The last line in Martín’s notebook—separate from the manual—read: “We carry what we remember. Teach it gently.” Instructor Briefing – Before a drill

3. How the Manual Is Typically Used

  1. Instructor Briefing – Before a drill, the instructor reviews the relevant chapter, points out the key visual cues, and plays the associated toque on a recorder or a digital audio file.
  2. Practice Session – Soldiers execute the movements in small squads, first at a reduced tempo (≈ 80 bpm) and then at the standard 120 bpm.
  3. Evaluation – The instructor checks each soldier against the “Checklist de Corrección” (pág. 34‑35) and records any recurring faults.
  4. Ceremonial Application – For parades, the entire unit rehearses the complete sequence: “Alto → Marcha → Izquierda → Alto → Toque de Saludo → Rendición de Honores”.
