The adjutant then commands:  1. Passin_review_, 2.  FORWARD, 3.  MARCH.

The guard marches in quick time past the officer of the day, according to the principles of review, and is brought to eyes right at the proper time by the commander of the guard; the adjutant, commander of the guard, leaders of platoons, sergeant major, and drum major salute.

The band, having passed the officer of the day, turns to the left of the column, places itself opposite and facing him, and continues to play until the guard leaves the parade ground.  The field music detaches itself from the band when the latter turns out of the column, and, remaining in front of the guard, commences to play when the band ceases.

Having passed 12 paces beyond the officer of the day, the adjutant halts; the sergeant major halts abreast of the adjutant and 1 pace to his left; they then return saber, salute, and retire; the commander of the guard then commands:  1. Platoons,right_ bysquads_, 2.  MARCH, and marches the guard to its post.

The officers of the day face toward each other and salute; the old officer of the day turns over the orders to the new officer of the day.

While the band is sounding off, and while the guard is marching in review, the officers of the day stand at parade rest with arms folded.  They take this position when the adjutant comes to parade rest, resume the attention with him, again take the parade rest at the first note of the march in review, and resume attention as the head of the column approaches.

The new officer of the day returns the salute of the commander of the guard and the adjutant, making one salute with the hand.

356.  If the guard be not divided into platoons, the adjutant commands:  1. Attrail,_guard_right_, 2.  MARCH, 3. Guard, 4.  HALT, and it passes in review as above; the commander of the guard is 3 paces in front of its center; the adjutant places himself 6 paces front the left flank and abreast of the commander of the guard; the sergeant covers the adjutant on a line with the front rank.

SECTION 21.  INFORMAL GUARD MOUNTING FOR INFANTRY.

357.  Informal guard mounting will be held on the parade ground of the organization from which the guard is detailed.  If it is detailed from more than one organization, then at such place as the commanding officer may direct.

358.  At assembly, the detail for guard falls in on the company parade ground.  The first sergeant verifies the detail, inspects their dress and general appearance, and replaces any man unfit to march on guard.  He then turns the detail over to the commander of the guard and retires.

359.  At adjutant’s call, the officer of the day takes his place 15 paces in front of the center of the guard and commands:  1. Officer(or_officers)_and_noncommissioned_officers_, 2. Frontand_center_, 3.  MARCH; whereupon the officers and noncommissioned officers take their positions, are assigned and sent to their posts as prescribed in formal guard mounting. (Par. 352.)
