Halts

Categories: PRACTICE MARCH OR "HIKE"
Military Handbooks: The Plattsburg Manual

Halts are made for the purpose of resting. Take advantage of the

opportunity by sitting down at once along the side of the road near the

place where your squad will form when the march is resumed. Remain

seated until the command to fall in is given.



Sit down in such a way that you do not support the weight of the pack on

your shoulders while resting. Don't go wandering off into people's

yards or orchards. Relax as completely as possible. Get into place

immediately when the signal is given.
