Drill and Battle Commands

Attention on Deck: When you hear this, you are to stop what you are doing and stand at attention. It could be given for something so simple as the Captain or a Lieutenant walking through command or something as grandiose as the King walking through.

Fall In: When this order is called, all guardsmen should line up one pace away from the Guardsman/Officer giving the order. Each guard should be one arm's length from each other. The line should be a single line unless a double line is called.

Attention: All guardsmen present are to stand at attention. To stand at attention you must stand straight and tall, arms at your sides and your heels together. You must stare directly forward, not at your commander, and you must also not salute.

Present Arms: All guardsmen present are to salute in front of them.

At ease: Guardsmen are to remain in a line up but can relax their position from ‘Attention’. This is generally done by sliding feet out from one another at a shoulder's length and clasping one's hands behind the back.

As you were: Return to what you were in the process of doing prior to other orders being issued.

Prepare for inspection: All guards present in formation will hold their current position and stand ready to be inspected by the superior officer. The superior officer will approach each guard in the formation. The proper response is as follows:

You are to remain silent while other guards in the formation are being inspected out of respect for the process.

Right Face: Turn to your current right side. In a marching formation, this is a mark of a change in direction.

Left Face: Turn to your current left side. In a marching formation, this is a mark of a change in direction.

About Face: Turn completely around, facing the opposite direction you had previously been facing.
Forward March/March:Guardsmen are to march behind the head of the formation's line at the pace designated by the leader of the formation's line.

Company Halt/Halt: Guardsmen are to stop behind the head of the formation's line and remain in formation.

Double Time: Guardsmen are now directed to run, however, they must still remain behind the leader of the formation's line.

Forced March: Guardsmen should head as fast as they can to the designated area. They do not need to remain behind the leader of the formation's line, however, it is advised they not stray far from the unit.

Hold/Hold position: Guardsmen are to stop exactly where they are. Nobody flees, nobody pursues.

Take Cover: A battle call to lay low, be it to an incoming foe or a known explosive device about to detonate. At this time, all guardsmen are to not only find sturdy cover behind objects and terrain in the immediate area but also move any nearby civilians to cover as well.

Draw Arms:Guardsmen should arm their melee weapon of choice.
Ease Arms:All guardsmen should sheath their weapons.
Draw Ranged:Guardsmen should arm any ranged weapon available. Those who wield magic are advised to ready a spell.

Fire:Guardsmen are to use ranged weapon or spell at given target or location.

Draw Grenades:Guardsmen should ready any available grenades or area of effect spells.

Loose Grenades: Guardsmen should lob their grenades at a given target or release any area of effect spells.

Charge:Guardsmen should charge a given target.

Medic!: Trained Medical Corps members should report immediately to tend to wounded persons or parties.

Fall Back: Guardsmen are to retreat to the commanding officer's location, unless further orders are given, Guardsmen are expected to form up around the commanding officer upon reaching the designated fallback location.

Dismissed: Guardsmen should salute the leading officer and wait for the leading officer to return the salute, after which they are then free to resume their other duties or return home.

*It is imperative, especially in a battle situation, that you keep your eyes and ears open for the commanding officer's orders. Nothing will get someone killed faster then second guessing themselves and acting as a lone wolf in the field.
