Question: 1 / 400

During what command do cadets take one step backwards?

Back, MARCH

The command that prompts cadets to take one step backwards is "Back, MARCH." This command specifically instructs the unit to move in reverse for a designated distance, which is one step backward. When executed properly, the cadets will pivot on their heels and step back with their left foot, followed by their right foot coming back to the position.

In contrast, "Close Ranks, MARCH" instructs cadets to take steps forward to close the ranks, thus moving closer together rather than stepping back. "Fall Out" allows cadets to disengage from formation without specific movements, and "At Ease" indicates a relaxed stance but does not involve any marching movements. Each of these commands has a different purpose and results in varying actions from the cadets.
