POSITION OF ATTENTION 4. The position of attention is one of readiness for a word of command. Alertness and exactness in this position is important, and therefore personnel should not be kept at attention longer than necessary. 5. The position of attention is the position adopted by all when addressing a superior. POSITION DU GARDE-À-VOUS 4. La position du garde-à-vous est celle qu adoptent les militaires en attendant de recevoir un commandement. Les militaires doivent être alertes et se tenir dans cette position avec précision; il ne faut donc jamais les laisser au garde-à-vous plus longtemps qu il ne le faut. 5. Le garde-à-vous est la position qu adoptent tous les militaires lorsqu ils s adressent à un supérieur. 2-1

Practice the following movements with the squad calling the time, and then judging the time: a. attention; b. stand at ease; and c. stand easy. INTRODUCTION TIME: 1 Minute WHAT: WHY: WHERE: During this period of instruction cadets will learn how to form up as a member of a Squad and how to answer to their name during roll call. Squad formations are needed in order to maintain control and order when doing drill. They also ensure uniformity during training. The roll call is essential for determining who is present at that particular time. Cadets must know how to respond so they can be accounted for. Each training activity begins with everyone forming up for the roll call. It is a basic procedure that everyone must be familiar with. 2006-05-04 1/3
BODY Note: Instructor must decide which formation to use based on the number of cadets in the group (ie: five or fewer form a single rank, six to nine form two ranks, ten or more form three ranks). INSTR NOTES TIME: 14 Minutes I STAGE 1: FORMATION OF A SQUAD 1. Forming a Squad: Prior to falling in, the squad will wait on the side of the drill square. On hearing the command FORM UP IN SINGLE (TWO OR THREE) RANK(S) - MOVE, squad members will: a. assume the position of attention; b. observe the standard pause (two, three); c. step off with the left foot and march forward towards the instructor; d. the first cadet who approaches the instructor will halt 3 paces directly in front of him/her; and e. the remainder will cover off on the first cadet from front to rear and will fall in on their left at arm s length intervals. If a second instructor is able to assist, have them demonstrate the entire movement as you give the command. Demonstrate a second time and explain each phase. Pay particular attention to how the cadets fall in (i.e.: where they are to go based on the formation used). II CONFIRMATION STAGE 1 1. Depending on the size of the group, you can break them into smaller squads to practice before putting them all together. Some will have difficulty remembering where they are to go, so you must check each smaller group. Correct errors as they occur. 2. Practice formation of a squad. III STAGE 2: CALLING THE ROLL 1. Roll Call: After the squad has formed up properly, the roll call will be taken to determine who is present. On the command ATTENTION/ANSWER TO YOUR NAME/STAND AT - EASE, each squad member will come to attention as his/her name is called and answer in one of the following ways: TIME: 8 Minutes Demonstrate giving the response appropriate to the instructor s rank. a. SIR or MA AM if the person calling the roll is an officer, chief warrant officer, or master warrant officer; 2/3
b. WARRANT when the roll is called by a warrant officer; c. SERGEANT, MASTER CORPORAL or CORPORAL when the roll is called by a cadet holding one of these ranks; and d. Each squad member shall stand at ease after answering to his/her name. 2. Other Circumstances: When a person senior in rank to the person calling the roll supervises the roll call, you will answer to your name with the rank of the supervisor. EXAMPLE: If a master warrant officer is present when the roll is called by a sergeant, cadets will answer to their name with SIR or MA AM. IV CONFIRMATION STAGE 2 1. Practice calling the roll. Ensure you have the roll call for the particular group if you are not familiar with all their names. PERFORMANCE CHECK TIME: 3 Minutes I Cadets must follow correct fall in procedure for the formation of a squad and respond to the calling of the roll. 1. Practice formation of squad. Emphasize again where to fall in based on the type of formation used. 2. Practice calling the roll by having the cadets respond to the various ranks of your choice. CONCLUSION TIME: 1 Minute SUMMARY: A. During this period of instruction the cadets have learned how to form up as a member of a squad and how to respond during roll call. B. Remember that squad formations are needed to maintain order and to control the movements of a group of people. If we did not have a way to organize everyone, there would be a great deal of confusion. RE-MOTIVATE: A. Comment on student progress. B. Forming up and calling the roll should be part of every cadet activity. It will soon become second nature to you. C. Your next drill lesson will be Marching and Halting in Quick Time. 3/3
