With the US, the far right line (closest to camera) is there to keep the formation in line as the rest of the lines look right. The arm swings are from countries that used to be part of the British Empire...logical.
Same as the British Army.
*squints* But the USA used to be part of the British Empire...
The Royal Marines officer was probably out there training the local troops.
Highly likely since many African countries like to bring foreign military advisors to train troops on how to combat armed groups and the US and UK have a lot of experience fighting them.
Looked like the guy in front of him could've been American working with them as well. Don't know for sure though, but from what (little) I know it looked like he could've been.
Edit: Based on his Uniform and his Marching.
@@OverlordIcyit was an American in front of him
I agree that the Royal Marine Officer was/is an instructor. I am a former Royal Marine and I was in Kenya. I enlisted in 1956 we as recruits swung our arms to shoulder height but as a trained Marine you didn't
In the US, the right most column of troops doesn't turn their head, the middle row turns their head partially and the farthest row turns their head completely for eyes right.
This makes sense to me (but I am an American). They are troops. They are marching. But they are still troops. "Eyes right." has always been a command that inferred (everyone look in one direction so if we are marching into a trap they can spring it on us more easily) a little bit of recklessness.
I infer that the first row maintains eyes front so the rest of the formation has a constant visual guide so they don't all march out of line, right?
@@julieenslow5915 That's logical but you wouldn't be marching in formation into battle like that. This kind of marching is purely for parades and parades only. Even in the age of linear warfare you wouldn't be marching in to combat in long columns like that and even if you di, you wouldn't be issuing the Eyes Right command pm the filed of battle, that would still be just a parade command. Eyes Right, or Left, is specifically for when there's somebody of importance reviewing the parading troops like a commanding general,, or other high ranking dignitary. This is why you see the salutes right after the command is given.
@@Riceball01
Oh I get this was only on the parade ground. And to be clear - I have watched marching on a drill field while sitting between the admiral's wife and the captain's wife - and that is the closest I ever got to doing it. But that is where my mind went when I finally understood everything about that marching order was exactly as they intended it. I just didn't understand! And I still don't!
@SSgtJ0hns0n yup, we had the same marching style here in the Philippines (Our military is similarly patterned with the US). The reason is that the first line keeps looking straight ahead while the rest looks right (Eyes Right! = 'Da Tingin sa Kanan, Na! in Filipino) to keep the platoon/squad in line. The way we do our formation is that by height, I'm one of the short ones so I always remember my drill instructor telling us to not worry about what's in front of us as the Pln Sgt/Squad Leaders are the ones who will worry on it. The rest of us just have to make sure we could only see one head on the row and we're all good. Of course, there will always be times where our instructors will smoke us for not doing it right hahahaha
"Ey up thats a royal marine right there! 👀 thats a legit royal marine.......WHATS HE DOING THERE!" 🤣🤣🤣
Makes sense that places like the Philippines and South Korea have a more US style march.
you can see the British army march influence on some of these former empire countries.
I can’t believe goose stepping as a method of marching can do any good for the individual soldier.
It looks like it's murder on the knee
The Philippines: No need to show off, I know I belong here!
The American military doesn't try to put on a show.
When we march, it's more natural what you would really do.
There was a yank in front of the Brit marine
In the US we're taught 6 to the front 3 to the rear so your arm swings six inches forward and then swings behind you 3 inches when marching
The pipes are Highland pipes, and Drums, it a remnant of the British Indian army
Why are you surprised that an RMC is with a commonwealth country possibly on attachment
In the U.S. military, they stress “natural arm swing,” and if troops in basic training use too much arms swing, drill sergeants are known to say “Your not %@*^” Brits!
I think the amount of arm swinging in a military march/parade is inversely proportional to the effectiveness in combat.
Depends, Ghurkas would be an exception ..
@@robertsmith4681... and the Parachute Regiment and Royal Marine Commandos.
@@robertsmith4681 outliers are to be expected
This is the most stupid statement I have ever heard 😂
British Army drill has the inside column looking straight ahead so they know they're going in the right direction, the rest of the Troop/Squad are taking their dressing off them 💂
None of these comes close to the Spanish legion... those guys are another level
Just a guess, baut your Royal Marines officer marching with Tanzania troops - could he be there as an advisor? I've seen that over the years a lot as American officers were loaned to train something to a friendly nation.
