This manual supersedes FM 2-10,Mechanized Elements, g Aprill941.CHAPTER 1GENERALSECTION IPURPOSE AND SCOPE1. PURPOSE. The drill prescribed herein is designed forgeneral use and may be adapted to any type of mechanizedcavalry unit. This manual should be used as a guide to asolution of minor points not specifically covered in the text.2. SCOPE. The organization, drill, and ceremonies of allunits to include the headquarters and headquarters troopof the cavalry group are covered. Some of the explanations are general in nature to give sufficient latitude foradaptation to specific units. The diagrams shown in thefigures may be adapted to any type unit and to changes intables of organization and equipment.
SECTION IICOMMANDS3. GENERAL. a. Commands for dismounted drill, closeand extended order, are covered in FM 22-5.b. A command is the direction of the commander eitherexpressed orally and in prescribed phraseology or. transmitted by any other means outlined in d below.c. Where the person to give the commands is not otherxgise prescribed, the commander of the unit will give them.d. Commands may be transmitted by any of the following methods:( ) Voice.(2)Signals:(a). Audible.I. Whistle.2. Trumpet.3. Horn or siren.(b) Touch.(c) Visual.I. Arm and hand.2.(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)Flags.3. Lights.Example of leader or base unit.Radio, voice or key.Interphone system.Staff officers.Messengers, mounted or dismo'unted.Any combination of the above methods.4. VOICE. a. There are two kinds of commands:(I) The preparatory command such as FORWARD, whichindicates the movement that is to be executed.2
(2) The command of execution, such as MARCH, HALT,or ARMS, which causes the execution.b. In mounted extended order formations there is generally no command of execution. Certain commands orsignals indicate the movement and also cause its execution,such as EXTEND or ASSEMBLE.c. The preparatory command is given at such intervalof time before the command of execution as to insure properunderstanding and to permit the giving of necessary commands by subordinate leaders; the command of executionis given at the instant the movement is to commence.Changes in formation or direction should normally be completed before ordering other changes.d. The tone of the command should be animated, distinct, and of a loudness proportionate to the number ofmen for whom it is intended. Indifference in giving commands must be avoided, as this leads to laxity in execution.Commands must be given with spirit.e. When giving commands to troops, the commanderfaces them. When the section or platoon in close orderdrill or in ceremonies is part of a larger unit, the leaderturns his head toward the unit to give commands but doesnot face the men.f. Officers and men fix their attention at the first wordof command.g. If all men in the unit are to execute the same movement simultaneously, the subordinate leaders do not repeata command; otherwise they repeat the command or givethe proper new command for the movement of their ownunit.h. If at a halt, the commands for movements involvingmarching, such as 1. COLUMN RIGHT, 2. MARCH, are notprefaced by the command FORWARD.Preparatory commands may be revoked by commanding: AS YOU WERE.j. In instruction by the numbers, all movements for thepurpose of instruction may be divided into motions andi.3
executed in detail. The command of execution determinesthe prompt execution of the first motion. The othermotions, depending on the number, are executed at the commands TWO, THREE, FOUR, etc. To execute the movement in detail the instructor first cautions, "By the numbers." All movements are then executed in detail, onemotion for each count until the caution, "Without thenumbers," is given.5. SIGNALS. a. Purpose. Drill and combat signals arefor the purpose of transmitting commands when the transmission will be more simple and efficient than would bepossible by the use of any other means. Any type of signalmust be simple, easily understood, and definite.b. Dismounted signals. Signals for dismounted drill,close and extended order, are covered in FM 22-5.c. Audible signals. Audible signals are made with theleader's whistle, siren, vehicle horn, or trumpet. Audiblesignals are limited to(I) ATTENTION TO ORDERS. One short blast.(2) CEASE FIRING. One long blast. This signal willbe supplemented by arm and hand or other type signal.(3) TO INDICATE DANGER OR AN AIR OR MECHANIZED ATTACK. Three long blasts of a whistle, vehicular horn, siren, or klaxon, repeated several times; or,three equally spaced shots with a rifle or pistol; or, threeshort bursts of fire from machine gun or submachine gun.In daylight, the individual giving the signal points in thedirection of the impending danger; at night, the alarmsignal will be supplemented by voice warning to indicatethe direction of danger.d. Touch signals. Touch signals are used by a vehiclecommander to direct the driver. They are given with thefoot or hand.(I) MOVE FORWARD. Several taps between theshoulder blades.4
