talking about Czechia not America. Chill a little and don't write when you don't know relationships between countries. Give me an article when Slovakia was related to being a brother to America. Though I see how people might get confused but really since when was Slovakia related as a being a brother to America ? We are one of the most pro Russian countries in EU for some strange reasons. I don't understand my own Slovak blood sometimes.
To those saying the US looks sloppy. They don’t put in as much time and effort on how to look pretty and march, but trust, when in full gear their marching looks scary.
All countries are chanting
Meanwhile the Philippines: Follow the Bass Drum beats 😎
Kaliwa! Kaliwa!
Tangina kaliwa hindi saliwa!
I’m a us soldier and was shocked to see how sloppy we looked …. I thought the marines would show out but it was ehh
But you don't have to worry about it because you, the US military, are the strongest in the world. With love from Japan
6:12 that one American guy in the middle who's high af. 😂😅
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats Horrible to see
The richer a country, the less impressive the marching becomes.
The US, South Korea, Japan and Dutch soldiers are like, hey, take it easy guys.
I dont know about the other countries but for America we never emphasized drills and marching because it would send a bad message to the Americans who already dont like or trust the government
Well China is not a poor country either and only behind US in terms of economy but look at their marching. Germany also used to have one of the best marching styles but sadly no more
@@johndoe9200as a Marine, I have literally no idea what you’re even talking about.

@@mochafirefoxy You can go watch footage of when Trump was trying to bring back military parades like we had in 1991 and our general at the time said that we don't do military parades in America it was either Milley or the dude before him, I don't remember
Watching from Botswana Africa 🇧🇼🇧🇼
My dad was an instructor in the army. After school I would sit at the parade grounds as they would practice D&C. To this day I enjoy listening to the cadence being called. Can tell where they did basic by they slack in the call.
The Czech Republic killed it ! I dig their swagger and strut while keeping it very Military.
The Czechs are ready to march like that into enemy factories after their allies will betray them again. :D
Look like they all shit their pants.
They look fearless. 💪
Those big ol arm swingin windmills get me😂
Some of these folks are clearly more in the military than others and that’s awesome
行進の列がどれだけ揃ってるとかで国の特徴がしっかり表れてるの良い
The stiffer the knee the crazier the rulers are.
Not that one US soldier at the front marching out of step 😂😂💀💀
The most battle experienced army has the most chill march lol 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Some of the ways in some of the countries presented in their marches they look more like they need to use the bathroom really bad and less like a drill.
Everybody Gangstar until Germany shows up with the Stechschritt
Its alright the spirit of Stechschritt lives on with many armies on the video
US & the Philippines a relaxed long marching style, but I never thought I'd see the day when my old Navy Boot Camp company matched better than some of those people!
0:38 me and the boys on our way to the pub to get drunk on the weekends.
Well i mean its czechs so yes.
So beautiful to watch ❤
Someone needs to send some of those Marines back to bootcamp… that was heinous lil guy in the back couldn’t stay in step at all
Watching that shit almost gave me a migraine x.x lord knows their drill instructor is spinning while alive
I swear if his drill instructor sees this he's gonna rock his shit so bad😂😭😭.
that one soldier stomping when no-one else was was driving me crazy 6:10

No matter your opinions on China, they honestly always have the most unifrom and badass marching style
The Indian Marching band at 7:09 look like they're doing the march of the Penguins. Swaying back and fourth.
Better and good and just walking march of US
Some people never like those, who are better than them but the reality is that the Indian army in March is better than everyone because of their coordination
As a former platoon leader of ROTC in the Philippines, I can understand the guys anxiety of the timing of the salute command in correspondence to your foot cadence 😂
The American way they March are stormtroopers from starwars.💀
I personally was trained by a military that marched in the British style so with a good swing of the arms.. I really don't know how some troops like the Mongolians could march with there arms perfectly by their sides
Having done my tour of duty in France I was quite amazed by this too 😳
One of the best parades ever: 'Belgian Defense Cadets march’
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Belgian defence cadets death march😂😂😂
I don't think people realize how much proper drill and marching reflects upon the unit. A unit that can march well indicates that their members are disciplined and professional and the high level of standards kept by the unit. One that can't, demonstrates that the unit is letting standards slip.
As an American I’m not surprised to be disappointed with our marching cadence being sloppy or lazy as usual.
Like Biden
@@barryu4762 yet most trump
The croatians march much better hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@barryu4762 😂😂
After basic training, except for drill or ceremonial teams (e.g., funerals) and music bands, marching is rarely done since parade marching takes PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. After basic training, you have a job (medic, maintenance, clerk, artillery, security, taking continuing education classes, etc.) and the time and effort to practice parade marching doesn't add to your job performance or benefits.
I know it is tradition and all, but the massive goose steps and wild flailing of arms always looked so goofy to me.
Same
For the Commonwealth "90/45" degree march, its purpose is really just to maintain alignment. For similar reasons, when taking dressing, certain uniformed group members will raise their arms to keep the person next to them at a literal arm's length.
I get that the goose step is supposed to be a display of coordination, fitness and discipline - but you'll probably only really see it when the troops parade past the VIP.