You should checkout the Indian/Pakistan border closure ceremony! It's a nightly thing and that's proper theatrical!😂😂😂
Was once, in 1978, involved in a mixed squad at a Remembrance Day Parade in Wroughton with no rehearsal. Submariners, WAFU's, RM, Paras, RCT, RAF, RAF and Army Nurses/RAMC. With at least 4 types of drill. After being arranged in hight and positioned we were Dressed, that was bad enough (a mix of full, half arm and without intervals) The left turn was good, marching ok. The Order "Halt" was on the wrong foot for the RN contingent. But the piece de resistance was the Dismiss. Matelots turn right and wait for 2, RAF turn right, salute and march off but the crippler was the Paras who turn right and double off saluting. Bodies were knocked over and flying everywhere. On Monday the RAF WO was cordially invited to the RAF CO's office for an interview, without tea or biccies
The march of the dutch shows how freaking tall their are
Royal Marines when he spots another Royal Marine:
Any Marine from any country seeing another Marine:
It is just a Marine thing, lol.
Chewed crayons ‘90-‘98. Semper Fi!
I think its something to do as eyes right is called the first row act as keeping to pace
There was a US guy in front of the Royal Marine in that African country line up
Does your voice always go so high pitched when you spot a Royal Marine? Just pulling your leg, mate. 😉
But seriously, I’d love to see you do a reaction to the King’s Colour Squadron (formerly Queen’s Colour Squadron). Best drill in the world!
Also, the border ceremony between India and Pakistan is fascinating and highly entertaining.
QCS for HM The Queen’s 90th birthday is particularly impressive given where they were doing it.

I served in the United States Marine Corps in the 80s. The reason the United States military or at the very least the Navy, Army and the Marine Corps does not do eyes right on the outer right column is because it keeps the Marchers in line that way they don't Veer off. You line yourself up to a man to your right. It's almost impossible to look to the right and stay going straight if you don't have one side to line up against to keep you going straight. I'm not sure about the Air Force and the Coast Guard with how they do it. We don't do the high kicking an overly swinging of the arms because it is really unnecessary and just looks ridiculous. Not only that but it's not good for your joints of your feet, knees and hips to step way out and pound your feet. Overly swinging your arms is actually damaging to the shoulder joints after doing it for a long time. The Marine Corps and Army both have drill teams that March a lot sharper than you saw these Marchers and they do certain fun things in their marching that is entertaining as well as pretty slick. Try to find you if you haven't already the Marine Corps drill team and watch what they do with the rifle.
The same here with the Philippines
The Air Force also does the same US standard.
You must see the India/Pakistan border end of day parade. Straight out of the Ministry of Silly Walks. John Cleese would be proud of them.
Australia is the same as the US the inner row does not give eyes right , they just concentrate on keeping in formation, second third and fourth columns do eyes right bit though.
Boot neck and the septic were training them
for us marines, recruit training (aka boot camp) all about the high knees
This is the best reaction channels on YT imo. You’ll be at a mil sooner than you think.
What about our light infantry….. they go at a cracking pace 🫡😎
Lol, yeah, in the US Marines, when the command "eyes-right" is given, the 3rd Squad (closest to the reviewing stands) keeps their heads straight to the front while the other two squads turn their heads to the right. That lieutenant leading in the front was definitely out of step at first! I call that one for sure, unsatisfactory!
That’s funny you never included chile in the first batch who were just coming in frame
I loved cadence in the army. We had loads of blues-y sounding ones, and lots of cold ass songs about deleting a MFer.
Pillapines march like royal engineers! Respect!
If no one is looking where they are going, what do you think will happen, (RAF Reg)
The reason why the first line keeps their face straight, is to maintain the formation to keep the line straight. That’s why.
AKA they don't put any effort into making themselves look good and respectable and so they don't know how to walk in a straight line as a group
Philippine army march is more like a wall march 🔥
Commonweth country maybe
When I was in the U.S. Army, you had to earn a beret. Sad everyone just gets one nowadays.
