Soldiers in a formation (say, a pike division) are arrayed by
rank and by file. Commands
involve rank and/or file, and a soldier's orientation to others in
the group is by rank and file. So, get to know what they are by
clicking each of the two terms to the upper right of the soldierly
formation.
Sergeant Subtlelus says:
Aligning
oneself to file and to rank constitutes the essence of soldierly
order. It is the relationship of each soldier to all others in
maintaining the line. Comprehend? - LINE, not a haphazard
gaggling like civilians at a Saturday market. |
