It is not for a combat situation. They will use this movement in parades, shows, drill sequences, and some other things. Just because it is Military related does not mean it is the same thing as being Combat related.
This was used whoever in the 17th century widely as a pike and shot tactic. Invented by the Dutch stadholder Maurits, and perfected by swedish king Gustavo Adolphus!
If you think like that, how are regular column movements useful in combat. All drill is useless in combat. It's just a way of showing off and maintaining discipline.

We are doing this in a field show....
and we needed an american to tell us this?
What is the point of this, and how would this be even remotely useful in a combat situation?
Drill is for ceremonies. It would be shown at football games, funerals, etc. It is not for combat. It teaches discipline.
turning the flight 180 degrees without inverting the flight