I don't think they do anymore, that was a phase in the middle of the GWOT I believe. Yeah I loathed wearing a beret, especially as I was stationed at Fort Polk, LA..and in all that humidity they were horrible... think it's PC's(Patrol Caps) unless in the new dress uniforms. Idk, been out for awhile now.
@@jedhaney3547 we still get the black berets, however they're only worn when you graduate basic training or if you have dress blues.
My guess is the US and British probably hosted and helped trained, which is why the Royal Marine is with the other country.
I'm from the philippines if you look at our military parades they don't really do the crazy arm sways and the kicking of the feet what ever its called they just walk.
I'm pretty sure that this is because the Philippine military is heavily influenced by the US military.
US troops just going through the motions
Athletic Alcoholics giving zero f*cks lol
In regard to the way the Czechs march, their arm swing is very German. The Germans, unlike pretty much the rest of the world, swing their arms to in front of their bellies. They've been doing this since as far back as at least WWII. It's possible that the Czechs picked it up from the Germans when they occupied Czechoslovakia in the '30s.
If you want to watch something really interesting, you should watch videos of the Chilean military when they put on one of their big military parades. They wear some very familiar style uniforms for dress or service dress uniforms.
That style of marching and arm swing you refer to goes back to Prussian army drill as do those Chilean army uniforms etc. All comes from Prussia about 100 years or more before WW2.
The Malaysian one marches exactly how I’d walk normally so it’s kinda a surprise you say it’s almost double time marching. Still a great video about each country’s marching style which have been influenced by foreign traditions (I.e many UK colonies will have adopted UK drills from the habits of colonial soldiers and advisors)
Typically when it comes to marching there is 'slow time' and 'quick time'. 'double time' is more like running than marching so I assume he meant that their quick march looked a lot faster than he was used to.
Reminds me in the very early 90s there were a series of parades and whatnot to celebrate the end of ww2 and the logistics were a mess, nobody involved was used to march at the same speed.
These are platoons - not drill teams....you truly make it a point to slam the American soldiers ... smh
Looks like England didn't even show up . . .
The lead solders were officers from the bars on their collars, some of the countries had sewn insignias and I could’t make out the rank. The right front rank appeared to be NCO’s.
You should react to east german aka NVA military parade
There's a weird venn diagram of this kind of stuff. There's what was traditionally pompus and regal, what was traditionally threatening and fierce, and what was impactful and practical. The pomp and regal stuff is like the leg kicking, arms flapping, head jutted to the side kind of prancing some nations do. Others are very much brandishing their weapons or at least making them the focal point of their marching. The last group are just getting from Point A to Point B efficiently while also establishing themselves as a well coordinated group.
If you want to see a nation that's trying to be intimidating, but is really just lying on that pomp and regal side, watch any of North Korea's national military parades. Their soldiers are practically prancing and leaping, it's so painful. Painful that they think that that kind of thing is impressive and painful that their soldiers who are starving are forced to practice that crap
one can tell those that were born out of the British army. They swing their arms up to shoulder height.
I’m not military but some of these looked awfully half hearted.
According to the great googly moogly the United Kingdom is a longtime partner of Tanzania especially in the areas of trade and security. LOL so.. my guess is he's teaching them how to walk...lol
how is that important ?
I find it interesting that you can tell which countries were former colonies or primarily trained by the UK or US based on how they march. Especially how they move their arms. Look at how India marches and the UK does and you'll see what I mean.
Also the US doesn't need to swing our arms very high. We can press a button and "beep" good night. 😀
That Royal Marine doing the whole this is mine now
I suppose i learned to march in a military (irish) where we marched in the british style with a good swing af the arms. I really dont know how troops march in step without it.
the right side doesnt look right in the USA
I don't care what anyone else thinks, but one thing the Brits do properly is military ceremony. Our Blues and Royals, Life Guards, all those who wear a Busby, the lines are straight, the ranks are straight. Mate, not another nation can touch us.
I agree. I only take the British seriously when it comes to drill and happy us South Africans adopted the same drill. I recently did my voluntary 2 years in the army and enjoy drill when it's done right.
