THE LEADING INDIVIDUAL OF EACH FILE ESTABLISHES NORMAL INTERVAL (BY TAKING SMALL CHOPPY STEPS AND ALIGNING WITH THE BASE FILE) AND ESTABLISHES EXACT SHOULDER-TO-FINGERTIP CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT. THE SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH ELEMENT LEADERS ALIGN THEMSELVES DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF THEM (USING SMALL CHOPPY STEPS) AND VISUALLY ESTABLISH A 40-INCH DISTANCE. AS THE REMAINING MEMBERS ALIGN THEMSELVES BEHIND THE INDIVIDUAL IN FRONT OF OR TO THE RIGHT OF THEM, THEIR SHOULDERS MAY OR MAY NOT TOUCH THE FINGERTIPS OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO THEIR RIGHT.

FROM THIS POSITION, THE FLIGHT COMMANDER VERIFIES THE ALIGNMENT OF THE FRONT RANK. IF NECESSARY, INDIVIDUALS ARE CALLED TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD BY NAME OR NUMBER. MILITARY BEARING IS MAINTAINED AND, INSTEAD OF WEAVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, SHORT SIDESTEPS ARE TAKEN TO VERIFY ALIGNMENT. THE FLIGHT COMMANDER THEN FACES TO THE LEFT (RIGHT) IN MARCHING, HALTS ON THE PROPAGATION OF EACH SUCCEEDING RANK, EXECUTES RIGHT (LEFT) FACE, AND ALIGNS THE RANK. AFTER VERIFYING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RANKS, THE FLIGHT COMMANDER FACES TO THE RIGHT (LEFT) IN MARCHING, MOVES THREE PACES BEYOND THE FRONT RANK, FACES TO THE LEFT (RIGHT), AND COMMANDS READY, FRONT. EXECUTING A MINIMUM OF MOVEMENTS, THE FLIGHT COMMANDER TAKES THE NORMAL POSITION BY THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE IN FRONT OF THE FLIGHT.

THE LEADING INDIVIDUAL OF EACH FILE (EXCLUDING THE BASE FILE) OBTAINS THE PROPER INTERVAL (NORMAL OR CLOSE). THE BASE FILE ESTABLISHES AND MAINTAINS A 40-INCH DISTANCE. ALL OTHERS ALIGN THEMSELVES BESIDE THE INDIVIDUAL TO THEIR RIGHT AND BEHIND THE INDIVIDUAL IN FRONT OF THEM. INVERTED COLUMN FORMATION. THE SAME COMMAND AND PROCEDURES USED TO REESTABLISH DRESS, COVER, INTERVAL, AND DISTANCE WHILE IN COLUMN FORMATION ARE USED IN INVERTED COLUMN.
