This exercise works ALIGNMENT! And it works distance! It’s foundational to moving your feet and drilling! This one also allows you to isolate things like arm swing or rifle carriage while simultaneously focusing everyone taking that same size halt-step each and every time!
Sequence:
8 Steps Forward (7th Step is Halt Step, 8th Count is Closing the Feet)
4 Counts of Checking Alignment
4 Counts of Resetting to Attention
This one requires mental engagement. You can’t tune out or not think and wind up with great alignment at each halt! And you can’t tune out during the halt or you’ll miss the step off of the next set!