True. I left the fusiliers 40 years ago and on a recent visit to Jersey the historical gun crew at Elizabeth Castle got all the dads and grandads to parade and march together. Out of around 20 participants only two of us got it right. You'd be surprised by how many so called intelligent men turned left instead of right. 😂
i think the wirdest marches are done by eastern countries aka Russia, China , north korea etc.
UK Vet here. No offence to our allies in the US military (I work with them) but always look like they can't be bothered and just amble... 🤷♀️🫣
made worse by looking like they are wearing pyjamas.
More natural. 😂
I'm Mongolian only served my compulsory conscript 1 year. We start with regular hand swinging motion like the Czech regular walk then when the commanding officer starts to give order we start marching like how the Chinese army marching starts to tense the steps becomes louder hands are swinging and holding in certain angle and when ordered salute only the commanding officer salutes with hand and rest of them just marches with no hand movement and all tilts their head kind of angled toward the general or higher ranking officers. Then the officer gives order to cancel or just say done we go back to normal marching with hand swinging like Czech but the legs are normal walking. I guess it kinda looks flashy for the regular non army people cuz marching is just some sort of way to spread positivity that if you join army you will become strict organised and well mannered person it's for show anyway. To be real we all know it's just a show in a parade that has no value i guess it will look good for the kids making them choose wrong decisions instead of becoming doctor or well paid engineer 😂
The "2023 The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo | The First March Out" video on YT is how to march with arms up.
When I was young we would go to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo every summer! ITs fantastic!
I would love to see it - Arm swinging is important to me lol @@OriginalHuman
India🤍
And I noticed how some armies , the Philippines and even south Korea are comprised of many European men.
With regards with the Philippines, we just had more Spanish/European genes than other Asian countries. That's why you'll notice we have Hispanics on our ranks hahaha
Where was the Harkonnen march.
The Americans need more than two to keep step hence first row look forward lol
What's he doing there that's not your country mate 😂 what you doing
Probably a military attache along with the US officer
I know it was just funny the way he pointed him out 😂@@jiaweichew3370
Percy hobart...
You should check out the Bee Gees over North Korea marching
Marine ,training them ?
Most disappointing here is the US unfortunately.
We don’t swing our arms in the us bc we all have back and shoulder problems 😂
The first line of the US soldiers doesn't do eyes right because then they can no longer mach straight?
Americans are incapable of marching in a straight line is what you are saying then?
Well you try walking in a straight line whilst looking in a different direction or try driving you car and looking out of the passenger door window. On second thought please don't. 😅
@@fus149hammer5 Watch the British army do it, they do it all the time. Basic Drill.
Americans not very good when marching
They don't care.
The US military isn't trying to show off. By causing stress to body parts. When we don't have to do exaggerated arm leg or foot movements to try to look cool. We have other priorities.
the us army not looking right is intentional its to keep the formation as good as possible we do the same here in denmark
Not to be rude but plenty of others can do it, just seems like you are either incapable or unwilling to learn to do it properly from my perspective mate.
@@Oxley016or we just had different style in marching
@@Fergus_0703 he said it is to “keep the formation as good as possible” implying that they would otherwise be incapable of doing so if they weren’t looking where they are going at all times.
In the British army only a few people in a platoon sized formation would not follow the eyes right command such as the officer leading the formation as they would likely have saluted normally either with their hand or sword.
@Oxley016 it's not a matter of being incapable of not walking straight, it's just part of the marching style. The British have their own style, the Germans have their own style, and the Americans have their own style on marching. The American style may not look good here in the video, but the Americans doesn't really prioritizes drills in their military except in bootcamp in favor of training more in practical exercises such as combat.
If you want to look at proper drills by the Americans, you might want to watch their bootcamp or drill teams videos as those are where they show their snappiness as we would say here.
Honestly, I don't really find it bad or terrible. Or maybe I think it's just being biased of me as our armed forces are patterned with the US hahaha
@@Fergus_0703 I only said what I said because of the way the Danish OP explained why they march that way, or at least that was their interpretation of why. They made it seem like if they attempted to march with all eyes right then the entire formation would collapse.
