Introduction
This drill is more abstract, and has more movement. This drill is typically used in parades, when the GOH (Guard-of-Honour) contingent is needed to move from 3 rows to 2, for the inspection of the GOH contingent. Variations of this command include JADIKAN DUA/TIGA BARISAN, KE DALAM LURUS, where cadets execute this drill and then execute a KE DALAM LURUS (which is a variation of KE KANAN LURUS, except that you look to the centre [where the flag is, in parades] and do not raise your arms).
The timing of JADIKAN DUA/TIGA BARISAN, GERAK is 1-2, or one-check-one.
Execution
JADIKAN DUA BARISAN, GERAK
Only cadets in the middle row move. Other cadets are to stay where they are. Cadets then follow the following diagram to move. Arrows denote the direction of movement:
On 1, cadets take 1 step to their position with the left foot. Then, on 2, cadets raise their right leg and stomp. Alternatively, on check, cadets raise their right leg, and on one, they stomp.
The way to decide which way you are moving is from the command ANGKA SATU DAN DUA, DARI TENGAH BILANG (doesn’t this sound kind-of familiar?). Cadets name themselves ‘satu’ or ‘dua’, starting from the left and alternating between the two. Of course, this command isn’t done in the parade, but down beforehand so cadets know where to move.
Following this command and the diagram, all the odd-numbered cadets (i.e. ‘satu’) are the ones who move back, while even-numbered cadets (i.e. ‘dua’) are the ones who move forward. Got that?
JADIKAN TIGA BARISAN, GERAK
In this drill, the absolute opposite happens. Cadets who moved previously now return to their original position. Again, start moving with your left foot and stomp on your right foot.
Conclusion
This drill is, as I mentioned, used mainly in parades and seldom (if at all) otherwise. This drill definitely takes practice to do well, so it’s best to keep trying if you don’t get it the first time. Good luck!
