'The regiment will form hollow square! First and Third Squadrons, at the halt, left and right form!' A hundred and eighty dragoons in double rank began the manoeuvre that would transform the parade from extended line into a military amphitheatre.

Poinsett’s Cavalry Tactics for Reenactors

Each trooper quickly rejoins on the commander, or guidon, by the shortest route. Since a second charge may be ordered before all are back in place - the troopers should swing around the sides and join the formation from the rear so they do not block the front of the formation. Do not try to get back into your original position, just get into a double rank line formation as quickly as possible.

column of twos


Explanation:
The platoon forms a column of twos from the right or left when in a column of fours at the Halt. The command is Column of twos from the left (right), MARCH.

a. On the preparatory command, the squad leaders of the two lead squads command Forward. The other squad leaders command STAND FAST.

(1) On the platoon sergeant’s command of execution MARCH, the two lead squads march forward. The squad leader (second or third) next to the lead element gives the command to start both of the remaining squads in motion. Looking over the shoulder nearest the moving elements, the squad leader gives the preparatory command Column Half Left (Right) (when the second from the last man is abreast of him) and then gives the command of execution MARCH as the right foot of the last man strikes the marching surface abreast of him.

(2) On the platoon sergeant’s command of execution, both squad leaders execute the Column Half Left (Right), incline to the right (left) without command, and follow the last men of the preceding squads at correct distance (do not close the space if the files of the two leading squads are not even). Other members of the remaining squads march forward and execute the same movements as their squad leaders.
