99 % of marching is done at “Right Shoulder Arms.” Left Shoulder is for some ceremonial marching only, or supposedly for a rest in along parade.

Looks like a Saws’all that’s had the blade replaced with a knife that would surely cut through tough peices of meat that somebody’s Mum may have not boiled long enough.

Why would a bayonet be attached to the end of the barrel? Cosmetics
They want to show off their newest weapon in the parade but for cosmetic reasons they want the end of the weapon to rise above the head of the soldier carrying the weapon.

I concur..I believe it’s the British military rifle.

Notes to AlGore.
1: Don’t put your canteen on your ruck. You can’t get to it while you are walking.
2: Most M-16s work better with the mag in.
3: Why all the creature comforts on your back but no LAW, no extra belt of 7.62, no Claymores, no extra PRC-25 batteries? Will we be comfy tonight?
4: Take the muzzle cover off your rifle, idiot!
5: Take off the pieplate hat and put your helmet on!
6: Take off the rain jacket and put your flak jacket on!
7: Secure all the “hanging lanyards!”
8: Get an effing haircut!

However, you are supposed to go to “Port Arms” for facing movements, such as “Column Right” or “by the Right Flank,” and so on. Otherwise, it’s Three Stooges time.