(2) INCREASE SPEED. Repeat MOVE FORWARD signalmore rapidly. The taps are continued until the desiredspeed is acquired.(3) DECREASE SPEED OR HALT. Steady pressurebetween the shoulder blades. Pressure is continued untilthe desired reduced speed is obtained, or the vehicle ishalted.(4) MOVE IN REVERSE. Tap repeatedly on the backof the driver's head (helmet).(5) CHANGE DIRECTION. Press on the driver's right(left) shoulder to turn right (left). The driver continuesturning until pressure ceases.e. Visual signals. (I) ARM AND HAND SIGNALS.(a) The arm and hand signals herein prescribed cover thecontrol of vehicles in mounted drill and in mounted combat.Unless otherwise prescribed, they are given normally withthe right arm and hand.(b) Signals must be plainly visible. Where applicable,they may be given either from the vehicle or from theground.(c) Whenever the signal for a formation or movementincludes a preparatory signal, the formation or movementis executed upon the signal of execution; otherwise, as soonas the signal is understood. Preparatory signals are startedfrom the position of the arm at the side. Signals of execution are started from the position of the arm at the verticaland fully extended, except where specifically prescribedotherwise. To complete the signal of execution, the armis lowered to the side at the time the execution is desired.(d) Single signals are preferable to combinations. Whena combination of signals is used; the signals should be easilyrecognized and given in the order in which a commandwould be worded. For example, the signal for ASSEMBLEIN COLUMN OF PLATOONS should be the signals for ASSEMBLE, COLUMN, and PLATOONS, in that order.(e) To change the formation of subordinate units whenextended, it often will be preferable for the leader to move
the base unit and indicate or signal the formation desired;all others conform to the base.(f) Mounted drill and combat signals are as follows:i. Action front (right, left, or rear) or fight on foot.Thrust the closed fist rapidly several times inthe direction toward which it is desired to gointo action. (See fig. i.)Extend the arm2. Are you ready? I am ready.toward the leader for whom the signal is intended, hand raised, fingers extended andjoined, palm toward the leader. (See fig. I.)3. Assemble. Raise the hand vertically to the fullextent of the arm, palm to the front, fingersextended and joined, then slowly describe withthe arm large, horizontal circles above the head.(See fig. i.)(a) To assemble mounted personnel dismounted, this signal must be precededby the signalDISMOUNT.(See fig. 3.)(b) To assemble commanders, give this signal and follow it by holding up one,two, three, or four fingers to indicatecommanders in order of rank respectively.A signal indicating juniorswill include all superior commanders.,4. Attention. Extend the arm full length above thehead, palm to the front, and move it slightlyfrom side to side several times. (See fig. I.)5. To close formation or bring up vehicles. Extendthe arms horizontally sideward, palms up, andswing them upward to the vertical positionoverhead until palms meet. Repeat severaltimes. (See fig. i.)6. By the right (left) flank (preparatory). Extendthe arm to the full extent horizontally directlyto the right (left). (See fig. 2.)

Hold and move the light horizontally. Do not point itupward. When giving light signals under black-out conditions, use a light, the lens of which has been covered withsuitable colored material. Subordinate leaders repeat signals and pass them along the column.(c) The following light signals are prescribed for generaltraffic control:i. Right or left turn. Rotate the light in a verticalplane, describing circles 12 to 18 inches in diameter so that the light moving from the top ofthe circles travels in the direction of the desiredturn.2. Start engine. Rotate light describing circles tosimulate cranking.3. Stop or stop engine. Move light back and forthhorizontally, repeating as necessary.4. Forward, move out, go, or increase speed.

