March.--On the word March, the left foot is carried thirty inches to
the front, and, without being drawn back, is placed softly on the
ground, so as not to jerk or shake the body: seventy-five of these
steps to be taken in a minute. (The recruit is ordered to be carefully
trained, and thoroughly instructed in this step, as an essential
foundation for arriving at accuracy in the paces of more celerity. This
is the slowest step at which troops are to move.)
