EO8.1(R) COMMAND A PLATOON IN THE FORM OF A COMPANY FORM UP
REVISION
Words of command
All words of command must be clear and powerful since the way in which they are given effects the reaction which they inspire. Each word of command is divided into three parts.
▪ Introductory. Lets the squad know what movement they are about to carry out, i.e., “MOVE TO THE LEFT IN THREES”.
▪ Cautionary. The drawn out loud reminder to the squad, i.e., “LEFT”
▪ Executive. The high pitched sharp command, e.g., “TURN”
Time and pace
The rates of marching, length of pace and timings of drill should be as follows:
• Regulation pause. The regulation pause refers to the short pause between movements and is equivalent to two marching paces, i.e., “ONE- TWO THREE- ONE” this should be judged so as to allow 40 movements to be completed in a minute.
• Rate of March. 116 paces to the minute.
• Length of pace. 750mm (30 Inches)
COMPANY FORM UP
Company drill is a stimulating and challenging method of teamwork. It provides a logical framework for the forming up of a large number of troops for inspections and ceremonial parades. It can be modified to suit all arms by the alteration of sub unit titles e.g. squadrons, troops etc.
THE COMPANY MUSTER PARADE
The platoons of the company are normally formed up in line from the right in order of seniority.
Each platoon has a Right Marker who is located on the right of the front rank.
The Platoon Sgt is located 3 paces centrally to the front of the front rank.
Supernumerary SNCOs form a rank 3 paces to the rear of the rear rank.
