Footdrills: Spacing yourself out even more with DALAM BUKA/TUTUP BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS

Updated: at 08:20 AM

Introduction

DALAM BUKA BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS is used to space cadets out even more than KE KANAN LURUS, for things like uniform inspection or water parade. This command allows your commander to walk inbetween rows and columns, for better mobility.
DALAM TUTUP BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS is used to close the cadets back from the command above. That is why DALAM BUKA BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS is known as ‘open order, right dress’ and DALAM TUTUP BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS as ‘close order, right dress’ (the ‘right dress’ part being KE KANAN LURUS).
I actually kind of disagree with the drill being considered as FD Bronze, but that’s what HQ regards it as.

DALAM BUKA BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS

This open order command is not too difficult (as with all the other FD Bronze drills). The timing is one-two-check-up-check-one. In this command, the front row takes a step forward, and the back row takes a step back on one, and all cadets raise their legs and stomp on two. On check, you pause, then, after that, KE KANAN LURUS as per normal, but the right-most row does not raise their arm. See this diagram for a side-by-side comparison:

You can see that there is a bigger gap, and that the cadets in the right-most row have a space between them and the cadet in front of them.

DALAM TUTUP BARISAN, KE KANAN LURUS

This close order command is essentially the opposite of the open order drill. the front row takes a step back and the back row takes a step forward, all on the left leg first and on one, all cadets raise their right leg and stomp on two, then all cadets KE KANAN LURUS as per normal (after the second check). Your contingent should look just like what it was before the open order drill.

Conclusion

This drill is likely one of the longer drills you will encounter, but you may do this often. Nevertheless, it’s still quite important to learn. Good luck!
