Which movement pair is described as starting on the right foot?

• A. Left step and left face
• B. Forward march and halt
• C. Right step and about face
• D. About face and left step

Answer: (C)

In drill, starting on the right foot means the first motion you perform uses the right foot. A movement labeled a right step explicitly tells you to step off with the right foot, so the sequence begins on the right. The other options don’t specify starting with the right foot: a left step starts with the left foot, forward march is a continuous movement that doesn’t pin down the initial foot in the same way, and about face followed by a left step would start with turning first, then stepping with the left. So the pair that begins with the right step is the one that starts on the right foot.
