The Stormwind Guard Drills

Marching and Battle Commands
Line up! When this order is called, all guardsmen should line up one pace away from the Guardsman/Officer giving the order. Each guard should be one arm's length from each other. The line should be a single line unless a double line is called.

Attention! All guardsmen stand to attention (commonly this order is followed by guardsmen emoting *Snaps too attention*). Stand as straight and tall as possible, arms at your sides and your heels together. You must stare directly forward, not at your commander.

Present Arms! All guardsmen salute to the front.

At ease! Guardsmen are to remain in a line up but can relax their position from ‘Attention’. Should be followed by emoting *places feet shoulder length apart and hands behind back*.

Front/right/left/about face! Turn to face the indicated direction.

March! Guardsmen are to ‘march’ (walk) behind the patrol leader.

Double Time! Guardsmen should now run, but still remain behind the patrol leader.

Forced March! Guardsmen should head as fast as they can to the designated area, they do not need to remain behind the patrol leader.

Hold/Hold position! Guardsmen are to stop exactly where they are. Nobody flees, nobody pursues.

Take cover! All guardsmen take cover behind whatever obstacles or terrain is available, ready their backpacks for battle and assess the foe to come. If failing to hide, move around to dodge the enemy blows/spells but stay near the other guardsmen.

Draw arms! Guardsmen should arm their weapon of choice.

Draw ranged! Guardsmen should arm any ranged weapon available. Casters ready spells.

Draw Grenades! All guards should ready any available grenades.

Charge! All guardsmen should charge against the foe!

Heal [Name!] Any guard close to the injured guard should bandage or cast a heal spell on the injured guard.

Form! Guardsmen should form around the officer forming a ‘square’ around him.

Fall back! After giving this order the officer runs off and stops a few screens away. All guardsmen run the same direction, and form up around the Officer in a “Square” formation unless other orders are given.

Dismissed! Guardsmen should salute the leading officer and wait for the leading officer to salute back, after which they are then free to resume their other duties/return home.
