Which action is described by the 'At Ease' drill command?

• A. Stand tall and still
• B. Relax but remain in place
• C. Run in place
• D. Sit down

Answer: (B)

When you hear “At Ease,” you’re allowed to relax your stance but you stay in your place. You can loosen your posture, shift your weight, and, in many drills, speak softly, but you do not step out of your position or leave the formation. This is different from the stiff, motionless posture of Attention, from running in place, or from sitting down. So the best description is relaxing while remaining in place.
