What is the movement of About Face?

• A. Pivot 90 degrees on the left heel and ball of the right foot.
• B. Turn 90 degrees and face backward without moving feet.
• C. Put your right foot to the forefoot next to the heel of the left foot and turn 180 degrees, then close your heels ending with a 45 degree angle between your feet.
• D. Stand at attention with feet together.

Answer: (C)

About Face is a 180-degree, in-place turn to face the opposite direction while maintaining proper marching posture. The correct sequence starts by placing the right foot to forefoot next to the left heel, then turning the body a full 180 degrees, and finally bringing the feet back into the proper stance by closing the heels. This ensures you end facing the opposite way with correct alignment. The other options fail because one describes only a 90-degree pivot, another says you can turn without moving your feet, and another leaves you standing with feet together, none of which achieve the required 180-degree turn and proper final position.