@@RefugeInAudAcitybut the Indians and Pakistanis take it too far with 180 degrees forward and 180 degrees back
Gotta love how the Czech soldiers are a bunch of grizzled giants with beards and berets. I was legitimately intimidated by them for a half a second.
INDIAN ARMY HAVE THE MOST DISCIPLINED SMART MARCH
The Philippines and usa like just like dont mind other just be normala and look chill
Those few out of step were absolutely DOING ME IN. Chain step that shit back in line.
I wish our military focused on parades and marches more And I wish we had something iconic like the Prussia spike helmets….
go watch the Chilean military march... some of their unit still haver pickelhaubes!
The US Army used spiked helmets between 1880 and 1914 in formal dress uniforms. They were copied directly from German Army Pickelhaubes.
@@OjiOtaku chile has awesome style!!
@@petergray2712 very interesting never heard about that.
For what? The US won its independence on the backs of volunteer patriots who learned the essentials of war, not parades...
Of all the US forces I noticed that the USMC were the better on the march.
As a former drill sergeant in a NATO allied country, I can certainly understand the time commitment involved in military parades. While some might see them as purely ceremonial, these events can serve to boost public morale, showcase national pride, and solidify international partnerships.
There's a distinct difference between parade drills and combat maneuvers, but both require discipline and focus.
The United States has a long tradition of military excellence, and their parade style reflects that confident demeanor.
Ultimately, a military's true purpose lies in its ability to defend its nation.
6:38 I got lol so different Indinan marching and US marching.
Well they do not take such small steps. It looked weird. Seems it was a small ground to march.
Both come from British drill. The US made it lazy and less impressive and the Indians/pakistanis took it way too far
@@AzureRoseMarshal US army was robot walk
India looks like Minecraft Steve marching lol
I didnt see india?
that's the hand swing
demonstration of perfect discipline
Where are you from? Maybe some lazy country
Most disciplined army in the world Indian army

Thankfully our guys are the best in combat... but when it comes to military parade... well, let's say that there is some room for improvement! 😀
Thanks guys for your service.
Philippines?
@@silverianjannvs5315 My apologies, I meant US military 🙂
@@silverianjannvs5315I think the philippine march was one of the best, not overly expressive but still respectful and elegant. Very similar to the style I've learnt in the Finnish defence forces
Bro, the United States military get conquered by civilians.
The British march perfectly. What are you on about?
0:14 Impressed with the walk of Chinese soldiers, very cool.
Gotta give props where they are due. That salute rendered was crisp
Yeah, that switch from regular march to goosestep for the salute was really cool
Not boring nuts like the other

The yanks always look like they are on a Sunday stroll
and they don't look to be fit, most of them are overweight
Probably admin soldiers or some other MOS that doesn't focus on PT so much.
@@benoitpisarchick6866 thats probably the shitty UCP uniforms. Atl least the Marines still have decent uniforms
@@torg2126 no it's just north american regular size due to shitty food...
@@benoitpisarchick6866 those uniforms are really baggy, and held together with velcro. They always look like shit. Thankfully they're being replaced, but not fast enough to prevent this.
Czech looks like a bunch of casual bros going to the bar!
really lol
The US Marines at least made some effort but the other US branches just moseyed like an undisciplined mob on their way to a mess hall. The Czechs looked great - almost like the French legionnaires - and so too the Philippines, but the Africans went way over the top.
Indians Soldiers are the masters at this 🇮🇳
Все: Нормально маршируют
Американцы: Маршировать? Что? Мы так, пешком пройдем
Особенно в центре строя чел знатно прошел😂😂😂
I was hoping they invited Chile lol.
Even Carabineros march better than 80% of the contingents shown here.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoy watching the marches in other countries and I am satisfied that Russia still has the best drill discipline. Warm hugs from Russia!
China's marching style is really awesome ❤
Cringe. Let me just say as a former US soldier, that most of these looked like dog shit. Including the entire US groups I saw. In the first demonstration, led by Marines, the PL wasn't even in friggin' step. This is an embarrassment. The US Army guys weren't much better. I say this with complete honesty as prior Army. The best looking among the US contingent was the second platoon of Marines bringing up the rear in the first video. The best tend to be Asian militaries, like Chinese and Korean. Much more precise and disciplined And especially if you're Chinese, you'd better be perfect, or you'll pay for it. LOL But in all seriousness, the US participants are quite obviously just guys out of the barracks and not a well-trained honor guard or other ceremonial team, otherwise they'd look much better than that.
😂😂😂
You dont get the idea of video yeah?)
Sadly too right. On the basis of "equal opportunities" are the US forces deliberately aiming at undernourished short recruits now? Seems so as recruitment there (and in UK & Germany) is so low now. Does not bode well when, say, compared to the annual May Day turn out on men & women in Moscow?
@@7Jericho7 Pray tell? Apart from equal opportunities and unlikely fighting prowess for the majority of this video the standards are very low
@@gordonspicer the more underdeveloped and untrained army - the greater and cooler marching and parade it got.
