What's the point? edit
Can anyone with experience of military drill explain what the point of marching on the spot is, and when it is used (ideally in the article rather than here, and with reference to sources)? Why not just stand still? Beorhtwulf (talk) 20:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's used sometimes by color guards, so they can change direction in tight spaces. See this as an example. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 07:10, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
