The drill illustrated here is almost identical to the one used today. The major difference is that the position of Sling Arms is much more common today. In 1932, it was reserved for automatic rifles. What makes this series unique is the uniform. It is a transition from the uniforms of World War I and that of the 1940s to early 1960s.
The marching pace is a 30 inch step. There are 120 steps per minute when marching at Quick Time. Modern drill does not use the slower Common Step, which went out of fashion after the Civil War.