Move forward, stop, turn, and start,or stop engine.Same as prescribed in (c) above.2. Move in reverse. Steady light, held still andpointed toward the driver. (After movementof a vehicle has started, the driver must stophis vehicle when he can no longer see the light.)(e) Pyrotechnics. The use of pyrotechnics is limited toa simple, prearranged code. They are frequently prescribedfor use as signals for launching an attack, for lifting artilleryfire, for identification. of friendly aircraft, or for similarimmediate actions.f. Fire control signals. See FM 22-5.6. OTHER AGENCIES. a. Example. (i). LEADER.Unit conforms to speed and direction of leader.16
(2) BASE UNIT. Remainder of unit conforms to formation, speed and direction of the unit prescribed or indicatedas the base.b. Radio. Brief, simple commands or prearranged codeare transmitted by voice or key.c. Interphone system. Voice commands to the driveror other members of the crew are given by the vehicle commander in those vehicles provided with the interphonesystem.d. Staff officers. Staff officers may be used to transmitcommands when other means break down or are impracticable, particularly when an explanation of the situation isnecessary.e. Messengers, mounted or dismounted. Messengers are used when they are faster than any other method;when other methods have broken down or are impracticable; to clarify commands; and to supplement importantcommands to assure their receipt and understanding.SECTION IIISPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOROCCUPANTS OF VEHICLESDURING DRILL AND CEREMONIES7. GENERAL RULES. a. The occupants of militarymotor vehicles are considered in formation and do not leavethe vehicle without proper authority.b. No occupant may occupy any part of the vehicle insuch a manner as to obstruct the view of the driver.c. Occupants keep wholly inside the vehicle unless specifically directed otherwise.d. No vehicle will be moved until all occupants are insidethe vehicle.17
e. On trucks, tail gates will be kept closed while vehiclesare in motion.8. POSITIONS. Occupants in combat vehicles may beseated or standing at attention, or in one of the rest positionsas follows:a. Attention. (i) The position of attention assumedby occupants, except the driver, seated in motor vehicles isan alert position, with back erect, chest lifted, shoulderssquared, head up, eyes straight in the direction the occupantis facing, and arms falling naturally at the side. For ceremonies see paragraph 67.(2) The driver's position is the same as prescribed for seatedoccupants, except on wheeled vehicles the hands shouldrest on opposite sides of the steering wheel, on a horizontalline, generally through the center of the wheel, grasping thesteering'wheel firmly but without stiffness. For tank positions see FM 17-5.(3) Personnel, who normally stand in the vehicle (armoredcar commanders or others) assume the same position ofattention as seated personnel, except that they may supportthemselves as needed to maintain their balance.(4) Silence is maintained.b. Rests.The commands are:AT EASE,REST, ROUTEORDER.(I) At the command AT EASE, occupants of motor vehiclesmay assume a relaxed posture but do not leave their positions in the vehicle. Silence is maintained.(2) At the command REST, positions are maintained, comfortable postures may be assumed, and occupants may talk.(3) ROUTE ORDER is the habitual march order. On longmarches and in the zone of combat, where every opportunityfor sleep or rest must be taken, occupants of motor vehiclesnot specifically on duty may dispose themselves so as tosecure the most comfort and rest.18
CHAPTER 2DRILLSECTION IGENERAL9. PURPOSES OF DRILL. a. The primary purpose ofdrill is to facilitate control in combat.b. By instilling habits. of precision and response to theleader's orders and obedience to his desires, as indicatedoften by his action, it aids in disciplinary training.c. It provides a means, through ceremonies, of enhancing the morale of troops, developing esprit de corps, and furnishing interesting spectacles for the public.d. It gives junior officers and noncommissioned officerspractice in commanding troops.10. CONDUCT OF DRILL. a. Dismounted drill is covered in FM 22-5.b. Drills in which vehicles are involved are set forth inthis chapter. Intervals and distances in the formationsshown may be adapted to the space available. Dismounteddrill, simulating mounted drill and conducted by signals,should precede mounted drill. c. Mounted drills usually are restricted to units no largerthan the troop. However, the squadron may drill as a unit,using the formations prescribed in thiS manual as a guide.19
11. THE LEADER. a. The commander of each unit isthe leader. In general, during drill, he is in front of thebase element, from which position he leads the unit in thedirection and at the speed desired. He may, however, movehis vehicle where he can best observe and supervise his unit,leaving the guidance to a subordinate.b. Subordinate commanders vary the formation andspeed of their units to compensate for terrain and other considerations, but conform again to the formation of the baseas soon as practicable.12. BASE. a. The leading element is the base in all formations except line and wedge.b. The center or right center element is the base in allline and wedge formations.c. Any element may be designated as the base.d. The base element follows its leader or conforms to hismovement unless otherwise ordered. All other elementsregulate and guide on the base.e. When executing changes in formations, base elementsmove so as to prevent countermarching by other elements.13. INTERVALS AND DISTANCES. a. In close ordermounted drill, intervals and distances are normally 15 yards.They must be varied to meet local conditions of terrain,b. In extended order drill, intervals and distances arevariable, usually 50 to Ioo yards. However, since the ultimate purpose of extended order drill is to facilitate controlon all types of terrain under campaign conditions, it may bedesirable to vary intervals and distances beyond these limits.c. For march formations see appropriate filed manual forthe unit concerned.d. Increase or decrease of intervals or distances may beobtained at any time by the command or signal EXTENDor CLOSE, respectively.e. Upon halting, intervals and distances are maintainedunless preceded by the command or signal CLOSE. If in20
