march cadence
Soldiers' stepping chant
A march cadence is a rhythmic chant or song used to keep military troops in step while marching.
The cadence caller, usually a drill instructor or squad leader, sings a line and the formation echoes it back, maintaining uniform pace and boosting morale.
The songs often feature themes of military pride, dark humor, or bravado: Your left, your left, your left-right-left.
Also called a running cadence when used during physical training.
