Marching

It is a major part of military basic training in most countries and usually involves a system of drill commands.

It can also be used as a general term to describe a protest in which protestors move such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a watershed moment in the civil rights movement.

[2] A soldier learning to march to drum cadences, martial music and shouted commands is considered an essential element of teaching military discipline.

Some South American and Eastern European countries march on parade with the stiff leg earlier famous as the "goose step" of German troops.

[citation needed] The Royal Marines refer to a long distance march carrying full kit as a yomp.

The march usually consists of Active Duty and Retired Military Personnel, Cadet Corps, Relatives and volunteer civilians.