extended order formation, intervals and distances are decreased to those prescribed for close order drill; if in closeorder formation, they are decreased to 5 yards. When closedto 5 yards, no evolutions of drill are executed; close orderintervals and distances are taken upon moving out unlessotherwise prescribed.14. SPEED.a. In close and extended order drill, theleader and base elements move at a uniform rate of speed,usually not more than 15 miles per hour.b. Other elements, when necessary, vary their speedgradually during movements to conform with the base or tocomplete movements.15. CHANGES OF DIRECTION.a. In changing thedirection of a unit, the leader conducts the base element inthe new direction on the arc of a circle, the radius of whichis not less than I5 yards.b. If the unit is in a column formation, elements in rearof the base change direction successively in the same mannerand on the same ground as the base.C. If the unit is in any formation except column, otherelements regulate on the base and maintain their relativepositions.16. METHODSOF ASSUMINGFORMATIONS.a.Line, mass, or wedge. These formations are gained fromany column formation by a fan-shaped deployment towardeither side of the base. The next subordinate element withina unit in rear of the base moves to the left of the base, andthe third to the right of the base, and so on alternately.(See fig. 8.) These elements move by the most direct routewithout change of formation until they arrive near their,new positions when they form line or wedge if not already inthat formation. When line, mass, or wedge is to be formedin any other direction than the direction of march, the head21
of the column should be turned in the new direction beforethe deployment is ordered.b. Column. Column formations are formed from anyline or wedge formation by successive movements of the nextsubordinate elements within a unit to their positions in rearof the base. The base is followed alternately by the nextsubordinate element on its left and right. These elementsinitiate their movement by changing their formations, ifrequired,. and moving by the most direct route to their newpositions. (See fig. 8.)c. Echelon right (left). From line and wedge formations, the base element moves straight to the front, and takesthe formation indicated. Other elements echelon to theright (left) successively in the order right (left) elementleft (right) element and take the formation of the base.From column formations all elements echelon right (left)simultaneously and take the formation of the base.d. Movement of base. The. unit commander allowsfor sufficient forward movement of the base to permitsmooth changes of formation and to prevent the necessityof countermarching by any elements.e. Movements of elements other than base.Whereobliquing is prescribed in this chapter for the movements ofunits other than the base in proceeding from one formationto another, applicable movements in column, line, or by theflank may be substituted where desired. Uniformity ofmethod should be adopted by units.17. EXTRA VEHICLES. Extra vehicles which normallydo not participate in drill, when present, may be formedinto a separate platoon(s) or used to fill vacancies withinplatoons.18. VEHICLE CREWS.a. Dismounted posts and crewdrill for various crews are covered in the following:( I) Light tank, FM 17-68.22

Mounted and dismounted posts, ¼4-ton truck crew.SECTION IICAVALRY RECONNAISSANCEPLATOON, MECHANIZED19. ORGANIZATION. The platoon is the bas'ic reconnaissance unit. Within the platoon, reconnaissance teajnsare formed which are composed of armored cars and 54-tontrucks. The number and type of vehicles in each team willvary; there is no normal grouping. As a basis for illustration, however, three vehicle teams are used. Each teamconsists of one 34-ton truck with machine gun, one armoredcar, and one /4-ton truck with mortar. In column, the platoon leader commands the first team; the scout section sergeant commands the second team; and the platoon sergeantcommands the third team. (See fig. 8.)20. FORMATIONS AND MOVEMENTS. The platoonformations and movements as shown in figures 8 and 9 are:a. Line. The platoon is in line of teams in line. Thecenter team is 'the base.

21. TO FORM PLATOON, DISMOUNTED, WITH VEHICLES. a. The platoon is formed, dismounted, by theplatoon sergeant and,. after verification, is marched withnecessary arms, ammunition, and equipment to the vehiclepark. (See FM 22-5.) Upon arrival at the vehicle park,the platoon sergeant halts the platoon, directs car commanders to get vehicles ready and placed in the desired formation.He then commands: FALL OUT. At this command, thecar crews fall out and proceed to their individual vehicles.Vehicles are inspected by car commanders, and drivers perform before operation inspection, while the remaining members of the crews install weapons and load ammunition andfield equipment.b. As soon as the platoon leader's car is inspected and theengine warmed, it is moved under direction of the platoonsergeant to the point where it is desired to form the platoon.'Remaining vehicles form successively in the prescribed formation. Normal distances and/or intervals are taken unlessotherwise specified.c. When all vehicles are in place and ready to move, theplatoon sergeant takes position 6 yards in front of the centerof the platoon, faces it, and commands: I.DISMOUNTEDAfter the car crews have assumedtheir dismounted posts and car' commanders have verifiedthe presence of their men, the platoon sergeant commands:REPORT. Each car commander in
a command; otherwise they repeat the command or give the proper new command for the movement of their own unit. h. If at a halt, the commands for movements involving marching, such as 1. COLUMN RIGHT, 2. MARCH, are not prefaced i. by the command FORWARD. Preparatory commands may be revoked by command-ing: AS YOU WERE. j.
