CLs: Alternate patrols, right and left march.
This command will be given when the PL of the first patrol reaches the spot where the back of the horseshoe is. She will then march to the right, with her patrol following her. The next patrol leader and patrol will march to the left, followed by the third patrol marching to the right and so on. The patrols will march to form a horseshoe formation. Guides are to hentak while their positions are being adjusted.
