=== Compliments on the march === *'''Eyes right''': The parade turn their heads to the right after a check pace. The parade leader salutes while looking in the direction they gave. :This is done while looking to the right, except the right marker, who must stay looking to the front, to keep the flight, squad, platoon, etc. staying straight. *'''Eyes left''': Similar to the ''eyes right'' except the parade looks to the left. :This is done while looking to the left, except the left marker, who must stay looking to the front, to keep the flight, squad, platoon, etc. staying straight. ====Saluting at the halt (static)==== *'''To the front salute''' or '''salute''': The right arm is raised so the forearm is placed at a 90Β° angle, while pointing at the temple. It is generally to a count of "Up, two, three, down!" *'''To the right salute''': The right arm is raised so the forearm is placed at a 90Β° angle, while pointing at the temple. It is generally to a count of "Up, two, three, down!" *'''To the left salute''': The right arm is raised so the forearm is placed at a 90Β° angle, while pointing at the temple. It is generally to a count of "Up, two, three, down!" In the United States, salutes at a halt are given on the command "hand salute". They are lowered in the same amount of time elapsed between the two words. The command "present arms" will cause the command to salute if the command is not given rifles for the ceremony, but the salute will be held until they are ordered to lower it with the command "order arms". *'''Advance in review order, by the centre, quick march''': This is used to pay final compliments to the reviewing officer. On this very command the unit being reviewed advances 15 paces and halts automatically before presenting arms to the reviewing officer. It is usually employed by the [[British Army]] and the [[Canadian Army]], as well as by other Commonwealth armed forces.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.2824cops.com/wp-content/uploads/Army-Cadet-Reference-Manual.pdf|title=Royal Canadian Army Cadets: Cadet Reference Book|publisher=National Defence|year=2001|location=Canada|oclc=289058362|id=A-CR-CCP-121/PT-001}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.napoleon-series.org/cgi-bin/forum/archive2006_config.pl?md=read;id=67469|title=Historical Need for Drill|website=www.napoleon-series.org}}</ref>
