D&C is used daily by the US Army, to move personnel from point A to point B. During running. During inspections. During pass and reviews.

15 years out, and "9 to the front and 6 to the rear" is still drilled into my head. Even my "about face" is still solid, while needing some practice.

    This depends a lot on your branch and unit. Many many people never do a pass and review or any type of inspection other than counting inventory. I disagree that marching skills are used during running, that's freeform.

    Anyone who has served longer than 3 years has done a pass and review.

    Anyone who has been to a perm duty station has had a class A inspection.

    Anyone who has ever served has marched daily, in formation, from point A to point B.

    Double time is a marching speed, aka running, and you have to run in step.

    Ok. I guess your perspective is correct and there is just one military that is all the same.

    Well, for this discussion, I thought we were limiting focus to the military unit involved: The US Army, which I have intimate perspective on, having done it for 15 years.
