What does the marching command 'dress right, dress' mean?

• A. A command to align the line to the right so everyone is evenly spaced and facing the same direction
• B. A command to turn toward the right by 90 degrees
• C. A command to stop marching and stand at attention
• D. A command to step to the right with exaggerated movement

Answer: (B)

Dress right, dress is about alignment. It tells marchers to adjust so the formation lines up with the right flank, making everyone evenly spaced and facing the same direction. It isn’t a turn of 90 degrees—that would be a right face. It also isn’t a halt or an exaggerated step. The goal is a neat, uniform line with the right side as the reference.
