    An O-6 in the United States Navy is a Commander.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    An O-6 in the United States Navy is not a Commander, but rather a Captain. In the Navy's officer rank structure, O-6 corresponds to the rank of Captain, not Commander.

    Correct Answer
    A. O-6
    Explanation
    A Captain in the U.S. Navy is classified as an O-6. In the U.S. Navy, pay-grades are denoted by a combination of letters and numbers. The "O" stands for Officer, and the number "6" indicates the rank of Captain. The O-6 pay-grade is typically achieved after several years of service and is a senior officer rank in the Navy.

    What foot do you call "To the rear, March" on?

    • Right

    • Left

    Correct Answer
    A. Right
    Explanation
    "When calling 'To the rear, March', the foot that is used is the right foot. This command is commonly used in military drill and marching exercises, instructing the soldiers to turn around and march in the opposite direction. The right foot is used to initiate the movement, as it is the foot that is typically used to start marching forward. Therefore, the correct answer is right."

    After the platoon has executed a "To the Rear, March", what is/are the only command(s) allowed to be called? (Check all that apply)

    • To the Rear, March

    • Column Right, March

    • Column Left, March

    • By the Right Flank, March

    • By the Left Flank, March

    Correct Answer
    A. To the Rear, March
    Explanation
    After the platoon has executed a "To the Rear, March", the only command allowed to be called is "To the Rear, March". This is because the command "To the Rear, March" instructs the platoon to turn around and march in the opposite direction. The other commands listed, such as "Column Right, March", "Column Left, March", "By the Right Flank, March", and "By the Left Flank, March" are not applicable after executing a "To the Rear, March" command.

    You can go to parade rest while at an about face.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    "Parade rest" is a military position where the person stands with their feet shoulder-width apart and their hands clasped behind their back. "About face" is a command that requires the person to turn 180 degrees to face the opposite direction. These two commands are incompatible, as "parade rest" requires the person to stand still while "about face" requires them to move. Therefore, it is not possible to go to parade rest while at an about face.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    How many paces away from the platoon should the Platoon Commander be before giving commands?

    • 3

    • 1

    • 6

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    The Platoon Commander should be 6 paces away from the platoon before giving commands. This distance ensures that the commander is close enough to be heard by the platoon, but also allows enough space for the platoon to carry out the commands effectively. Being too close or too far away may hinder communication and coordination. Therefore, a distance of 6 paces strikes a balance between proximity and effectiveness.
